From Vision to Reality: Becoming Who You're Called to Be

The Tori Kruse Show

I'm taking you back to the very beginning of my pageant journey in this powerful replay of my appearance on Moving Through and Beyond, hosted by Carey Conley. But as with any big dream, it wasn’t always a smooth ride. We get real about facing rejection and how I learned to persevere, even when the odds were stacked against me. Along the way, I discovered my big “why”—the driving force behind everything I do.

Balancing life and pageantry became its own challenge, but I’m sharing how I made it work, even when life got chaotic. And speaking of chaos, we talk about overcoming a toxic relationship that once held me back, and how my faith, therapy, and emotional strength helped me rebuild. From there, it’s all about healthy habits and self-care. I share the routines and mindset shifts that keep me grounded and energized every single day.
