In this episode of C.A.Y.A., I’m joined by Audra as we catch up, do her braid-out, and talk about everything from healthy hair habits to letting go of old beauty standards as we head into a new year.

This wash day turns into a full girl-talk session — covering the emotional side of hair, why certain styles feel performative, and how embracing change can feel both scary and freeing. We’re also setting our New Year intentions and sharing what we’re leaving behind in 2025.

Grab your products, get comfortable, and let’s get into it.
