And somewhere in that conversation, Mo started telling the real story. Years of medical appointments that went nowhere. Surgeries that cost her thousands and changed nothing. Being told her case was too complicated, too risky, too much. Until she made a decision that changed everything. And on the other side of that decision, she found herself asking a question she'd never thought to ask before: what has my body actually survived? Not what it looks like. Not what size it is. What has it carried, endured, and come back from? That question is what this episode is really about. We talk about what it means to reconnect with a body you've felt disconnected from. About feeling feminine on your own terms. About the idea that once you're married, your husband's acceptance of your body should be enough for you and why…
