In this episode, we’re taking a deep breath and catching up. It's just the two of us—Shawn and Ashley—talking about life lately, including Shawn’s most recent lipedema removal surgery. We get into the tough stuff, the hopeful stuff, and everything in between. Whether you're recovering from surgery, considering it, or just navigating the daily ups and downs of lipedema—you’re not alone.
