About this listen

"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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"Beautifully, skilfully and gently challenging the mother we feel we should be, to make space for both the mother we actually are and to allow us to grow into the one we realistically can be.” Anna Mather

"This book is a wonderful and insightful guide and toolkit every mother needs to find her happy, joyful motherhood" Dr Shefali

"“Zoe has created a movement for mothers who refuse to get stuck in the guilt, perfectionism and pressure of modern motherhood. This book is the guide every mother needs in her hands.” Emma Reed Turrell

"It is the motherhood guide every modern mother needs – I just wish it existed sooner” Helen Glover

"Reading this book will make you a happier, more confident mother. Zoe is both the expert and wise friend we all need” Julia Samuel

“Motherkind is a book every Mother should read, it’s a breath of fresh air in a world full of judgment and pressure. If you've ever felt guilty, not good enough or overwhelmed – this book will be your lifeline” Millie Mackintosh

"Motherkind is the book we all need right now and the book that will continue to guide us in years to come” Zoe Williams

"Zoe is incredible. I have learnt so much from listening to her podcast, I'm a huge fan! This book is such a wonderful resource for ANY parent, to help them understand why parenting is so hard. This book offers us confidence and reassurance that we AREN'T doing anything wrong and helps us truly understand ourselves after having a baby – something I've struggled with for a few years. Personally I feel like all mothers, parents, carers and mothers-to-be should have a copy of this book and should be taught the word – Matrescence. Thank you for introducing it to me, Zoe” Charlotte Stirling Reed

I loved every chapter of this book, it just made utter sense whilst helping me be kind to myself and recognise what an amazing job being a mum is. The practical tips are really useful and I’ve already recommended it to lots of mum friends :)

Fantastic book, practical and kind

I love Zoe’s podcast but this book is everything I’ve been needing. Amazing for new mums or any mum really! Reassuring, empowering and kind.

I loved it so much, it’s full of compassion, love and growth. Lots of great minds referenced and practical advice. I’d love to have been able to read it in early motherhood and forever grateful I got to read it now.

The motherhood guidebook you’ll want to read :)

As a grandmother and mother I found this so interesting and helpful in so many ways. A necessary book for all parents, not just mothers.

An absolutely fantastic book on motherhood that everyone should read. I loved the themes covered in the book and the kindness and compassion pouring from it. Scattered through each chapter are anecdotes, musings and things to add to your 'toolkit' which were great too. I've already gifted this to one friend and will be recommending it widely to others. The only thing that let it down was the most irritating narration that I've ever had to listen to, never heard someone say EVERYYYYYY so much in my life (incredibly difficult to ignore once you've noticed it!)

A must read for all mothers

I loved how reassuring this whole book was. It was full of so much goodness and ideas and support. Every mother or mum to be should listen to this.

The chapter on pressure, with its reference to Marie Kondo, really hit home for me. I used to feel constant pressure to make my house look like a show home, and this perspective was so refreshing. I also loved the chapter on boundaries and balance—it was incredibly insightful. The book is beautifully structured and packed with wisdom that resonated deeply, making me feel seen and understood in ways I hadn’t before.

Everything 🤍

This was so helpful I plan to listen again and have now bought the book! I will need to make notes and do some of the exercises. I have had therapy and you mirror so much of what I have been learning. The issues raised in the book certainly make me feel less alone and strange! A big thank you for creating this tool to help so many of us.

Thank you!
