Guest Syssou shares how she transformed a dramatic haircut into an act of healing and self-love. After carrying years of trauma and the grief of losing two babies, her long dreadlocks came to symbolize the pain she was holding.

She reflects on how cutting off her locs marked the beginning of releasing that grief and reclaiming her sense of self. In this emotional episode, we explore how physical transformation—like a big chop—can mirror inner transformation.

Syssou’s story is a powerful reminder of resilience and how embracing change, even outwardly, can open the door to deep emotional healing.
