I'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Tori Joy Geiger. Tori has experienced chronic illness from birth, and that has affected her ability to be an athlete and have outdoor adventures—but it hasn’t stopped her at all. She’s learned how to work with her body so she can have the experiences she wants, at her own pace and in her own way.
This was such a delightful conversation. Tori has done loads of mindset work and has gone on a journey of self-knowledge, and everything she has done has gotten her to a place where she can do the things she wants in a way that works for her. Whether you have a chronic illness or other life challenges, I know you’ll get something out of this episode.
About Tori
Tori is a congenital heart defect survivor and has undergone multiple open-heart surgeries and procedures throughout her life. Growing up, she was an avid athlete, participating in volleyball, basketball, and track in high school. She went on to play volleyball at Corban University and later join the track team at George Fox University as a high jumper.
With a heart for others affected by chronic illnesses such as CHD, Tori started a lifestyle blog where she shares lifestyle and chronic illness tips. Part of her mission is to have a “heart that beats for others,” and to help other chronic illness warriors achieve a life of fulfillment and impact. Tori does this through her 50/50 CHD Promise; 50% of her blogging commissions are donated to CHD organizations.
When Tori is not blogging or running her businesses, she loves traveling, cooking with her hubby, running, playing with her adorable Goldendoodle, and paddleboarding.
