It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Dr. Stephanie is going tender and practical. This solo episode isn't medical advice—it's a heartfelt walk through our relationship with our breasts, how the lymphatic system supports breast health, and a simple self-care practice you can start today: breast "phluffing."

Stephanie unpacks cultural pressure and self-talk, then shifts into clear, accessible basics on lymph flow (what it is, where it goes, why movement, hydration, posture, and deep breathing matter). She also introduces PHLUFF—Personal Hand Lymphatic Undulation Flow Facilitation—a light, loving technique popularized by nurse-educator Cheryl Chapman. You'll learn gentle tapping under the armpit and soft circular motions upward toward the axilla—no digging, no pain—just mindful care.

This one's about kindness, body literacy, and giving your chest the love it deserves. Long live the tatas. 💗
