Finding Strength in community

How Embracing a Circle of Women with Hair Loss Changed My Life


For many women, losing hair isn’t just a physical experience—it’s an emotional journey that can feel incredibly isolating. I know this because I’ve been through it myself. It took me years to even think that there could possible be anyone going through what I was. Once I did, I recognize that leaning into a community of women facing the same challenges could be a powerful first step toward healing and empowerment.


Once I found the courage to open up and connect with others, something unexpected happened: my perspective shifted. Instead of viewing hair loss as something that defined me, I started seeing it as a chapter in my story—one that connected me with resilient, strong, and inspiring women who were on a similar path or had different paths that lead us to the same space. Sharing our experiences, celebrating small victories, and supporting each other through setbacks was transformational.


This allowed me to feel seen and understood, and I wanted to give other women the same experience. That’s why I began offering confidence coaching specifically for women going through hair loss. Many people shared how they felt I was gifted with the ability to create a safe space for them to be vulnerable, process their emotions, and rediscover their confidence.


When I Started ShesUnCovered I knew I didn't want to rush anyone to make this decision. I personally know the mental strength it took to process telling anyone. Starting with one personal gave me the relief I needed and the personal cheerleader I needed in dark times. It also gave me a friend to shop with and be real with. Uncovered is not about being bald in public. It's about coming from behind shame, guilt or fear about you as a person. It's about the freedom to choose. It's about being free enough to explore all the options available to you and choosing which one you prefer best. Sometimes this takes experimenting, which may be overwhelming to sort through alone. The good news is, you don't have to decide alone.


If you’re nervous about taking that first step of connecting with many, consider starting with a coaching session. It’s a way to test the waters, get support, and learn how to navigate this journey in a compassionate, non-judgmental environment. You’re not alone—and sometimes, the biggest breakthroughs happen when we realize there’s a community ready to embrace us.
