In Episode 43 of It’s Not About Your Hair, we’re leaning into some big heart questions: What does it really mean to love your neighbor as yourself—especially if self-love feels out of reach? Who is our neighbor, anyway? And how do manifestation and prayer overlap when it comes to aligning with the true desires of our hearts?

We explore the difference between material desires and the soul-deep longing for peace, love, and purpose. I challenge you to look at unforgiveness in a new way—what if the grudge you’re holding against someone else is actually rooted in a hidden unforgiveness toward yourself?

This episode is a reflection on faith, identity, and the freedom that comes with accepting that the same Creator who made this vast, beautiful universe also made you—with love, on purpose. And when you can fully receive that truth? You’re free to truly love others, too.

Let’s talk heart, healing, and the kind of love that starts within.

In this powerful session of It’s Not Your Business—a mini series of the It’s Not About Your Hair podcast—we’re talking mindset, burnout, and what might really be blocking you from the life and business you’ve always dreamed of behind the chair.

I’m also sharing the heart behind my online course, created specifically for stylists who feel stuck, uncertain, or just plain exhausted. Whether you’re struggling with curl confidence, unsure of what your clients truly need, or questioning if this career can still light you up—this episode is for you.

If you’re ready to shift your mindset, reconnect with your passion, and finally get clear on what’s next, let’s dive in together. You don’t have to do it alone.

In this episode 41 of It’s Not About Your Hair, I’m sharing reflections from my recent trip to Austin and the inspiring Innersense Founders Summit. We’re diving deep into how unmet expectations can hijack our emotions—and how gratitude, awareness, and the people we surround ourselves with can raise our emotional state and shift our perspective.

Let’s talk about the power of flipping the switch: moving from feeling powerless to powerful, from comparison to self-connection, and from frustration to celebration. Unrealistic expectations often steal our joy and blur the progress we’ve made. This conversation is your reminder to anchor in gratitude, stop the comparison, and trust the beauty of your own journey.

Tune in and get grounded in what really matters.

We’re back, and it feels so good! Welcome to Season 3 of It’s Not About Your Hair: Talking All Things Hair, Heart, and Happiness.

In this kickoff episode, I’m getting real about why we took a long break, what 2024 taught me, and how life sometimes demands that we pause, recalibrate, reflect, reframe, and visualize what we truly want next.

2024 was the most successful year I’ve had as a business owner—but it was also a year of deep loss, big transitions, and powerful lessons. I’m sharing the highs, the lows, and how I’ve chosen to see all of it as fuel for growth.

We’ll also be talking about what’s coming up on the podcast this season, embracing fear, moving with intention, and staying aligned with your heart, your vision, and your flow.

Because remember, this podcast isn’t just about hair—it’s about mindset, heart, happiness, and how we keep showing up for the life we want, even when it gets messy.

Hit play. Let’s grow.

And that’s a wrap on this season of It’s Not About Your Hair! Looking back on all the episodes, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for this journey. It’s been so fun, full of lessons, and honestly, it’s taught me more about perseverance and perspective than I ever expected. Thank you for joining me as I shared (or over-shared) about my hair, my heart, and the pursuit of happiness. In this season finale, we’re recapping some of my favorite moments and diving into how you, too, are capable of overcoming. Like the bald eagle, sometimes we have to start fresh and soar higher than we thought possible. Thank you for an amazing year. I can’t wait to see you again when the podcast returns. Until then, keep growing, keep shining, and keep embracing who you are.

Whether you’re 19 or 90, Sophie’s story reminds us that we can keep going, even when the path ahead is uncertain. Join us for this powerful conversation on faith, resilience, and moving forward.
