In this episode of the Tudor Dixon podcast, Tudor is joined by Bethany Mandel for a thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation sparked by the reported estrangement between Brooklyn Beckham and his parents, David and Victoria Beckham. Using the high-profile family dynamic as a starting point, they explore the growing trend of family estrangement, the influence of social media on parenting and adult children, and the intense cultural pressures placed on mothers today.

Tudor and Bethany dig into timeless tensions between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, generational shifts in family expectations, and how modern culture often reframes conflict as “boundaries.” The discussion also highlights the joys and challenges of parenting, the importance of grace and communication within families, and why rebuilding strong family relationships matters more than ever in today’s fractured society.
