A Dorset author and podcast host will speak about the impact of motherhood at a family event in Bovington this weekend.
Zoe Blaskey, who lives in Branksome Park near Poole, is the keynote speaker at the Tank Museum’s first Bumps, Babies and Toddlers event, where she will discuss how becoming a mum can affect identity, confidence and emotional wellbeing.
Drawing on interviews with more than six hundred experts and her work supporting mothers, she will explore why many women feel overwhelmed or unlike themselves in the early years, and why this experience should be understood as a shared developmental stage.
Zoe said the talk would be relevant to expectant mums and those with children up to the age of five, adding she would share practical, research based tools to help women feel more grounded and able to explain their experiences to partners and family.
The event, held in partnership with Little Pickles Markets, will include talks, question and answer sessions, a nearly new sale and activities designed for babies and toddlers, alongside workshops focusing on perinatal health.
Rosanna Dean, Director of Visitor Experience and Commercial, said the museum was pleased to host a family focused event offering guidance and support for new and growing families across Dorset.
