Health is not a destination but really the most incredible
relationship that you'll ever be in, in your entire life.
When I am able to sit with somebody
who's going through something,
and inspire them that there is a path to vitality,
that makes my heart sing.
When I was 21, I became the youngest woman to row across
the Atlantic ocean.
I really just honestly wanted to know what I was capable of.
We didn't really know what we were doing.
We just did what we needed to do to get it done.
I learned a lot about myself in this process
and this was a life lesson that came at a very, very high cost.
When I was on land, I had this internal voice that was like,
something doesn't feel right. I just didn't look well
and I started to get lumps in my left-hand breast.
At age 23, I was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer.
Like, how can I row an ocean and then be defeated by my body?
This experience, it literally pivoted my entire life.
I went to school for holistic nutrition. I traveled the world.
I was on a quest to understand the pathology of my body
and the distance between disease and illness.
For me really to experience wellness again was five years.
I was hugely motivated through illness and what I wanted to
inspire was people not having to walk that path.
I founded my company Nectar Juicery.
Nectar ultimately is a manifestation of my values
and my lessons learned during this period of healing.
We're helping people understand that food is medicine
and starting a conversation with your body.
My magic ingredient has been curiosity.
The curiosity to continue to discover my own wellness,
the curiosity to lean into the things that scare me.
Fear is a good thing. It saved my life many times but
I don't allow it to be the decision maker.
It's just there to say, Tori pay attention.
I've built a life that is aligned with my values
that allows me to express my creativity
where I get to really do what I want to do.
My fuel comes from passion and I'm on a mission.
