This week on the Mom Salon Podcast, we sit down with local mom of two, Paige Souza, for one of our most honest motherhood conversations yet. A former teacher turned SAHM, Paige takes us back to the height of COVID when she welcomed her first daughter in April 2020 and her entire life changed overnight.

Continuing our motherhood series, Paige opens up about the raw reality of stay-at-home mom life.. the beautiful moments, the isolating ones, the identity shifts, the sacrifices, and the unexpected ways motherhood can completely reshape who you are. We also dive into how she began growing on social media, turning content creation into both a creative outlet and a side hustle during the chaos of raising young kids.

But this episode goes even deeper. Paige shares the emotional journey that led her to make the decision to get a breast reduction after children from years of discomfort and insecurity to finally feeling ready to prioritize herself again. We talk through the anxiety leading up to surgery and the excitement she has about reconnecting with her confidence and feeling good in her body again.

This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation and trust us, you are going to want to come back for Part 2. 

After her surgery, Paige returns to the podcast to share everything: the recovery, the emotions, the outcome, and whether this major decision changed more than just her body.
