Have you ever found yourself saying to your child, "You're OK, don't cry," whilst knowing you mean well, but feeling like something deeper is happening?This week's Moment explores a powerful idea: we can only hold our children's emotions to the extent that we can hold our own. So many of us grew up believing resilience meant pushing through, staying strong and keeping it together. But what if real resilience is actually the opposite?In this conversation, Zoe and Dr Alex George explore the emotional patterns we inherit, why so many of us struggle to sit with difficult feelings, and how learning to hold our own emotions changes the way we parent. There's a moment where Zoe shares a huge realisation: the reason she struggled with her children's big feelings wasn't because of them - it was because no one had ever taught her how to handle her own.If you've ever felt uncomfortable with your child's tears, frustration or meltdowns, this episode might help explain why.

Williams is a professor of history at Monmouth University and Vercher is the author of three notable novels and currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of English at Monmouth University. Vercher's works signal the tradition of Afro-Surrealism that began in the Harlem Renaissance with writers such as George Schuyler as represented with his work Black No More originally published in 1931. His debut novel Three-Fifths was listed as one of the best books of 2019 by the Chicago, nominated for the 2020 Edgar Award for Best First Novel, and The Strand Critics Award for Best Debut Novel. This book also received critical acclaim abroad and named Book of the Year by the U.K.'s The Sunday Times, The Financial Times, and The Guardian. Devil is Fine is Vercher's third novel and it is a moving work that helps to extend the tradition of Afro-surrealism in the context of contemporary American fiction. It is a book about love, loss, grief, and fathers and sons. Vercher's book can be ordered from Amazon here: Devil is Fine#JohnVercher #DevilisFine #BlackFiction #Writing #Writers

You're not failing. Your nervous system is overwhelmed, and there's a reason why.If you've been snapping, overthinking, lying awake at night, or feeling strangely disconnected from your own life, this episode will help you understand why.Because it's not a mindset problem. It's your nervous system.In this solo, Zoe goes deeper than typical “nervous system” advice to explore what's really driving overwhelm in motherhood and why so many of us feel stuck in survival mode, even when nothing is “wrong”.This is about understanding the root, not just managing the symptoms.

In this episode of The Feminine Frequency Podcast, host Amy Natalie sits down with powerhouse entrepreneur and author Suzy Ashworth to explore the deep energetics behind her book, Infinite Receiving. Moving away from the traditional, untouchable "guru" archetype, Suzy brings a raw, lived-experience approach to manifestation, wealth creation, and identity evolution. Together, they unpack what it truly means to receive infinitely—not just during seasons of ease, but when life cracks us open through grief, shadow, and heavy human contrast. From the cellular shift required to hold seven-figure wealth to the sacred unlearning of tying self-worth to external validation, this conversation is a powerful activation for any woman ready to open her heart, break ancestral chains, and step into her sovereign power.Themes:Why true wealth requires an internal identity shift before the physical money ever hits your bank account, moving you out of "hoping and wishing" and into absolute cellular knowing.Why Infinite Receiving resonates so deeply with readers, noting that the collective is craving grounded, real-life human journeys rather than detached, otherworldly teachings.An intimate look at how facing deep grief and shadow expands our capacity to feel, shattering the "cages" we build around our hearts and forcing us to learn how to receive support.Embracing the bold expansion of believing you belong in every single room you stand in, and how breaking down internal barriers accelerates your alignment with high-frequency spaces.Understanding the dense energetics of physical reality and learning to let go of the anxious timeline-tracking that keeps you trapped in a frequency of lack.A beautiful reminder of our intrinsic, priceless nature, offering an invitation to unlearn the childhood conditioning that tells us we must perform or achieve to be worthy of love.How the modern women doing this deep energetic and financial work act as ancestral "chain breakers," shifting the consciousness of past and future generations.SPECIAL OFFER:

Returning to work after having a baby isn't just a practical transition - for many mothers, it can feel like returning as a completely different person.You expected to feel rusty.

What happens when the dream career opportunity arrives… just as motherhood asks more of you than ever before?In this deeply honest conversation, Zoe sits down with Amy, CEO of Steven Bartlett Private Office, to talk about the impossible equation so many ambitious mothers are trying to solve. From taking a huge new role whilst pregnant, to the tension between career ambition and wanting to be the primary attachment figure for your children, this episode is an incredibly raw exploration of modern motherhood, identity and work.Amy shares the internal conflict so many mothers carry but rarely say out loud: that sometimes we don't just work for our children, we work because part of us still deeply wants ambition, creativity, challenge and growth too.This is an episode about intuition, guilt, love, matrescence and learning to live inside the contradictions of motherhood.

What if the reason you feel like you're failing… isn't you?In this powerful conversation, Zoe sits down with Vanessa Kingori OBE - former Publishing Director of British Vogue, Chief Business Officer at Condé Nast Britain, and one of the most influential women in global media.Vanessa made history as the first woman to lead the commercial side of British Vogue in its 100+ year history, after already breaking boundaries as the first female publisher of GQ. She's worked at the very top of global brands, including Condé Nast and Google, and is known for driving significant commercial growth while reshaping workplace culture.But alongside all of that, she's also a mother.Vanessa shares the truth so many women feel but rarely say out loud: that motherhood is harder than we expected, not because we're doing it wrong, but because the system around us isn't built to support us.From taking on one of the biggest jobs in media whilst trying for a baby to challenging outdated workplace norms around motherhood, this is a conversation about rewriting the rules for ourselves and the next generation.This episode will leave you feeling seen, validated, and more confident in the way you're navigating both work and motherhood.

Why does resentment feel so universal in motherhood - even in the strongest relationships? In this conversation, Zoe sits down with relationship expert, Dr Morgan Cutlip, to unpack the quiet, creeping dynamic so many mothers experience: the feeling that your life has completely changed and your partner's hasn't. This episode is a powerful reframe. It will help you understand where resentment actually comes from (it's not what you think), why it often begins in the earliest days of motherhood, and how invisible patterns like “mental load”, “precedents”, and the myth of maternal instinct are shaping your relationship without you even realising. If you've ever thought, “Why am I the only one carrying this?” - this conversation will give you language, clarity, and a way forward.

Admit it, you've complained about at least one other generation. Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z—somehow, they all end up with reputations built around what's wrong with them. Dr. Eliza Filby has a different suggestion: stop asking what's wrong with them. And start questioning what world they were handed. Eliza is a contemporary historian, generations expert, and the author of Sunday Times bestseller: Inheritocracy. And with more generations in the workplace than at any point in history, she is precisely the person we need to show us a new way to win… together.  In this conversation, Eliza makes connections about how generational change is reshaping work, wealth, and modern life that I'd never thought to connect. She might just change how you see the world (and people) around you. In this episode you'll learn: ➡️ Why calling Gen Z "entitled" is the wrong diagnosis (and what's really driving the behavior leaders complain about most)  ➡️ How retirement planning and eldercare became the new midlife crisis ➡️ How the economy changed after 2008 + quietly rewrote the rulebook for every generation that followed  ➡️ Why belonging is becoming increasingly rare (even though we need it) ➡️ Why Millennials + Gen Z are more likely become homeowners by being loyal to their parents than by being loyal to their jobs ➡️ 3 things no AI will replace in the workplace… ➡️ What's driving hyper-individualism + how do we fix it We all may have strong opinions about one another, but it's time to focus on building greater understanding.
