Hi everyone, and welcome to this special Father's Day. It's Father’s Day here in the UK on the 18th of June, and I am so excited to share this episode with you.My guest is Bodé Aboderin (AKA Papa B). He is a writer, speaker, businessman, and stay-at-home dad. His wife is the amazing Candice Brathwaite, who has also been on the podcast.Listen to hear about: What he used to believe being a man meant: earning more, not showing his feelings and having this impenetrable mask of masculinity. How hitting rock bottom led to a breakthrough of totally transforming how he sees his role as a man and a father.  This episode is incredibly powerful, and I hope it's one you will share with the men in your life. I sent it to my husband, Guy, within minutes of recording - urging him in all caps to please listen.I really hope you enjoy this father's day special episode. Special thanks to our sponsor AG1Visit https://drinkAG1.com/MOTHERKIND to get a FREE year supply of immune-supporting Vitamin D AND 5 free travel packs with your first purchase.AG1Continue the conversationCome engage with Zoe and our community over on Instagram for inspiration, tips, and sometimes a bit of humour to get us through our day - @zoeblaskeyJoin our mailing list to receive news, updates and new episode releases by clicking here.

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, a leading voice and expert on ADHD for women, who was diagnosed herself aged 40 right after the birth of her second child. We talk about:  Why there is a huge rise in ADHD diagnoses in women  What are the characteristics of ADHD for women How does ADHD intersect with Motherhood  But most importantly… I ask her whether it’s neurodivergence or the stress of carrying the mental load of motherhood.Special thanks to our sponsorAthletic GreensVisit https://athleticgreens.com/motherkind to get a FREE year supply of immune-supporting Vitamin D AND 5 free travel packs with your first purchase.Come engage with Zoe and our community over on Instagram for inspiration, tips, and sometimes a bit of humour to get us through our day - @zoeblaskeyJoin our mailing list to receive news, updates and new episode releases: https://mailchi.mp/motherkind/motherkind-mailing-list Learn more about your ad choices.

This week’s Moment is with Beth Berry. Beth is a coach, author of Motherwhelmed and mother to four daughters. She says we can’t afford to pretend to love motherhood. Not this version of it. The version that has us raising our kids alone in our homes, disconnected from one another, immersed in a culture of judgment and perfectionism under the allusion that we are the ones who can’t get our act together. I hope today's Moment inspires you this week.Come engage with Zoe and our community over on Instagram for inspiration, tips, and sometimes a bit of humour to get us through our day - @zoeblaskeyJoin our mailing list to receive news, updates and new episode releases: https://mailchi.mp/motherkind/motherkind-mailing-list Learn more about your ad choices.

Paul Morgan-Bentley, author of “The Equal Parent” and dad to his three-year-old son, he welcomed into the world via surrogacy with his husband, Robin. As a gay dad, Paul found himself in a unique position as he took on primary caregiving and felt sick of all the praise he received for doing the basics. He saw how mothers were carrying the labour of childcare and asked why parental care is so unequal in households across the country. Is it biology? Gendered stereotypes? or something else? This episode dives into that very question. Plus: what needs to change in workplaces, how fathers can reach the same levels of oxytocin as mothers and what allomothering is.Come engage with Zoe and our community over on Instagram for inspiration, tips, and sometimes a bit of humour to get us through our day - @zoeblaskeyJoin our mailing list to receive news, updates and new episode releases: https://mailchi.mp/motherkind/motherkind-mailing-list Learn more about your ad choices.
