Zoe Blaskey Biography
I’ve spent the last 15 years diving into every personal development modality there is, and training in many. I’ve sat in cold church halls in 12-step meetings, meditated with monks at sunrise, and danced all dressed in white on an island in Sweden. I’ve reached the depths of despair and risen stronger than ever before. I’m obsessed with helping mothers realise their potential and awaken to how much personal power we have to define our experience of life.
When I became a mother I couldn’t believe how hard it was despite my hours in personal development. Motherhood put a glass on all the cracks…
I saw in technicolour the pressure I put on myself, my perfectionism, my fear of getting it wrong, how I was keeping quiet to keep the peace, and how I was losing my sense of self to what others wanted me to do. I felt lost, broken and alone.
So I did what any self-respecting millennial would do. I googled for help. I found lots of answers on why it was so hard, and lots about the best brand of gin to drink for the overwhelm, I learned what to wear as a mum, what to eat as a mum, I learned how to start a side hustle and which pram was best for the London streets.
But I didn’t need any of that, I needed help (not from influencers) but from experts.
So I turned to my transformational books, I turned to great minds who had studied motherhood, transformation and healing. It felt like starting again.
I started small, on little actions every day which built into positive habits, I set boundaries, I journaled, I threw myself into a self-compassion practice. I asked for help. I studied mindful parenting. I meditated for just 5 mins a day. I started to ferociously read about mother-child relationships and learned that we re-experience whatever happened to us at that same age. I enrolled in a year-long course with the US’s top parenting psychologist- Dr Shefali. I trained as a transformational coach with The Mindful Talent Academy.
I had found my empowered motherhood and everything changed.
Two years into this healing path as a mother and I wanted to help others. I didn’t want anyone else to do that fated google search I had and found nothing helpful. I wanted the incredible wisdom, tools and concepts I was learning to reach every mother in the world. I felt like I’d found the keys to the kingdom and I wanted to share it.
