In this podcast episode, Carmen passionately discusses the topic of alopecia awareness.

By delving into personal stories and sharing valuable insights, Carmen's episode serves as a platform to raise awareness about alopecia and promote acceptance and support for those affected by it.

Episode 10 brings my first guest who isn't biologically obligated to love me. My friend, McKenna Reitz is not only an inspiring Alopecia Warrior, but a TedX speaker, an AP Psych teacher, and just all around powerhouse of a human being! McKenna and I talk about what the early days of her hair loss journey were like and how far she has come since that original diagnosis.  She shares that a turning point for her regarding her outlook was actually a quote from none other than the character Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean, "The problem is not the problem itself. The problem is your attitude about the problem."

Whether you have ever personally experienced Alopecia or hair loss yourself, the lessons Mckenna shares will resonate with anyone who is or has overcome lifes lowest moments.
