From Late Diagnosis to Lifelong Resilience: Tori’s Cystic Fibrosis Journey, Motherhood & Finding Strength Through Chronic Illness

Season 2 Episode 18 Published 9 months, 3 weeks ago

Description

In this powerful episode, we’re joined by Tori (@toritriesit on TikTok), whose medical journey began before she was even born…and who wasn’t diagnosed with cystic fibrosis until her twenties. Tori shares what it was like growing up sick without answers, finally receiving a life-changing diagnosis, and navigating chronic illness while raising two children with their own medical challenges.

You may also recognize Tori from The Weakest Link, The Perfect Line (which she won!), and The Drew Barrymore Show…moments that reflect her humor, strength, and resilience.

This conversation is for anyone navigating:

• chronic illness

• late or missed diagnosis

• medical gaslighting

• motherhood and caregiving

• feeling overwhelmed, dismissed, or alone in their health journey

Tori’s story is a reminder that showing up, even when it’s hard, is its own kind of courage. 💛
