About this episode
In this episode of Parents Who Think, Danusia Malina-Derben sits down with Zoe Blaskey to explore what it really takes to stay connected to yourself when everyone else seems to come first.
Zoe, founder and author of Motherkind and mother of two talks openly about the difference between performing wellness and actually tending to yourself. Together, she and Danusia unpack how easy it is to get lost in parenting, why journaling can be a lifeline (not a luxury), and the micro-practices that help keep self-worth on the radar. There's no preachy perfection here, just two women naming the quiet crisis of mothering without tending to the mother.
This conversation is a gentle gut-punch for anyone who's been last on their own list for too long. If you've ever needed permission to prioritise yourself, you've just found it.
