For years, I thought I was just tired, stressed, or hormonal. I didn’t realize how much of my daily pain — the tension in my shoulders, the constant discomfort, even the headaches — was coming from my chest.
I thought I was supposed to just manage it. Hide it. Live around it. And honestly? I did that for a long time.
In this episode, I’m sharing the first part of my breast reduction story. The part that’s hardest to talk about — the waiting.
The years of adjusting my life around discomfort, putting everyone else’s needs first, and believing that relief was something I had to earn. If you’ve ever told yourself, “maybe someday,” this is your invitation to reconsider what’s possible when you choose yourself.
