You talk about a classic triple play—this episode is it. Each of these powerhouse women have been my guest in the past, but I could not resist the opportunity to bring these three best friends together for one epic conversation. So settle in and get ready for some laughs, some insight, and some pure inspiration.

One is an international hairstyling legend and five-time Hall of Fame award winner from Australia. Another is affectionately known as The Balay Lama, she's from the US and is the founder of Sunlights. And the third, representing the UK, is a Wella Top Artist, Intercoiffure Icon Color Award winner, and NAHA Master Stylist Award winner.

I’m thrilled to have all three of these major players at the same time on Headcases. Here are the incredible Three Amigas: Sharon Blain, Candy Shaw, and Sonya Dove!

I had such a great talk with my guest this week. She is a powerhouse influencer with a mission to elevate and amplify the real life impact of artists, salon owners, and educators on all of us.

She hosts her podcast, coaching, and personal development retreats under the Hair Love University umbrella. I can't wait to share with you this week’s guest: Elizabeth Faye.

• Elizabeth shares the emotional story of how a hairdresser changed her world right when she needed it at 12 years old

• She became ill during the four years of filming the Amazon Prime documentary "Hairstylists Change the World" and had to find her own tools to get better. She now shares these tools with other stylists through her retreats and coaching sessions

• Her mantra is “when you feel good, you do good”

• Find Elizabeth Faye online for her coaching sessions, her Hair Love Retreats, and her podcast Hair Love Radio

Welcome to another episode of Head Cases! This week’s guest is a little different from the norm, and his story is one you’ll never forget. Before I introduce him, let me share a quick story. Back when I used to sail, we had this tradition after races, we’d hand out two awards at the bar: the Aw Shit Award for the one who really messed up, and the Done Good Award for the one who nailed it. And let’s be honest, we’ve all had our “Aw Shit” moments in life, as well as those “Done Good” ones.

When I first heard about Lionel Kearse, I knew I had to bring him on. His life transformation is one of the most dramatic “Aw Shit to Done Good” journeys I’ve ever heard. I won’t give away the details - you’ll hear it best from him, but let me say this: if there was ever someone who embodied the idea that life has no remote -you’ve got to get up and change it yourself, it’s Lionel. So let’s get into this week’s Head Case with my good friend, Lionel Kearse.
