In this episode, I'm joined by philanthropist, producer, and actress, Torrey DeVitto. After finally finding her spirituality in her 30s following a childhood of searching, Torrey shows us how everyone can benefit from leaning into a life of spiritual practices. From meditation to reiki, she explains the impact these practices can have on living a longer, healthier life. Plus, we discuss the varying relationship everyone has with trauma and the different ways that Hollywood has changed over the last couple decades.

Conscious actress, advocate, philanthropist, and producer Torrey  Joël  DeVitto has wrapped her incredible six season run on the NBC drama, “Chicago Med.” While she may be best known for her roles in the CW’s, “Vampire Diaries” and “One Tree Hill” as well as ABC Family’s hit show, “Pretty Little Liars,” she is currently making an impact off screen as well. As an advocate for women's safety, health and rights, she is working on the board of directors with SafeBAE, is a spokesperson and ambassador for the NHPCO. She is also an outspoken advocate for reproductive rights and spoke at Planned Parenthood’s Bans Off Our Bodies virtual rally, attended The Women’s Convention in 2022 as well as shared her own abortion story in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE. Torrey is also an advocate for animals and regularly supports organizations such as PETA and The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), and maintains a vegan/vegetarian lifestyle. Throughout the years of her adult life, wellness has been a common theme for Torrey, balancing her busy acting career with her philanthropic work and personal practices in alternative medicine, veganism and holistic wellness. Torrey incorporates consciousness into every aspect of her life from her cruelty-free makeup choices, to vegan fashion and eco-conscious sustainability. With her spirituality, Torrey is also a yogi, and she has become certified in reiki, the akashic records, and recently started a course in astrology, taking her practice to a new level.
