My name is Vy (Vee).

For sixteen years, I lived in a body that was quietly asking to be heard.

I didn’t have language for it yet, only signals. Chronic fatigue. Mysterious symptoms that conventional care couldn’t fully resolve, even after years of appointments and a lot of money spent. I functioned, but I didn’t feel fully inside my life.

In 2020, after years of living with Breast Implant Illness (BII), I chose to explant. What I thought would be a physical decision became a turning point. It didn’t just change how I felt in my body, it changed how I wanted to live.

Healing stopped being about fixing myself and started being about listening. Learning how to come back to my body with softness. Rebuilding trust through daily choices: how I eat, how I move, how I rest, how I clear what I’ve been carrying, and how I make room for joy again.

That’s where detox became something different for me. A way to reduce the load, strengthen the basics, and help the body do what it already knows how to do, especially in a world that asks a lot of our systems.

Today, my explant is integrated into my story, but it doesn’t define me. What once felt like an uphill battle became a quiet catalyst. It guided me toward a slower, more embodied way of living that still works for real life.

Little joys, big impact.
