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.

ABOUT YOUR HOST — SHARNI KNIGHTON
I’m Sharni Knighton, the creator and host of Tell Her. I was inspired to start this podcast after meeting so many extraordinary ordinary women through my hair loss and wig clinic. I wanted to give these women a space to share their stories and help them realize that what they see as “ordinary” is truly extraordinary.
As an educator, I also train stylists in the hair loss industry around the world — and I’m passionate about showing them who these incredible women are. I believe you should only step into this work if you’re ready to truly help and connect with the women you serve.
