Breast Reduction Healing Isn’t a Straight Line

Healing after surgery doesn’t always unfold the way we expect — and that’s especially true for breast reduction.

In this honest and grounding episode, Shelley Beyer opens up about a deeply personal moment in her recovery: standing at the dishwasher, cleared for full activity, yet overwhelmed by pain and frustration. She shares how real healing often involves emotional setbacks, invisible milestones, and a lot more grace than most of us are used to giving ourselves.

This Spark is for the woman who feels behind, who’s carrying guilt for needing help, or who wonders if she’s healing the “right” way. Shelley reminds us that there is no wrong way to heal — and that rest, grief, and messy days all count as progress.
