In today’s episode, Dale opens up about something deeply personal, intentional, and years in the making: her upcoming breast augmentation in the new year. This isn’t a beauty-decision story; it’s an honesty story, a coming-home-to-yourself story, and a conversation about doing something for you after years of your body being in service to pregnancy, breastfeeding, motherhood, and everyone else’s needs. Dale shares why she chose to move forward now, how she knew she was truly ready, and the clarity she needed around whether or not she was done having kids. She talks about what it was like to tell her husband, how she brought him into the process, and how she approached telling her parents. She also explains why she decided to be transparent on social media and how sharing her truth was core to her. Dale walks through her entire process of finding the right doctor, from the research to the consultations to choosing the surgeon who felt aligned, and she opens up about the financial side as well, including what she’s paying and the considerations behind that decision. This episode is raw, grounded, and meant to take the shame and secrecy out of a topic so many women quietly think about. It’s a reminder that you are more than a mom and you’re allowed to make choices that honor the woman inside the mother.Instagram: @wearemorethanmomsPatreon: More Than Moms Guides & Resources Join our IRL LA communitySubscribe to our NewsletterProduced by Peoples MediaInstagram: @wearemorethanmomsPatreon: More Than Moms Guides & Resources Join our IRL LA communitySubscribe to our NewsletterProduced by Peoples Media Hosted on Acast.
