Being Boobless: Redefining & Reclaiming Femininity
About this Podcast:
I’m so excited I got to talk to Lacey Marie about her journey dealing with infection and illness due to breast implants, and how she has come to terms and peace with her boobless body as well as her advocacy work to educate others.
After years of Mormonism and the need for perfection, Lacey Marie had gone to great lengths to fit into the ideal woman box that had been painted by society and the Mormon culture. In an effort to save her marriage she opted for a breast augmentation. At the end of it all she was left, as some would say, was deformed & completely boobless, however she would describe herself as confident and free from all the self sabotage chains that once held her back.
About the Guest:
Boobless and Fabuless is her mantra. Lacey Marie believes flatter is better. After years of dealing with seemingly random health issues and being near death, she discovered it was all connected to the size of her breasts. Lacey learned she had Breast Implant Illness, plus two genetic markers for breast cancer so she made the decision to have both her implants and her breast removed. Through this process, she realized there’s a gross lack of resources and support for Breast Implant Illness, which has empowered her to use her story and advocate for more women to become Boobless and Fabuless.
