TRICH TALKS: SYDNEY SOUTHERN

Sydney @syd_.44 is a college student who has lived with trichotillomania since she was a child. Throughout her journey she has focused on advocacy, sharing her experience with those closest to her as well as those she hasn’t met yet by being on this podcast. Sydney's main message is this: trichotillomania is something she has but it does not determine her beauty or self-worth and it doesn’t have to determine those things for you either. You can live a beautiful life while living with trichotillomania or any other mental health disorder. —This episode is brought to you by HabitAware.
