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.

Customer Reviews
Counsellor Recommends
A counsellor friend of mine put me on to this podcast (I am also a counsellor), and I love it! CW is so lovely, gentle and welcoming to the guests and TB is also such a credit to the profession. I have recommended specific podcasts to my own clients who may be struggling with a related issue. It is also so helpful to listen in on other counselling to keep learning. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to better understand the human condition.
Highly recommend!
Many of my friends have recommended this Podcast to me. I am now hooked. I am a former headteacher now supporting children to find their success, happiness, self love and to balance their emotions. There is a lot here that helps in all walks of life!
Wonderful soothing
I cannot explain how much I enjoy these podcasts.
I feel like I can identify with each person you speak to in some way.
You both have such a gentle and real approach to some big issues, and unravel some really complex stuff.
Thank you so much both of you for making such a difference in people’s lives
