In this episode, we’re blending the “Fueled Girl Fall” mindset with all things Gilmore Girls. Think Luke’s apple cider donuts as soul-fuel, Sookie’s kitchen magic as joyful nourishment, and town square walks as movement that feels good. We’ll talk about how to create rituals that ground you (hello, Friday night movie marathons), give yourself grace when things aren’t perfect, and invite community into your season the way Lorelai and Rory always do.

Grab a mug of coffee (or cider), settle in, and let’s build your own Fueled Girl Fall — Gilmore Girls style. ✨

In this episode, Tori talks about the choice we face on our healing journeys: whether to turn back to old habits and pain, or to keep moving forward into growth and freedom. She shares her personal story of eating disorder recovery and reflects on how tempting it can be to revisit the past, but also how transformative it is to stay focused on the road ahead.

Tori opens up about the ways God has guided her through this process, teaching her to release what’s behind and embrace the new life He is building. With honesty and encouragement, she reminds listeners that healing isn’t always linear, but every step forward is proof of God’s faithfulness.

This episode is an invitation to anyone who has struggled with looking back during recovery, relationships, or personal growth. Through her words, Tori offers hope, encouragement, and the reminder that with God’s help, we are not defined by our past. We’re called to keep growing.
