4 MAR 2020 · Being a teenager is hard enough. Just imagine what that process would be like if you woke up with no hair. An already confusing and emotional phase of life can be made worse by a very obvious and sometimes embarrassing condition. Like adults, teens may grieve the loss of their hair but how they do it may be very different. Their peers, their coping abilities, their digital resources, the influence of social media , their growing insecurities, their changing body, and a desire to fit in can significantly impact how teenagers grieve and overcome this trauma. In episode 10 we talk to the strong and inspiring Lili Graham who was diagnosed with alopecia areata at the age of 14. She dealt with alopecia for most of her high school career. One day she decided to shave it all off and live life as a bald teen. She started a youtube channel and an instagram page to help spread awareness about alopecia. Her goal is to spread awareness and provide a relatable and friendly resource to other alopecians!

21 JAN 2020 · With Alopecia its easy to feel out of control, like life is happening to us instead of for us. Often times we feel victim to our disease.

Inspired by Sarah Kohlmann's work on victim mindset, we dive into what it means to be in a victim mindset vs an empowered mindset. Join me in learning how to transition from a helpless to survivor.
14 JAN 2020 · When my Alopecia began I spent an embarrassing amount of money on wigs. Money I did not have. I had no idea what I was buying, what i needed, or what to search for online.

From the type of hair, to the kind of lace, and then the construction, how do you know what wig to buy?! Let's not forget that our hair loss is so unpredictable that our wig needs are always changing.
