Today’s guest is Victoria Fisher, a mold survivor, awareness advocate, and soon-to-be mother. Victoria unknowingly lived with mold for five years. Thankfully, she continued listening to intuition and discovered that the culprit for her chronic problems existed right within her own home. Even after seeing doctor after doctor, no one could pinpoint what the problem was, and instead only gave her band-aids for the problem. 

The experience taught Victoria how important it is to continue advocating for her own health and listening to intuition. Refusing to accept her condition as the new normal, she discovered the answers on her own and fought to get her body back into balance and healthy once more. Even while fighting with apartment complex management and medical professionals that were woefully unfamiliar with mold. Still, she considers this event a learning and strengthening experience and is using her story to help others who may be suffering from similar situations.

Today’s Talk:

In this episode, Michael Rubino chats with Victoria Fisher about her five-year experience with mold exposure and just how difficult it can be to find answers. Not only that, but also the lack of experience with acceptance and understanding when it comes to this indoor contaminant, especially from apartment management. Listening to intuition and refusing to accept her situation as the new normal is the main driver that got her through the experience. 

At first, when Victoria’s mental and physical health started to take a downward turn, she thought it might be her birth control causing all of the issues. When the symptoms persisted even after the removal of her Nexplanon, she then turned to genetic conditions. Her mother suffered from thyroid cancer, so Victoria began seeing medical professionals to determine if this could be the cause of her problems. As it typically goes with mold toxicity, every single test they ran came back normal.

As the symptoms progressed over time, she saw an increasing number of doctors and specialists, but no one could give her an answer to her issues. Victoria refused to give up, though. As she said, "I just knew that this didn't have to be my story, and I didn't want it to be my story," so she continued pushing for answers and listening to intuition. It took years of research and perseverance before she finally found her answer: indoor mold growth. After finding specific indicators in the test results, she immediately contacted Texas Mold Inspectors to come in and assess her and her husband’s apartment. They, of course, found the mold.

What followed was a long and drawn-out battle with the apartment complex management. Luckily, Victoria had the foresight to begin and maintain a paper trail, which she would eventually use to break her lease. From there, she focused on healing her body while staying with her in-laws and finding a new home that didn’t already have a mold problem. 

Looking back, Victoria said that while it’s been a wild ride, she still wouldn’t give up the experience. It brought her so much awareness and passion for creating a healthy home that she’s grateful for.
