Body Confidence, Dance & Single Motherhood ft. Takkies | The Goodmother Series Ep. 9

What happens when motherhood changes your body, your home, your relationships and your sense of self?In this episode of The Goodmother Series, host Ezinne Asinugo-Onyeka sits down with Takkies, South African dance queen, women’s wellness advocate and founder of Rockingnheels, a movement empowering women to reconnect with their bodies through dance.Takkies shares her raw birth stories across South Africa and the UK, the shock and tenderness of body change after birth, moving countries while pregnant, navigating single motherhood, dating again with daughters watching, and raising body confident girls in a world that often teaches women to criticise themselves first.This is a warm, honest and deeply embodied conversation about maternal identity, African motherhood stories, body confidence after motherhood, dance as healing, and the joy of becoming yourself again without needing to return to who you were before.Guest links:InstagramYouTubeThe Goodmother Series | The Unspoken TruthA modern motherhood podcast documenting how becoming a parent reshapes identity, body, and cultural belonging across the African diaspora.Hosted by Ezinne, this series centres on lived experience over advice.
