Episode 130: A Day In Her Life with Tory Stroker - Dietitian and Mom of Two in New Jersey
A Day In Her Life with Tory Stroker — Chaotic, Fulfilling, and Busy Days as a Dietitian & Mom of Two
Join Ellie for this week’s episode of A Day In Her Life with Tory Stroker, a registered dietitian, content creator, and mom of two living in New Jersey. Tory runs a thriving weight-inclusive nutrition counseling practice supporting women in eating disorder recovery, all while parenting a four-year-old and a baby, running her Substack, and navigating the beautiful chaos of this season.
Tory opens up about what her days really look like—messy, meaningful, funny, and full. From boundary-setting with her phone to snack-plate hacks for her preschooler, she shares a refreshingly honest look at work-life balance, recovery, motherhood, and building a life aligned with her values.
In this episode, we cover:
- Mornings in the Trenches: The reality of wake-ups with two little kids, carving out coffee rituals, and the strict phone boundaries that have changed everything for her anxiety.
- Mom Days vs. Work Days: How she divides her week into client facing days, pure “mom days,” and what those schedules actually look like.
- Running a Weight-Inclusive Practice: Tory’s path from dancer to dietitian, her eating-disorder recovery, and how she helps moms break generational cycles around food and body image.
- Afternoons & Snack Plates: The exact system she uses to avoid constant “can I have a snack?” requests and keep everyone fed until dinner.
- Self-Care That’s Realistic: Walks, Sculpt Society workouts, simple meals, rest when she can take it, and the cookbook club she created to stay connected socially.
- Community, Friendship & Support: How she stays connected through Marco Polo, voice memos, and humor with her sister and close circle.
- Outsourcing & Systems: Grocery pickup, childcare help, shared calendars — and why she’s embraced “good enough” over perfect.
If you’ve ever felt stretched thin, overly stimulated, starved for rest, or stuck in the nonstop loop of drop-offs, snacks, naps, and dinner chaos — this conversation will make you feel seen, understood, and absolutely not alone.
