This episode revisits one of my earliest reflections on the emotional and physical intensity of that first week after breast reduction surgery — the part no one really prepares you for. I share why every version of the first week is valid, whether yours felt overwhelming, surprisingly calm, or somewhere in between.

The heart of this story is about releasing comparison and allowing your own healing to be enough.

This episode is part of my From the Vault series — re-released from my early days of creating Off the Rack, with timeless wisdom that still resonates today.

This Feel Good Friday reflection invites you to honor something most women never give themselves permission to feel after breast reduction: pride.

In this gentle moment of truth, Shelley explores how healing isn’t about perfection but about choosing yourself again and again — even on the quiet, unglamorous days.

You’ll be reminded that your progress matters, your effort matters, and you are allowed to feel proud of how far you’ve come.
