Bye Bye Boobies — The Why, The How, and What No One Tells You About Breast Reduction Surgery
Okay, so… I got my boobs done. Not implants. I got a breast reduction—and in this episode, I’m walking you through everything: the emotional backstory, the wild insurance hurdles, the drains (ugh), the Hooters farewell tour, and why I would do it again in a heartbeat.
From being the first girl in fourth grade told to wear a bra to breastfeeding three kids, this has been a long time coming. I share what pushed me to finally do it, how I chose my surgeon, and all the things no one really preps you for when it comes to healing and reclaiming your body.
We talk about:
Growing up with big boobs and feeling hyper-visible from a young age
Why this felt like a personal and physical reclamation—not just a cosmetic decision
The continued struggles with health insurance coverage
How painful and weirdly humbling recovery really is (have you ever tried showering without raising your arms?!)
Shower hacks, pain meds, body image shifts, and parenting while healing
Answering your DMs about cost, implants vs. reductions, and explaining it all to your kids
Why running out of Hooters in slow motion should honestly be an Oscar-nominated short film (someone call Pamela Anderson and ask her how she survived Baywatch beach runs!)
This episode is for the girls who’ve ever wanted to feel more at home in their body—and the ones Googling “can you sleep without a bra?” because same.

💬 If you’re thinking about a reduction…
You don’t owe anyone an explanation. Not the internet, not your cousin, not some guy named Henry from Norfolk. 🙃 But if you want the story, this is mine—and I hope it helps you feel more prepared, informed, and supported (pun intended).
