Why hello there...
Calling all follicularly challenged friends and fellow hair-loss heroes!
Hi. I imagine you’re probably asking yourself, ”Who is this woman and why would I bother to follow her?” Well, normally, I’m a thoughtful, funny, active, pretty, successful executive, but heck that’s all out the window right now. Why, you ask? It’s a doozy. After a bout of COVID-19, my immune system decided to join the alopecia club and declare war on my hair follicles, producing a massive brain/hair wire-crossing, all because of my underlying Hashimoto’s autoimmune disorder.
COVID strikes again...
In retrospect, I started losing my hair just a few weeks after I had tested positive for the virus (man, I wished I had saved that test wand so I could take it down to a New Orleans voodoo lady and make it pay). The waves (hah) of acknowledgment happened slowly, and looking back, it is fascinating how long it took my conscious brain to recognize what my unconscious brain was doing - making me bald. And not just a little bald spot here and there. It was a diagnosis of Alopecia Universalis - total loss of all my hair, like everywhere.
What is this blog all about?
I’ll tell my little backstory here in “parts” (wow, I’m cracking myself up), so you can catch up with what happened in this hair-shedding spiral I’ve been through and follow along as we figure more of it out.
Let me tell you, friends, it's a wild ride, but I'm here to share my journey with you, from the hilarious hair-raising moments to the profound insights I've gleaned along the way.

P.S. Pro-tip: You might want to start with reading my About page. You'll learn more about my motivation here and how I'm hoping to help. If you don't have time for that, then please start reading my blog starting from the oldest post, so that you hear the story in chronological order.
