After my breast reduction, I stood in front of the mirror and didn’t recognize the woman looking back. For years, I had lived in a body that felt unfamiliar. But suddenly, it was as if I had stepped into the version of myself I’d always imagined.
In this episode, I share what it felt like to finally feel seen—by others and by myself. From fitting into my mom’s clothes for the first time to learning to trust my reflection, this is a tender, truthful conversation about healing after breast reduction… and what happens when your body transforms before your mind can catch up.
If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and felt both awe and disorientation, this one’s for you.
