Q1: Who is Victoria Tyler?

I’m an advocate, speaker, and influencer living—Aliving & Thriving—with a permanent ostomy. I share my journey to break stigma, build community, and inspire others to live fully, no matter the challenge.

Q2: What does “Aliving & Thriving” mean?

It’s my personal mantra for living fully with a permanent ostomy. Life after surgery isn’t just about surviving—it’s about thriving with humor, confidence, and purpose. You’ll even see it featured in my upcoming merch line!

Q3: How can I book Victoria for speaking engagements?

Head to my Speaking page to view my topics, then send an inquiry through the contact form or email me directly. My team (okay, mostly me with a lot of coffee) will get back to you with details.

Q4: What is Ostimigos?

Ostimigos is the support group I founded to create a safe space for people with ostomies to share stories, find community, and uplift one another. Think of it as a family, but with more resilience and fewer awkward holiday dinners.

Q5: Do you collaborate with brands?

Yes! I’ve worked with a range of companies, from wellness and lifestyle brands to Savage X Fenty (where I made history as their first ambassador with an ostomy bag). If your brand aligns with advocacy, empowerment, or lifestyle, I’d love to connect.

Q6: How do you balance advocacy with family life?

With love, humor, and a very full calendar. I’m a proud wife to an Army veteran, mom to four amazing kids, and dog mom to three very entertaining pups—Missy, Elliott, and Marley—who sometimes steal the show on social media.

Q7: How can I support your mission?

There are lots of ways! Share my content to help spread awareness, join Ostimigos for community support, invite me to speak at your next event, or grab some Aliving & Thriving merch when it launches. Every action helps break stigma and uplift this community.
