Regina Steele's story starts where most don't: with a naturally large chest that made her want to disappear. After years of unwanted male attention and physical discomfort, she underwent a reduction with prosthetic devices, hoping to finally feel comfortable in her body. Instead, she spent years battling endocrine chaos, digestive dysfunction, and systemic complications no doctor could explain. When she discovered the connection between her symptoms and her surgical devices and chose extraction with Dr. Whitfield's team, everything changed. Today, Regina guides mothers through the messy reality of postpartum recovery through her integrative coaching practice and her refreshingly honest book, "Mother F*cked: The Anti-Perfectionist's Guide to Surviving and Thriving in the Chaos of Modern Motherhood." This conversation reveals the hidden cost of chasing society's ideal body and the power of listening to what your body has been trying to tell you all along.
