How To Find A Career You Genuinely Love (That Works Around Your Children)
In this honest and reassuring solo episode, Zoe Blaskey speaks directly to the mother who feels stuck, restless, or ready for something different.
After becoming a mother, Zoe completely changed careers — leaving her previous path, building Motherkind, retraining as a transformational coach, and becoming an author. In this episode, she shares the practical framework that helped her move from confusion to clarity.
Because wanting to change careers after children isn’t selfish. It’s normal.
Nearly half of mothers say they want to change jobs after having children — because motherhood shifts your priorities, your time, your identity and your definition of success.
In this episode, Zoe shares the tools that helped her find direction:
Why following your energy is more powerful than “following your passion”
How to redefine success for this season of life
The powerful “dream day” exercise to create clarity
Why you’re not starting from scratch (and nothing is wasted)
How tiny career experiments bring clarity faster than overthinking
This episode isn’t about quitting your job tomorrow.
It’s not about blowing up your life.
It’s about taking small, aligned steps toward work that fits who you are now.
Zoe explains why clarity doesn’t come from thinking harder — it comes from taking action. From running small experiments. From testing ideas before committing to them, allowing change to happen gradually, in parallel with family life.
If you’ve been asking yourself:
Should I change careers after having a baby?
How do I find purpose in motherhood?
What work fits around family life?
How do I figure out what I actually want?
This episode will leave you feeling calmer, clearer and more capable.
Because you are not behind.
You are not stuck.
You are evolving.
And it’s allowed to look different now.
