MOMENT | Do you have a dysfunctional family? with Julia Samuel MBE

Motherkind Moment is your place for calm and connection and a shift in perspective before the week ahead. 

This week’s Moment is with Julia Samuel. In this conversation, we discuss a subject that’s often difficult to talk about: what happens when our family is dysfunctional. 

We cover how to recognise if we’re operating in that environment. And how do we know when it’s time to set boundaries, or even take the painful step of cutting contact altogether?

Julia shares her perspective on what truly defines a dysfunctional family, the emotional toll it can take, and the complexity of navigating those relationships. She reminds us that there’s no simple formula, every situation is unique, but that protecting our emotional and mental well-being sometimes means making tough, heartbreaking choices.
