She said what most moms are too afraid to admit out loud.

Not every mom enjoys pregnancy.

Not every mom feels connected right away.

And nobody talks about what that actually does to you.

Tia sits down with Kendall a mom who refuses to sugarcoat her experience, from childhood self-doubt to postpartum struggles and the emotional reality of motherhood most people keep hidden.

In this episode:

• ​growing up feeling “different” and learning to people-please
• ​not enjoying pregnancy and feeling guilt for it
• ​postpartum struggles no one prepares you for
• ​trying to bond while feeling disconnected
• ​breaking cycles instead of repeating them
• ​teaching kids emotional awareness early

She introduces “the cloud” a powerful way to communicate emotional overwhelm without shame.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, disconnected, or like you had to pretend motherhood feels better than it does…

This episode is going to hit.

This episode of the Torch Mom Podcast is a powerful conversation about motherhood, identity, healing, and raising confident children in a world that often silences them.

Tia sits down with Leah, a mother of four, educator, and founder of the Society of Child Entrepreneurs, to unpack her journey from a challenging childhood to building a life centered around empowering kids to lead, speak, and create right now.

Leah opens up about growing up feeling unwanted, navigating motherhood with CPTSD, and learning how to break generational cycles while raising children who are confident, heard, and unafraid to take up space.

She also shares her experience with hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe pregnancy condition that nearly cost her life, and what it took to go through it not once but four times.

In this episode, we talk about:

• ​growing up without emotional safety and how it shapes motherhood
• ​breaking generational cycles and ending victim mentality
• ​raising confident kids who use their voice early
• ​hyperemesis gravidarum (extreme pregnancy sickness)
• ​balancing motherhood and building something meaningful
• ​why children are leaders now, not just the future
• ​how to give kids real responsibility and build confidence
• ​the truth about parenting, identity, and healing

This conversation will challenge the way you see motherhood, parenting, and what’s truly possible for your children.

If you’re a mom learning to unlearn, relearn, and raise your kids differently, this episode is for you.

Season 6 of the Torch Mom Podcast starts with a powerful and deeply honest conversation about motherhood, grief, healing, and finding purpose after unimaginable loss.

In this episode, Tia sits down with Shruti Trivedi, founder of Tulsi Heals Life Coaching, to talk about the parts of motherhood that are rarely discussed out loud, pregnancy loss, silent grief, mom guilt, and the journey back to yourself.

Shruti shares her heartbreaking story of losing pregnancies, delivering twin boys who lived for only two hours, and the emotional weight of being told to “move on.” Instead of burying the pain, she eventually found healing through therapy and transformed her experience into a mission to support other grieving mothers.

What’s something society tells moms to “just move on” from?

Together, we explore:

• ​coping with miscarriage and pregnancy loss
• ​the emotional reality of grief in motherhood
• ​the stigma around therapy and mental health
• ​mom guilt and the pressure to be a “perfect mother”
• ​breaking generational cycles for our children
• ​why healing doesn’t mean forgetting

This episode is raw, vulnerable, and full of powerful reminders for mothers who feel alone in their struggles.

If you're a mom navigating grief, burnout, identity shifts, or simply trying to keep your light burning through difficult seasons, this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone.

Season 6 is officially here and we’re going deeper than ever.
