How do we get comfortable in a life with hair loss?  How to we accept the unacceptable ? How do we get comfortable with our hair loss with the choices we make to live with hair loss, including treatment and / or wigs. How do we move forward and let go of what holds us back, which often times is the options of others.  It has taken me a long time to learn to accept this, accept less, accept change, and learn to accept this was my reality. Fighting it only hurt me, denial stole years of my life, it didn’t help me. The ability to be okay, exists, it doesn’t happen overnight, but it does ..read more

This episode focuses on recapping the last year of my life. This is my life and hair loss update, they tie together. I now have a new type of hair loss in addition to the one I’ve had 24 years - female pattern baldness. The events of last year triggered this new hair loss, and so, here we are. I share about discovering I now also have diffuse alopecia areata (Incognita).  I feel like this update is messy and all over the place, but my life is messy and all over the place, so it works perfectly.   I had no idea it was possible to get more than one type of hair loss, but it is.  I ..read more

This episode focuses on moving forward through hair loss, and what that looked like for me. I know a lot of women are in a place of feeling they will not be able to accept, they will not be able to live with hair loss - but you can, I know you can. I am living proof of that.  I share different parts of my story and journey to let you know it took different things along the way to get me to the place I am today.  Believing YOU CAN emotionally get past hair loss is so important.  Removing the fixed mentality that things have to be a certain way - that fixed mentality kept me stuck ..read more

Although I have been doing PRP therapy to treat my hair loss for nearly a decade, earlier this year was the first year I had the treatment locally in Beverly Hills by Dr. Baubac Hayatdavoudi, in addition to the PRP, I also had an Exosomes treatment. After 6 months I want to provide my thoughts and where I am at currently. I also discuss the importance or confronting the reality of our hair loss, whether or not we choose to treat it. In my opinion, living in denial can make the journey more difficult and at times also, practically and logistically problematic.  Visit Me Online:Website ..read more

This episode is raw and personal.  In this podcast I share with you in more detail the cause of my hair loss, and provide a deeper look into my hair loss story/ journey. Last week I had posted a video on my YouTube Channel that was meant to really just share the cause of my of my hair loss, and open the dialogue for others to comment on the cause of theirs or if they didn’t know what the cause was, to share that too. While I cannot advise what others should or should not do, I think there is benefit in sharing my story so that others can get a deeper look into a 21 year journey of ha ..read more

An update on my experience with PRP is long overdue, and over the last couple months I have tried to record a segment on this, each time only finding that I was left with a question mark and a position of inaction and indecisiveness as to how to continue forward. I found myself stuck. I was already being confronted with the fact that I was no longer experiencing the same benefit of PRP during the last couple years, as I had in my prior years. My hair loss shedding / decline was occurring more rapidly and after my last treatment in November,  I was actually debating on whether or not the t ..read more

I am joined again by Joe Tillman, The Hair Transplant Mentor to discuss the validity of Low Level Laser Light Therapy and PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Therapy for the treatment of hair loss.  I have personally chosen to never try low level laser light therapy for my hair loss and discuss my reason for that, however, over the years I have heard some women say they received some benefit and others say they received none.  I have been doing PRP Therapy since November 2009 with Dr. Joseph Greco in Sarasota Florida. Side note, I live in Los Angeles and have chosen to take the trip from LA t ..read more

In this episode I am joined by Joe Tillman, The Hair Transplant Mentor, to discuss the topic of women and hair transplant surgery. Do women actually make good candidates for this procedure? It is my understanding based on my what I’ve read over the years, and also based on the experience I have with my own type of hair loss - female pattern baldness aka androgenetic alopecia, that women like myself are NOT candidates for hair transplant surgery. I wanted to dive deeper into this topic and get the facts from an expert, so that women can be empowered and educated when making decisions on treatin ..read more
