Show Notes

Thank you for joining us for Episode 27 of Alopecia Life with Anthony Carrigan. My first interaction with Anthony was on New Year's Eve back in 2014. At the time, I didn't know who he was. Jannica Olin, a story contributor for Head-On, Stories of Alopecia, thought he would be a great addition to the book, and after a conversation with him, it was easy to understand why. After all, he was calling me on a holiday while he was helping his mom move. If that wasn't an indication of what a great guy he was, it's become even more evident to me over the past 6 years while we've sat around campfires and mentored kids at camp that he is someone who shows up, engages, and truly cares. 

This interview was done back in February, when our world wasn't totally upside down with the pandemic. Anthony's optimism during the interview is a breath of fresh air right now, and he shares so much about alopecia, how his outlook on his appearance affected Hollywood's ability to accept looking different, and how we can all access deeper meaning when we embrace our unique difference.
