In this new original series from Somethin' Else, Claudia Winkleman and Professor Tanya Byron identify struggles faced by real-life parents and family members by inviting them in and hearing their story, in a one-time unscripted session with a real person. Claudia listens in to the conversation to discover how Tanya begins to unlock the story behind the issue and help find solutions.
With topics ranging from parental estrangement, gender identity, domestic violence, trauma, inheriting mental health issues, family dynamics after cancer and raising a severely disabled daughter, How Did We Get Here? is a passionate, insightful and moving experience with clear outcomes to each episode.
This podcast doesn’t tell people how to raise their children, or reconnect with family members, rather it helps people understand why, as perfectly competent adults, they can’t put into practice what they know they should do.
Each episode passes on useful links and contacts which listeners can find in the programme notes.
This is a Somethin' Else production.

Claudia Winkleman on the joy of imperfection - How to Fail with Elizabeth Day
Claudia Winkleman is a broadcaster who feels like your best friend - whether she's co-hosting Strictly Come Dancing, fronting her Saturday morning BBC Radio 2 show or sending shivers down your spine as the presenter of The Traitors. And now, for our season finale, she joins How to Fail to talk about her hatred of perfect, her distaste for exercise, her introversion and her failure to live in the present. Plus: struggles with sleep, the invaluable lessons her parents' taught her and why Rembrandt (as seen with minus 15 eyesight) might be her forever style icon.
How to Fail is an Elizabeth Day and Sony Music Entertainment Production.

Customer Reviews
Great Pod cast
I binged listened to the whole 3
Seasons what a wonderful Show.
Please do more
This is just the best podcast with such helpful information on so many ways we can all find peace and joy in our lives. I love the warmth and care - with little touches pf humour. Thanks, ladies. You are both a breath of fresh, insightful air.
Brilliant Insightful & Hope Inspiring!
Please do more seasons🙏🏽! I discovered the podcast just after returning to Melbourne in March last year from the UK, at the very beginning of the pandemic, so at a very stressful period. Looking back & forwards at this time of insecurity and fear of the future I have found this podcast really comforting… it will make every listener feel that they are not alone, it inspires true empathy and hope in dark times especially from the point that Tanya & Claude both make in each episode: that nothing is truly broken and that deep down we all have the innate ability to heal from all sorts of traumas we just need a bit of help from time to time… keep up this excellent work girls! ❤️ Helen ( still in lockdown in Melbourne Australia)
