About this episode

This week's episode is all about family dynamics - specifically if you have a family member whose behaviour you struggle with. Our guest is Harriet Shearsmith, family dynamic's coach and author of 'Unfollowing Mum: Break unhealthy patterns and become the parent you wish you'd had'. In this powerful episode, Harriet shares her story of how she had an unhealthy relationship with her own mum, and how this has developed in her a desire to support anyone navigating a tricky family relationship. She talks about the signs of an unhealthy relationship, what to do next, how to deal with pushback, and how to find peace with the difficult people in your life. If this episode resonates, we think you'll find so much value in our episode on toxic parents with Josh Connelly.
