Zoe Blaskey on Self-Compassion and Backing Yourself in Motherhood

Life After Birth with Yara Heary

Hi mamas. Join me for this beautiful conversation with Zoe Blaskey, mum of two and the woman behind the Motherkind Podcast. Zoe invited me to be a guest on her podcast a few months ago, and so I was excited to return the invite and have her come on Life After Birth to share more of her story and insights with you all.

In this conversation, Zoe shares with me about her own upbringing, and reflects on the ‘credits’ and ‘debits’ of her childhood and the role they played in her life and the forming of her core patterns. We discuss her transition into mothering, and explore what Zoe calls her perfectionist tendencies and her inner critic during her early years of mothering. Zoe talks about the importance and power of self-compassion, re-parenting yourself, and nurturing a kinder inner voice, for your own wellbeing but also to pass this on as a ‘credit’ to our own children.

We also discuss:

- The story behind Zoe starting the Motherkind Podcast and platform.

- The shift that can come from parts work and in finding compassion for the parts within.

- The importance of decision-making, implementing boundaries and living a life of alignment and authenticity.
