Robyn Donaldson is an award-winning interior designer, writer and social media influencer. In today’s episode, Robyn opens up about her experiences with family estrangement - specifically from her mother because of the unhealthy and unhappy relationship they had growing up. In this candid conversation, Robyn shares a very unfiltered picture of her estranged reality, and how she came to cut ties with her mother completely. But she also talks of the love for her grandmother, who took on a maternal figure role in her life and the deeply upsetting impact of her loss when Robyn was in her twenties. Kate and Robyn cover many topics, including loss of loved ones, abuse, and substance abuse to a degree too so if you are sensitive to these topics then please be kind to yourself.
