Tell Her - Extraordinary Ordinary Women
In Tell Her, I sit down with inspiring women, many of whom I’ve met as clients in my hair loss clinic, to explore their incredible life journeys. Each guest reflects on what they would tell their past, present, and future self if they could offer her heartfelt advice.
Our conversations shine a light on the resilience and strength of ordinary women doing extraordinary things. From navigating health challenges to surviving domestic abuse, undergoing treatments, and balancing work amidst adversity, these stories reveal the courage and wisdom that often go unnoticed.
Join us for real, raw, and uplifting discussions that celebrate the beauty of perseverance and the power of shared experiences.

From Misdiagnosis to Mission: How Leah Turned Her Cancer Journey into a Career Supporting Women with Hair Loss
Welcome to The Tell Her Podcast—where extraordinary, ordinary women share the raw, real stories that shaped them.
In this episode, we meet Leah, who showed up to train with me as a hair loss specialist just days after finishing cancer treatment. Why? Because she had a plan to help other women, and nothing—not even breast cancer—was going to stop her.
Leah was misdiagnosed, brushed off by a doctor who missed the red flags. But she didn’t take no for an answer. She fought through every setback, and even on the days she didn’t feel like getting up, she did it anyway.
Now, she’s using everything she’s been through to support other women facing hair loss with empathy, care, and deep purpose.
This episode is a powerful reminder that purpose can grow from pain—and that the most inspiring stories often come from the toughest chapters.
