Summary

Welcome to Motherkind. We are proudly sponsored by Wild Nutrition Women’s supplements. I am your host, Zoe Blaskey, and this is the show that is going to grab you by the hand and be your guide through the wild ride that is modern motherhood. Every week, I bring you world-leading experts and thinkers to give us new ideas, new tools, new support, and new inspiration for our lives as mothers - we span everything from work to relationships to mental health and healing to parenting. And I am very happy you are here.   This week, as part of our September reset mini-series, we are talking all things fitness with the amazing Elizabeth Davies, aka this woman lifts.  In this powerful episode, you are going to learn why so much of the fitness content we consume has one aim: to make us feel bad, why as mothers we can’t work out like everyone else, how to set realistic goals for ourselves, how to get back into fitness and how to keep going when we have constant curveballs. Elizabeth talks about exercise in our 30s + 40s like paying into a pension pot, which will pay us back when we are strong, fit, healthy old ladies.  I loved this episode  - it’s funny, it’s real, and it’s going to help you completely reframe your fitness as a mother  Introducing Elizabeth’s latest book, Training For Your Old Lady Body: an honest, no bullsh*t guide to help women (re)frame exercise as a way of safeguarding our quality of life into older age; moving our bodies now in a way which sets us up to stay strong, active, independent and resilient as we grow older. This is not a six-week bikini body transformation, but a way of life training. Elizabeth will make the case for why we need to rewrite the narrative around women's fitness and how we can change our behaviour and form new habits. With a focus on muscle and strength and power, bone mineral density, heart health, the pelvic floor, mobility, flexibility and stability, this is a groundbreaking, urgent call-to-arms designed to get women moving with a focus on the bigger picture.
