Breast Reduction Journey: Why I Finally Said Yes (Part 1)

Updated: Aug 1

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.

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.
