ABOUT YOUR HOST — SHARNI KNIGHTON

I’m Sharni Knighton, the creator and host of Tell Her. I was inspired to start this podcast after meeting so many extraordinary ordinary women through my hair loss and wig clinic. I wanted to give these women a space to share their stories and help them realize that what they see as “ordinary” is truly extraordinary.

As an educator, I also train stylists in the hair loss industry around the world — and I’m passionate about showing them who these incredible women are. I believe you should only step into this work if you’re ready to truly help and connect with the women you serve.

In this heartfelt solo episode of the Tell Her podcast, Sharni opens up about recent reflections on privacy, the shift away from chasing online validation, and the quiet joy of living more intentionally.

After sharing a glimpse into a spontaneous trip to New York with her daughter Molly, Sharni recounts a powerful story from their journey home, sitting beside a woman paralysed by an extreme fear of flying.

What unfolds is a moving reminder of the strength found in vulnerability, the power of choosing compassion over judgment, and the profound connections that can be made when we simply take the time to see each other.

This is an episode about holding space for others, even at 30,000 feet — and the beautiful, unexpected lessons that can come from it.

In this profoundly moving episode of Tell Her, we sit down with Jo from Durham—a courageous mother and wife—who opens up about her journey after being diagnosed with cancer at the age of 53. Today, Jo lives with the knowledge that her cancer is now untreatable, and she’s been given just 8 months to live. Despite this heartbreaking prognosis, Jo shares her story with grace, humor, and an unwavering determination to make a difference.

She speaks candidly about the challenges she faced within the medical system, the frustration of having her symptoms initially dismissed as hormonal, and her mission to ensure other women are seen, heard, and properly diagnosed. Her powerful message is clear: Health Before Hormones.

Through laughter, tears, and raw honesty, Jo reminds us of the importance of self-advocacy, comprehensive health checks, and living life boldly—even in the face of unimaginable odds.

This episode is a tribute to Jo’s strength, her voice, and her unwavering fight to leave a legacy of awareness, courage, and hope.
