Five years ago, I made the decision to let go of coloring my hair, a choice that I realized was so much more than a style change. It became a journey of challenging cultural expectations, facing fears of rejection, and ultimately reclaiming my sense of self.

 

This was such a deeply personal yet universal choice—a journey through fear, anger, and finally, freedom as I chose to embrace my natural gray hair. 

 

This transformation wasn't just about hair—it was about stepping into my authenticity, redefining beauty, and finding a new level of confidence that spilled into every area of my life. It's my story of shedding layers of societal pressure to reimagine womanhood in midlife on my own terms.

 

If you've ever wondered why we feel the need to conform to beauty standards that don't resonate with our true selves, or if you're curious about how letting go of those standards can transform your life, this episode is for you. 

 

In this episode, I'm talking about:

• My journey into aging naturally.

• Questioning societal expectations for women around beauty.

• Fear of judgment with aging. 

• The differences between aging men and women. 

• How the choice to go gray led to self-discovery and growth. 

• The energy and belief behind our choices.

• Encouraging women to question the "why" behind beauty choices.

• Health benefits of cutting out hair dye chemicals. 

 

Join me to explore this liberating experience and the power of embracing who we are, fully and unapologetically.
