“Discover your next chapter,” says the neat white box on my table. For the next three hours, I create a collage of my desired future life out of cut-out stock images, contemplate impactful life events, identify my “big want,” and take stretching breaks. All the while, I’m trying to avoid the thoughts creeping in, the

Call it laziness, or minimalism, or just general exhaustion, but as of late, I somehow found that I unintentionally reduced my skincare to the absolute bare minimum: A cleanser, moisturizer, and SPF.

A handful of days after my bilateral mastectomy, my seven-year-old daughter saw my breasts. No longer voluptuous like they were when she suckled them for over a year and a half, her face crinkled. Not in disgust, but in wonderment, as she took them in. “When will you have nipples, mommy?” she asked. After I
