The Motherkind Podcast

Welcome to the motherkind podcast, which is going to help you feel more confident and less alone in the wild roller coaster that is modern motherhood. My guest this week is Georgie Crawford. Georgie was just at the end of her maternity leave when she first discovered a lump in her breast and what followed was a roller coaster journey of self-discovery. Georgie says that for the first time in her life, she learned how to value herself and her needs. Thankfully she fully recovered and is now about to become a mother again post-cancer, this time with a surrogate. Listen to learn: The mindset shift that helped Georgie finally learn to accept and ask for help How her garden trees made her realise she was wrong about herself  How to ask yourself 'Am I on the dancefloor or the balcony' of life  How to finally stop beating yourself up and notice all that is good in your life  I really loved this episode and loved chatting to Georgie, she gave me SO much perspective and plugged me right back into what is really important in life.

She is an investigative journalist, award-winning author and has just written a new book called Matrescence.Matresence is one of my favourite words and subjects ever. It describes the process of becoming a mother - the confusing discombobulating cocktail of emotions that happens when we transition from woman to mother.

Welcome back to Motherkind Moment. Moment is your place on a Monday for calm and connection and maybe even a shift in perspective before the week ahead.In this episode, I talk to Dr Samantha Hiew, who is a leading voice and expert on ADHD for women, and who was diagnosed herself aged 40 right after the birth of her second child. So many of our Motherkind community are being diagnosed with ADHD, wondering if they have ADHD or may be curious about it. I asked Dr Samantha Hiew how does ADHD intersect with motherhood and whether it’s neurodivergence or the stress of carrying the mental load of motherhood.As always, we continue the conversation over on Instagram, so come and join us there.
