Being Bald in the Wild: Painting Pottery!

I did this on a weekend which meant… lots of kids & lots of opportunities for “mommy that person doesn’t have hair!”

However, no one comments were made this time! Despite overlapping with two birthday parties in the pottery store. I also intentionally did not look around to see if anyone was staring, I really tried to stay focused on the painting instead. Stares were potentially happening, but I chose not to look for it🤷🏻‍♀️

For Mental Health Awareness month, I have reflected on some things that have supported my own journey. One of the biggest things has been making choices to have intentional mindset shifts. These are just a few of the shifts that have supported me overtime (because neuroplasticityis real and we have the power the change our brain!)

It all starts with one single decision of going outside your comfort zone, it might feel like a small step in the moment but once you keep building on that FIRST decision… suddenly its years later & you realize you’re fully living again

It is has been a minute since I have talked about the Hair Loss Diary! It was the first resource I ever created and it has a very special place in my heart💕

Since I’ve been neglecting sharing about it, I decided the digital version of the journal is going to be 50% OFF for a limited time!

If you’re more interested in a hard copy, those are currently 12% OFF!

Comment “HLD” and I will send you the link to access the discounted digital & hard copy ☺️

The invisible impacts of hair loss: Body Image

This part 2 of this series & im talking about one of my favorite things: body image🪞 I tried to make these slides as concise as possible, but body image has MANY layers because it goes far beyond appearance.

Experiencing Alopecia as a child, in combination with my gymnastics background, I have always been interested in body image. In gymnastics, I saw the more “traditional” body image experience at play or what most people think of when discussing body image (such as body size, disordered eating etc).

With the addition of my Alopecia experience, I noticed not a lot of people recognized how hair is just as much a part of body image. My goal with this post is to…

1. Validate your experience if you have Alopecia yourself

2. Help others who don’t have Alopecia recognize why it impacts body image

3. Highlight the aspects that are in your control because THAT is where the path forward is

Did any of these slides resonate with your experience!

As always, never hesitate to reach out for support using the link in my bio❤️
