In this episode, Dr. Mona sits with her Nour Counseling colleagues Kristin Reddick, LCMHCA, and Danay Scott, LCMHC, to discuss the profound connection between hair and belonging. Join as they explore how hair serves as a powerful medium for self-expression, a source of cultural pride, and an essential element of personal and communal identity.

Tune in now to learn about:

-The cultural messaging that has traditionally linked “good” hair with eurocentric and racist beauty standards

- Learning to separate what society considers beautiful from one’s own beauty values

- Perfectionism as the opposite of belonging

- The concept of hair as a “mask,” a way to hide from the world what’s going on internally

- Hair as a reflection of one’s mental state

- The notion there’s an energy people carry with their hair

- Hair as a source of freedom and creative expression
