Tori then finds financial abundance, empowerment and friendship within the industry, completely changing her perspective on it. All for this man to come back into her life and destroy it even worse than the first time, leaving her traumatised and alone. It was in this time that Tori decided to turn her pain into purpose and write her story."}
