🎙️ Episode 162: Back to Our Roots – Parenting Without the Mask

After a long summer pause, Athena and Mims return to the mic to revisit why they started Torn in the first place—creating a safe, judgment-free space to talk about the messy, beautiful truth of parenting.

From unfiltered confessions to the surprising loneliness that can come with motherhood, they explore:

Unfiltered Motherhood — Why your honest feelings about parenting might make people uncomfortable (and why that’s okay).

The Pendulum Swing — From euphoric highs to deep lows, and how those shifts impact relationships, routines, and self-image.

The Loneliness Factor — How parenting can feel isolating, even when you’re never “alone.”

Judgment in Disguise — Why criticism often comes dressed as “advice” and how to protect your peace.

Reflections & Resets — Building regular check-in rhythms (quarterly, seasonally, or around life milestones) to measure growth and stay intentional.

💡 Torn Thought: Parenting is a journey—your kids aren’t the only ones growing.
