Legacy is not just something we leave behind—it is something we build every day through our stories, values, relationships, traditions, and the way we show up for one another.

In this episode, Athena and Mims reflect on the legacies that shaped them, from the strength of abuelas to the family stories, cultural traditions, faith, food, and lessons that continue to ground them. Inspired by themes from Encanto and Coco, they explore how each family member adds their own thread to the legacy being created.

They also share why they are inviting their kids into the conversation next—to hear what legacy looks and feels like through their eyes.

Torn Thought: Legacy starts at home. It lives in the stories we tell, the values we model, and the memories we intentionally create.


In This Episode:

✨ The values and traditions we inherit

✨ How family stories shape identity

✨ Honoring those who came before us

✨ Helping kids recognize the legacy they carry

✨ Creating memories through photos, stories, scrapbooks, and shared experiences

✨ Why every family member’s “thread” matters


Torn Tribe Reflection: What story, value, or tradition do you hope your children carry forward?
