Who Am I Now? Why Motherhood Leaves So Many Women Feeling Lost

Becoming a mum can be one of the most meaningful experiences in life—but it can also leave you wondering, who am I now? 

In this episode, I’m joined by Zoe Blaski, founder of Motherkind, transformational coach, and Sunday Times bestselling author. We have a really honest conversation about the identity shift that comes with motherhood—and why so many women feel lost, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves in the process. 

Zoe introduces the concept of matrescence—the emotional, physical, and psychological transition into motherhood—and explains why it can feel so intense (and why that’s completely normal). We talk about mum guilt, the pressure to “do it all,” changes in relationships and careers, and the quiet confidence struggles that so many women face but don’t always talk about. 

This episode is a reassuring reminder that you’re not broken—you’re evolving. And that feeling lost is often part of finding your way again.
