Tips for Dressing a Larger Chest + The Best Bras

As promised, I wanted to share some of my best tips for dressing a larger chest. When I first mentioned that I was going to be getting a breast reduction, a lot of y'all said you were shocked because you hadn't noticed my large chest before. And honestly, it's because I've spent the last 15+ years doing my best to hide my chest. I know everyone feels differently about their own body and I'm not saying there's anything wrong with a large chest (obviously), but for me, it was always an area of discomfort - both literally and figuratively.

My Thoughts After Using a Personal Trainer for 6 Months

2022 was finally the year that I wanted to stop putting things off, including a serious workout routine. As a mom to young boys, a business owner, a wife, a friend...you know how it goes, it was feeling like I had so many things that I wanted to do but would reserve them for 'next year'. Even with my breast reduction (which I'll be recovering from by the time you read this), it was something I had wanted for literally decades but never made the appointment...until I did. ...
