Breaking the Silence: My Life, My Survival & the Road to Healing

The Courage to Heal Where It Hurts Most

In this episode of Behind the Bruises, I’m joined by Dr. Kristin Boehm, a double board-certified plastic surgeon in Atlanta, for a conversation about transformation beyond the surface. As a surgeon, Dr. Boehm understands transformation as more than aesthetics-it’s the process of taking what was broken, scarred, or hidden and reshaping it into something strong, whole, and visible once more. Together we explore reconstruction and renewal through a deeply human lens—how healing is not only physical, but emotional, and how honoring the story behind the scars is essential to true restoration. This episode offers insight, compassion, and a powerful reminder that healing can take many forms. Because YOU MATTER.
