Feeling Good. In Great Spirits. Let’s get outside for a bit to eat.

I turned my real recovery experience into something I hope helps the next woman feel a little more prepared. 💚 The First 72: My First 72 Hours After Breast Reduction Surgery 📖 Real experience. Real healing. A brighter me. Same girl. New chapter. 💚 Stay tuned… it’s almost time! 🌿

The things we don’t talk about during recovery… how something as simple as taking a shower can feel like a whole EVENT. 😂 I was nervous. I moved slow. I needed help. And by the time I was done, I felt like I had worked an entire shift. 😩 But baby… CLEAN feels GOOD! 😂🙌🏾 Recovery is humbling. Y

Whew… Day 2. 😮‍💨 Today I’m definitely feeling the soreness, tightness, swelling and exhaustion a little more. My body is reminding me that even though the surgery is over, the healing has just begun. So today’s assignment is simple: REST. 💚 Hydrate. Take my meds. Eat something. Walk a li

I MADE IT. Surgery is complete, I’m home, and now the healing begins. First, thank you. Every prayer, every message, every check-in, every word of encouragement—I felt the love. More than anything, I’m grateful to God for carrying me through yesterday and allowing me to make it back home to my b

SURGERY DAY. 🙏🏽 After all the appointments, waiting, paperwork, emotions, excitement, frustration, prayers, and countdowns… today is finally the day. Am I nervous? Yes. Am I emotional? Absolutely. But more than anything, I’m grateful. God has carried me through every single step of this

Work is getting wrapped up. House is getting cleaned. Groceries are ordered. Recovery plans are in place. ✅ At this point, there’s not much left to do but trust God, breathe, and get ready for this new chapter. 🙏🏾 It’s crazy thinking about how long I’ve wanted this… and now I can literally

5 DAYS UNTIL SURGERY. 😬🥹🤎 Okay… now it’s getting REAL real. 😂 Five days from now, I’ll be starting a chapter I’ve thought about for a long time. And lately I’ve been thinking about the little things I’m excited to experience afterward. I’m nervous, but I’m genuinely excited. I’m not spendi

Okayyyy… we are officially in the ONE WEEK countdown. 😭 At this point, I’m not trying to do the most. I’m preparing what needs to be prepared, taking care of my body, spending time with my kids, protecting my peace and letting myself be excited. The nerves are still there. Of course they are.

Yesterday was pre-op. Today, I’m just letting it sink in. In 9 days, I’ll officially be starting a new chapter. I’m excited, a little nervous, and definitely having those “girl…you’re really doing this” moments. 😂 But I’m ready. Right now, my focus is simple: prepare, protect my peace, tak

Okay y’all… healing is cute and all, but SIS HAS TO EAT. 😂 Tonight, The Exhale Project is showing some love to Krafted by Katrina 💕 — because look at this plate! Sweet Tea Wings, Southern sides, cornbread, signature lemonade AND dessert?! 😮‍💨 This is the kind of meal that makes you sit down,

It’s okay to cut off access for a while.

Sometimes self-care isn’t a nail appointment, a shopping trip, or a day at the spa. 💚 Sometimes it’s cleaning your space, moving things around, using what you already have, and slowly making your home feel peaceful again.

Anybody else go to work and spend half the day thinking about everything they’re going to do when they get home? 😂

I used to think being “that girl” meant having it all together. Looking perfect. Feeling confident. Never struggling. Baby… absolutely not. 😂 I’m still that girl when I’m tired. Still her when I’m figuring life out. Still her when my confidence takes a hit. Still her while healing, growin
