S2, E17: Breast Implant Illness, Sobriety, and Reinvention: Welcome, Alison Gatz

This one is a must-listen. While Kate's away, the gorgeous Alison Gatz (publisher of Fishers Magazine, founder of AMG retreats, and content creator) is in our studio today, and she doesn't hold back. Alison claims to be an open book, and that she is. She answers all of Lindsay's questions surrounding her decision to receive a double masectomy, breast implant illness that followed, and her decision to remove her implants (after one ruptured, causing her to feel distressingly terrible). We talk about Alison's 11 years of sobriety, and how that has changed her life. We talk about her businesses too, and how important it is for midlife women to take time for themselves, especially if they find themselves in a position where their kids have left for college, and for the first time, they're left to discover who they want to be for the rest of their lives.  Huge thanks to Alison for her transparency, vulnerability, and honesty. You can find her on Instagram @lifebyalig, and you can learn more about her women's retreats at amgretreats.com. As always, thank you for listening, and please share the 2DumbBelles podcast with friends!
