418: Redefining Femininity, Letting Go of Societal Standards, and My 11-Month Post-Explant Update
Description
It’s almost a year since my breast explant surgery.
I’m sharing what the journey has really been like, from redefining my own version of femininity to discovering that confidence comes not from changing my body, but from accepting it as is.
We often measure ourselves by our perceived “imperfections”—whether it’s our stomach, arms, skin, or scars—forgetting that we’re so much more than a sum of individual parts. If you've ever found yourself replaying that background noise of self-criticism, this episode is for you.
In this episode I talk about:
✨ Redefining femininity: it’s personal, and it’s empowering.
✨ Body confidence as is—embracing where I am now without striving for perfection.
✨ The value in letting go of “standards” that were never really ours to begin with.
✨ How self-acceptance can open up new freedom, connection, and even joy.
Thank you for listening, and I hope you find encouragement here to love and accept yourself fully and completely.
