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.

1Welcome to the first new Motherkind episode of 2025! It's time to enjoy the blank sheet of the new year and think ahead to what this year can bring. But it's also good to step away from two things: setting resolutions and the 'new year new you' messaging. In this episode, Zoe shows us why this mindset doesn't work and instead breaks down the best ways to set goals so that we can become happier, more fulfilled and bursting with self-belief to achieve whatever we want to in 2025.
Sign up here to Zoe's course on achieving your goals in 2025 without the overwhelm - going live on Thursday January 16th at 1pm.

Motherkind Moment is your place for calm and connection and a shift in perspective before the week ahead.
This week’s moment is with Philippa Perry who many of you know and love. She wrote that incredible book - The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read
This clip is so powerful. In it, she shares the truth about feelings, especially anger, and why it is vital for us parents to be able to feel our own feelings so then we can help our children do it.
As we often talk about on the podcast, being able to connect to our feelings and help our children do that is the foundation for emotional health which we know is a massive indicator of how happy we are in our lives.

In December, we take a break from recording new episodes and re-release the most loved episodes from the year. So if you haven't listened to this episode before, enjoy - and if you have, enjoy again.
Today's episode is a special one because it was recorded live, in front of an audience, at Fearne Cotton's Happy Place Festival - and it was amazing to record a podcast there. Our guest was the incredible Anna Mathur, psychotherapist and best-selling author. We chatted about her new book, 'The Uncomfortable Truth. This is a must-listen if you're someone who has a tendency towards anxiety, if you're a people pleaser, or you find it hard to find perspective in the busyness of life.

This week we are talking about family dynamics. Is it possible to have a drama-free Christmas.
Family dynamics can get so tricky at Christmas. Your family know how to push your buttons because they put them there. If you find it triggering and hard, perhaps it is because of what has been set up by our caregivers and the people around us in our early years. Throw in alcohol and high expectations, it isn’t surprising we get triggered over Christmas.
I really want to help you today with some tips and ideas for how you might have a more peaceful family dynamic, how not to get triggered and how to enjoy time together.

oh wow. listening to this has given me confidence, yes! I was also surprised by his answer to your situation, I thought the advice was to reflect the emotion but not allow the behaviour (the hitting). so so interesting. a difficult one to put into practice though? what have others said?
Really disappointing episode. Very judgement guest, very unhelpful to new mums struggling..! May try some other episodes and see if this was a one off.
Very insightful and will be listening again as so much to take in!! ❤️
amazing. his passion alone has convinced me to get this book!
I did not enjoy this first episode. I am going to stick through for episode 2 but so far not impressed.
Wow what an episode! I have just found this podcast and chose this one to listen to first and found it really moved me. So much to take away from it that I am going to re-listen and make some notes! Carolyn is amazing! Have you arranged another episode with her? Sarah
this was thoroughly depressing.
Fabulous interview, it's really given me a lot to think about, what an amazing woman.
this podcast has really helped me today! thank you for such amazing content!
Brilliant podcasts ♡
Loved this. ...quieten down the noise and listen to what you need ... fantastic first listen for me to this channel
