“Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage.”
— Brené Brown
For years, I felt invisible in my own body. I hid in baggy clothes, avoided bright colors, and convinced myself that nobody needed to see me. I know what it feels like to live at both ends of the spectrum. I grew up carrying extra weight, then pushed myself to the fittest body of my life, with visible abs and everything I thought I wanted. But it came from an unhealthy, all-or-nothing mindset. That approach wasn’t sustainable and it eventually led me to gain over 60 pounds and feel more insecure than ever. Both experiences taught me lessons that shaped the way I approach transformation today.
My turning point came when I stopped chasing quick fixes and created a plan that truly worked for my lifestyle. Not only did I lose the weight, but I finally built habits I could stick with for good. I drew on lessons from the times I’d been fit, keeping what truly worked, and leaving behind strategies that didn’t.
Coaching by Tori was born from that journey. I help others discover their version of confidence, guiding them toward transformation that’s visible, empowering, and completely authentic.
