Joining me from Western Australia is the amazing Lauren this week.

At the time of recording our episode, Lauren was a week and a half out from her explant surgery, I'm looking forward to sharing many more episodes with Lauren as she heals post-explant.

Lauren is another example of a ridiculously strong woman. Not only is she dealing with Breast Implant Illness, but every day, Lauren endures a myriad of other illnesses, yet continues to advocate for people who live with disabilities.
