"'I just lost myself'" Kate Ferdinand on finding her way in motherhood

Recorded live at The Baby Show with Lidl GB. The Baby Show is the UK's largest and most popular pregnancy, baby and parenting event where Motherkind was the official podcast sponsor. I was lucky enough to sit down on stage with a packed audience to speak with Kate Ferdinand. She is mum to Cree and step-mum to Rio Ferdinand’s 3 children. She is also the author of How to build a family out on the 11th of May and the children’s book The family tree out on the 8th of June. I highly recommend her podcast Blended. In this live episode, we talk about: Her pregnancy Building a blended family How she lost herself in motherhood What advice she wishes she had How she’s learned to be kinder to herself in motherhood SPECIAL THANKS TO THIS WEEK’S SPONSORS My sponsor this week is Athletic Greens. I love AG1. I take it every morning when I’m making the girls breakfast. AG1 has over 7k 5* reviews and I can see why. It’s a supplement with 75 ingredients and its special blend is designed to support gut health, nervous and immune system, energy, recovery, focus and even aging. It’s one of my non-negotiables. It tastes quite nice and while I’m drinking it I’m reminding myself I’m worth looking after and that I can only be the mother and person I want to be in the world when I look after myself.
