For over a decade, I struggled with debilitating illnesses of unknown origin. In 2018, I discovered that Breast Implant Illness was slowly killing me.

Once I understood the culprit, I researched and found my surgeon, had surgery, and uprooted my life from FL to WA state, then back to FL.

Little did I know my healing journey would become the basis for what is now the very best chapter of my life. I get to live my dream of writing, sharing, and connecting with awesome women all over the globe.

I use this blog to discuss midlife, menopause, reinvention, nutrition, and more.

If you’re struggling with implants, BII-related illness, or the depression and anxiety resulting from a not-so-great explant, try to take each day as it comes.

Please don’t beat yourself up for how you feel. Have faith that there are better and brighter days on the other side. Until then, it’s okay to be okay.

Btw, my explant surgery didn’t leave me with perfect boobs, so this space is also dedicated to exploring radical self-love because I AM NOT MY BOOBS—I’m so much more, and so are you.
