A coaching-informed guide to the pressures and guilt of modern motherhood

Motherkind examines the often competing expectations placed on mothers: intensive parenting, professional progress, emotional composure, and the pressure to put everyone else first. Zoe Blaskey combines research, coaching tools, expert perspectives from her podcast, and stories from the Motherkind community to frame these pressures as systemic rather than individual failure. The book addresses guilt, difficult emotional reactions, daily fluctuations, and personal boundaries, while questioning familiar ideals of self-care and balance. Its practical emphasis is on helping mothers identify the demands shaping their lives and develop more supportive ways of responding to them.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Mothers seeking tools for navigating guilt and competing expectations
  • Parents interested in coaching-based approaches to emotional wellbeing and boundaries
  • Fans of the Motherkind podcast and its expert-led conversations

Book overview

"Life changing" Red Magazine

"An important and impressive book, that will change how you experience motherhood" Dr Julie Smith

Modern motherhood is insane. We're expected to parent perfectly, bounce back, enjoy every moment, forge ahead at work and keep smiling through all the endless expectations - all whilst forgetting about ourselves.

Based on years of research, proven transformational coaching tools, world-leading expertise from hundreds of podcast guests such as Dr Gabor Mate Philippa Perry and Dr Becky Kennedy and real-life stories from the Motherkind community, this validating, judgement-free book will help you to:

  • Understand the pressures of modern motherhood, and why you're not failing
  • Support yourself through the daily ups and downs
  • Change your relationship with guilt, and finally feel good enough
  • Handle your challenging emotions and reactions in a new way
  • Learn why 'self-care' doesn't work - and what does
  • Ditch the idea of 'balance' and embrace boundaries instead

This empowering book will give you the tools you need to thrive in modern motherhood and become your happiest self - for yourself and your children.
