## Resource

This may be one of our most important conversations yet. In Part A, Sandra speaks with plastic surgeon Dr. Michelle Zweifler about knee and elbow skin excision surgery — what it does, what it doesn’t, scar reality, healing time, emotional readiness, lifestyle downtime, and why this is a rare procedure that deserves thoughtful conversation rather than fantasy expectations. In Part B, licensed professional counselor Lane Happel joins for a deeply compassionate conversation about body dysmorphia — why women fixate on parts of our bodies, how social media and cameras distort reality, and the emotional toll of comparison culture. And in Part C, we enter Spill It — where honesty, warmth, humor, emotion, and truth come together. It’s real. It’s human. It’s deeply validating. Learn more about your ad choices.
