13. “F*ck Your Fear”: Real Talk with Sarai, the Platinum Giraffe
Welcome back to the second season of The Social Stylist Podcast! If you’ve ever asked the question “what’s an ‘appropriate’ way for me to show up?” this episode is for you. Today’s guest is going to break you out of that box you’ve put yourself in and say “fuck your fear.” Can you guess who i’m talking about?
We’re back with a bang with a very special guest: Sirai, AKA “The Platinum Giraffe.” Sirai has been making waves in the hair industry by leading with unapologetic authenticity and no f*cking fear. Her community, The Balanced Stylist Society, is taking hair education beyond technique and into self-care and embodiment.
Sirai has an incredible capacity for staying open and bringing her darkest moment to light. She makes a lovely distinction that I want to pull out for you here: “Vulnerability is sharing what you're currently going through.Transparency is sharing what you've been through.” So she shares what it was like to tell her audience her current struggles with an eating disorder and how that felt entirely different than sharing past struggles.
I’m so excited for you to tune in because I really you’re going to feel lighter and more audacious by the end of this episode!
In this episode, we cover:
- The importance of holding space for mental health while running a business
- Taking messy and imperfect action to build genuine connections
- The value of sharing personal struggles and stories with your audience.
- Balancing social media consumption and creating intentional content.
