Most listened to episode in 2025: How to break unhealthy patterns and become the parent you wish you'd had - with Harriet Shearsmith


Listen Later

The Motherkind team will be taking a short break this August to enjoy some time off over the summer.

Over the next four weeks, we’ll be re-releasing some of the most downloaded episodes in 2025 - Enjoy!

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 dynamics 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 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 Connolly.
