Why Breast Reduction Recovery Feels Slow

Updated: Aug 1

If you’ve been feeling behind in your recovery, this episode is a breath of relief. Shelley Beyer speaks directly to the emotional pressure so many women feel after breast reduction — the pressure to bounce back, to feel “normal,” to hit some invisible milestone. In just four short minutes, Shelley offers a grounding reminder: you’re not behind. You’re healing, and healing doesn’t follow a schedule.


Whether you’re managing rib pain, mental fatigue, or just the weight of comparison, this Spark invites you to trust the pace of your body — even when it feels slower than expected. Because your healing timeline is not a race. It’s uniquely yours.

Hi, I'm Shelley Beyer.

I’ve been through breast reduction surgery myself, and I’m here to support other women on that same path—before surgery, after surgery, and in the everyday healing that comes after.

I believe in reducing inflammation through a carnivore way of eating, preparing the body with intention, and creating space for the emotional, physical, and spiritual recovery this journey invites.

 

If you're navigating your own transformation, I’m so glad you're here.
