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. 💛 We are officially Cozy Earth obsessed.
