The Motherkind Podcast How to love your imperfect family with Julia Samuel MBE
I have a special episode for you this week. This week features the incredible and poignant Julia Samuel MBE. She is a psychotherapist and author of several books, such as 'This too shall pass' and her recent book 'Every family has a story.'
She asks some brilliant questions:
- What is it that enables some families to thrive when others fragment?
- What predicts a family breakdown?
- What makes a family functional or dysfunctional?
- Why do our families drive us so mad?
- Why is there no such thing as the perfect family?
I think families are one of the most important, complex, joyful, infuriating, loving, and confusing things in the world.
I learned so much from this episode and I know you will too.
Please share it with your mum-friends who you feel should hear this. Be that person empowering, uplifting and inspiring other people and help me to do that. Let’s keep sharing this wisdom and get more and more of these messages out to the people who need it.
As always, we continue the conversation over on Instagram, so come and join us there.
