How Miley Cyrus and Her Family Overcame a Decade of Challenges
Miley Cyrus recently opened up about healing her family after a decade marked by tension and silence, during an appearance on Monica Lewinsky’s Reclaiming podcast—and her story is pretty moving. Check out these highlights:
🧩 Family: From “emotional hoarding” to real connection
Miley described her family’s past conflicts—stemming from her Hannah Montana fame, her parents’ 2022 divorce, and feuds among siblings—as like “emotional hoarding.” She said at one point, “half of [my] family wasn’t speaking.” (people.com)
Instead of therapy, she opted for raw, honest conversations—calling it “emotional decluttering.” Slowly, through presence and joy, they began reconnecting. (people.com)
💛 The healing process—no formal therapy
Miley didn’t pursue traditional therapy. She insisted instead on in-person reconnection, bringing happiness and love first, then resolving deeper issues later. (people.com)
She likened forgiveness and openness to clearing out long-suppressed emotions—helping make those hard conversations easier. (pagesix.com)
🎙️ What changed—today’s family reality
Now, Miley says her bond with both Tish and Billy Ray is strong, and she’s close again with all five siblings. Family is her top priority. (people.com)
This reconnection inspired her upcoming work—particularly a track called “Secrets,” which explores silence and truth within the family. (people.com)
🌟 Why this matters
It shows how direct, heartfelt communication can facilitate healing—even in celebrity families with very public tensions.
Miley’s choice to share her journey adds emotional depth to her upcoming album, Something Beautiful, especially with themes around transparency and healing.
