Miley Cyrus is on the mend. Not for herself! Not like she’s injured or anything. But more for her family.
See, the Flowers singer went on Monica Lewinsky‘s Reclaiming podcast on Tuesday and told the host all about how she had to get creative to mend fences among her forever estranged family members.
From dad Billy Ray to mom Tish to siblings Trace, Noah, and more, Miley worked her magic to smooth things over after YEARS of fighting. Only um, Miley’s work potentially just went up in smoke in the last 24 hours. Yeahhhhh. But anyways…

So, while chatting with former President Bill Clinton‘s infamous ex-flame on the pod, the 32-year-old pop superstar explained that she was able to get everyone to sit down without the help of a therapist. She quipped:
“We’re so messy, we didn’t even do any of that. Just to get each other into a room to get to counseling would have been a war.”
That may have been a quip, but it ain’t a joke!!
The Hannah Montana alum lamented how her fam went through a “really difficult… dark decade” at each other’s throats. During the worst of it, “half of us weren’t speaking to each other at one point,” she explained to Lewinsky. And Miley personally felt like she “had a lot of loyalty” to her momma Tish immediately after her difficult divorce from the Achy Breaky Heart crooner.
In fact, it was watching the end of her parents’ difficult relationship that clued the Disney Channel alum into “what happens when you don’t clean things up as they’re happening.” Noting how quickly issues can snowball, Miley explained:
“They really do stack. And then all of the sudden you go, ‘Oh my God, it’s been 10 years and this is a mess I barely even know how to start. This is emotional hoarding.'”
And that’s also how she fixed things among her family members — by making sure they didn’t stack!
The Wrecking Ball crooner explained how she “cleaned all that up” by spending “a really important part of my year … putting those lines of communication back together” between family members. Again — no therapists, no specialists, no experts, nothing. Just inter-personal communication!! Miley recalled:
“I just kind of busted through the pile that stacked and just [went], ‘I’m here, you’re here, let’s start by having a good time together and then as we start bringing some happiness and joy into each other’s life, then we’ll be in a better place to have these conversations.'”
In the end, Miley felt like she would “rather get it balanced first” amongst the Cyrus clan themselves than pursue the specialist nature of counseling. It “was easier to [wave] a white flag” by doing it on their own like that than it would have been to go to therapy, she explained.
Hmmm…
