Hi empowered warriors,
This week's empowered conversation is with Ly who has lived with Alopecia, a hair loss condition.
Ly shares with you her experience with this, and how she was embarrassed of this condition, felt as if her worth was attached to her hair and that hair on your head was the only way to be feminine.
Now Ly has recreated what "beauty and femininity" is to her.
Ly decided to shave her head, embrace who she was, and live a bold and fabulous life.
Her supportive partner even shaved his head as well to support her and encouraged her to do it.
Key points we talk about:
- Symptoms of alopecia
- Her journey with this when in her teens
- The side effects of her confidence and self esteem
- The moment she decided to embrace it
- Life living with Alopecia
- Her experience with dating and love with Alopecia
- Her advice for others facing this

Remember, empowered people, empower others.
