This week I speak to author Josh Connolly about family dysfunction.

Josh is a father of six and his book​ ​'It’s Them, Not You: How to Break Free from Toxic Parents and Reclaim Your Story' is a bestseller.

With a powerful online following and years of lived experience behind his work, he speaks openly about growing up with an alcoholic and abusive parent​.

And in the wake of recent public conversations around family estrangement, due to Brooklyn Beckham’s revelations, I wanted to explore what dysfunction in a family system actually looks like.

The roles people can fall into​, the patterns that follow on into adulthood​, and why boundaries can feel so difficult and yet are so necessary.
