Before I even begin to share about my personal breast augmentation journey, I need you to hear this message - no one needs to change anything about their physical appearance to be worthy of love and acceptance. I believe that if I had gotten this procedure done at a different time in my life, I would've thought it would solve all my problems. And ultimately, I would've been disappointed. But this journey started for me after I had already learned so much about loving myself - AND I was lucky enough to have someone in my life who loved me exactly as I was.
Ultimately, if you want to walk this path and you believe that a breast augmentation is going to give you a confidence and a brightness that you've been longing for in your life, you are the only person capable of making that decision. And I'm here for it! Do what makes you happy. You deserve it!
This is me pre-augmentation, just last year. I can remember feeling so self conscious after taking this picture. I'm always so careful not to comment on my body, especially in front of Presley. But I was so disappointed that after a year of radically changing the way I take care of myself and put myself first, there was still this one thing that was really stealing my self-confidence.
To me, it wasn't worth it to let myself feel this way anymore. There was something I could do about it, after all!
Right now, I'm 8 weeks post op and fresh from a vacation with my boyfriend to Punta Cana, and I'm actually pleasantly surprised by the way they've settled in! So now I'm ready to share more about my experience with you guys. And I'm so grateful for your love and support - it's always tricky sharing vulnerable things like this!
I was an A cup to a very small B cup for the majority of my life and then I started breastfeeding. It was such a crazy experience having boobs! I breastfed my youngest Hayden for a year and a half and when that was over I felt so deflated - literally! After getting the surgery, I went into Victoria's Secret to get new bras and it was just such a relief. I felt so confident! And I only got 200 CCs, which is very modest.
My biggest concern was how am I going to take care of my kids after surgery. My mom and Brad were so helpful, staying on hand while I was in recovery, and I had just planned the surgery to happen at the beginning of my ex's time with the kids so I could relax and recover.
If you're trying to take into account what phase of life you'd like to be in when you get yours done, I'd say it was very helpful that both of my older kids were big enough to easily pick up Hayden if I needed an extra hand.
I answered so many more of your questions in this week's video! Like and subscribe to my channel if you want to keep following along through this season of life, leave a comment to let me know you're here, and I'll see you guys next week!

Hi Brianna, Congrats on making this big decision for yourself! I saw you said that you just returned from a trip to Punta Cana with your boyfriend. My husband and I separated last year, so this stood out to me because I didn’t realize you got divorced. I’m so sorry to hear you have gone through this and it’s hopeful to see you living your best life on the other side of tragedy. I followed your youtube channel before you moved to Hawaii. Certainly no need to share your personal life about this if you don’t want to, but it may be helpful and inspiring to others to share your journey as it has been a difficult chapter in my life.
Hugs, Tara
