Show Notes
From navigating visibility as a therapist talking openly about toxic family systems, to setting boundaries around social media, content creation, and emotional labor, this episode is a grounded, honest look at what it actually takes to do this work sustainably as a cycle breaker.
Torie shares why she’s recommitting to the podcast, simplifying where her energy goes, and being more intentional about how and where she shows up. She also talks candidly about burnout, backlash, self doubt, and what it means to keep choosing growth when you were conditioned to stay small.
This episode covers:
-Personal reflections from a year of growth, visibility, and boundary setting
-The emotional cost of talking publicly about narcissistic and toxic parents
-Why simplifying is a form of healing, not quitting
-Reprioritizing the podcast and stepping back from what no longer fits
-Looking ahead to 2026 with more clarity, intention, and self trust
