Starting the conversation, why I'm here, and what this podcast is about. For over 20 years, I have been a hair stylist. In those years, I have had many clients from all different walks of life. I have learned a lot about them and more importantly, about myself. At this time in my life, I want to give back to women and share what I have learned about living, about life, about myself, and about what matters to us. This podcast is my way of sharing what is important, what is happening, and my thoughts. Each week, I hope to bring a new topic that is important to women to the forefront and have a conversation with my guests. Join me on this journey. Hair We Go!
