0:00.0	Welcome to this episode of the Motherkind podcast with me, your host, Zoe Blaski.
0:12.5	We are sponsored by Stocker, and this is the show that's going to give you a new toolkit for motherhood.
0:19.2	Confidence is absolutely vital in our lives and especially in motherhood.
0:25.7	We need confidence to say no, to trust ourselves, to ask for flexible working, to have those
0:31.6	difficult mental load conversations with our partner. We need confidence to feel good
0:36.4	about ourselves. And I definitely want my girls to
0:39.8	see a confident woman. I think that's how they're going to learn confidence is from looking at me.
0:45.8	But how on earth are we supposed to develop it? There are so many different ideas about confidence,
0:52.3	so many myths, so many unhelpful things out there. So this week,
0:56.8	I have got an incredible guest. She is an absolute expert in confidence. She has just released
1:03.6	an incredible book about confidence. She shares with us in this episode an incredible story where she tragically lost her husband to cancer when her children were just one and three.
1:17.7	And we talk about how that absolute tragedy actually has helped develop her confidence.
1:25.5	And she gives us so much wisdom, inspiration and ideas about how you can too.
1:32.8	This is one of those incredible episodes where the whole time recording it, I had goosebumps

1:54.4	As you know, I am pretty obsessed with our headline sponsor, Stoker, and basically love all their products, especially the
2:03.1	TripTrap chair. You know the one, it's in a Z shape. Well, mine is now nearly eight years old,
2:08.4	and I have to tell you, it still looks like new. Well, the TripTrap is now available in a new
2:15.6	colour, oak, warm, brown. It is just gorgeous. It's giving warm,
2:20.4	cozy autumn vibes. It's also available with a matching trip trap baby set. The trip trap chair was
2:26.7	designed in 1972. How incredible is that? And it has a seven year warranty. It really is designed to grow with your family from baby all
