My sweet friend, what a special decision you've made. I am so proud of you for making a choice that will bring you closer to feeling like your truest self. You deserve to feel at home in your body. Surgery of any kind is overwhelming and scary, adding to this, the significance of this surgery, and I see what a big and maybe emotional circumstance this is! Please let me know how I can best support you pre and post surgery. I am always, always here for you and want to show up in the way you need me most right now! So proud of you, so happy for you and love you so much!
