We're looking about parenting all wrong in today's world – and you're about to find out why.
This week, we're doing something a bit different and opening up a conversation about something that often overlaps with menopause, and we're seeing more and more of our audience talking about... motherhood!
We know that more and more women in the western world are parenting later in life, which means raising a family is often colliding with the oncoming storm of perimenopause / hormonal turbulence. So what's the secret to coping?!
Let's hear from the expert.
This week, Dr Naomi Potter is joined by parenting specialist, coach, and podcaster Zoe Blaskey to explore the hidden pressures mothers face during midlife and why so many women feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and guilty.
Zoe introduces us to the concept of matrescence – the psychological and physical transition into motherhood – and explains why this stage of life needs the same awareness and support as menopause. Together, they discuss practical ways to protect your energy, manage your mindset, and parent with more compassion towards yourself, even on the toughest days.
If you’re a busy, burnt-out mum wondering, “Is it just me?”, this conversation will leave you feeling seen and supported.
