What is Ebstein’s Anomaly?  How did living with congenital heart defects influence Tori Geiger’s career choice? What does having Ebstein’s Anomaly mean for a newly married couple wanting a family?

Today’s show is Resiliency: Overcoming Challenges with Ebstein’s Anomaly and our Guest is Tori Geiger. We’ll start today’s program by learning a bit about Tori in Segment 1. In the second segment, we’re going to talk about becoming an advocate and an author and in the final segment, we will discover what Tori and her husband have planned for the future. 

Heart Warrior Tori Geiger was diagnosed with Ebstein's Anomaly and Coarctation of the aorta. She had open-heart surgery at 4 days, 2 months, and 7 months of age. She had an ablation for Supra-ventricular Tachycardia in 7th Grade and in her freshman year of high school. These experiences have taught Tori a lot about resilience and overcoming obstacles. During school and college, Tori was a competitive athlete and still takes part in athletics today. She is the author of the inspirational book: From Vulnerable to Victorious: Turning Your Chronic Illness Into Your Victory Story, and has her own website and Instagram to motivate and inspire others. Tori lives with her husband Devin, who is her best friend and business partner, and their pet Goldendoodle Teddy. They hope to expand their family one day.
