Hello, it's me, your host Zoe Blaski, and welcome back to Motherkind, the show that is here to support you in motherhood.

You know, I've only ever had one goal with this show, and that is to help you have a happier motherhood.

That was my mission when I started six years ago,

and it is still my mission today. This week, I am welcomed by fellow podcaster and mum of two,

Millie McIntosh. I loved this chat with Millie. I think you're going to be surprised about

how honest she is, and she reveals things that she has

never spoken about before in her experiences of motherhood. We talk about how stopping drinking has

changed her life completely, what her metressants was like and why she feels like a completely

different person. We talk about the mental load and how she's working on

her perfectionism. So many good ideas and insights in this chat. I really hope you love it.

If you do, please leave a review and don't forget to hit that subscribe button. It does make a

massive difference. Here it is. This episode is sponsored by Coru Kids. After-school child care can be

so tricky, can't it? It's hard to find and usually means long days for little ones at school.

Well, Coru Kids is changing that with flexible part-time nannies that can work just the hours you need. Their nannies are from a

variety of backgrounds, students, artists and writers, but they all have one thing in common, which is a

passion for working with children. Corrie Kids take care of the vetting, references and employment

checks. In fact, less than 5% of applicants

actually go on to join the platform. And these nannies aren't fuddy-duddy, Mary Poppin types.

They are the perfect solution to your busy family life. They let tired kids come home, eat a

home-cooked meal, get homework done and enjoy activities and fun,

bringing joy to their afternoons and calm to your evenings. We all need a bit of that,

don't we? For a limited time, our listeners can trial a nanny for free. Yes, free. Worth over
