The Power of the Big Chop: A Journey Beyond Hair

In this episode, we delve into a powerful story of transformation and self-discovery through the lens of a Black woman’s hair journey. Our guest shares her deeply personal experience of deciding to chop off her long locks — not for fashion or trend, but as a symbolic release of the past decade’s challenges. As she prepares to turn 39, she finds herself embracing short curls and the lessons they embody about growth, strength, and acceptance. Join us as we explore the cultural significance of hair in the Black community and how one woman’s decision to let go became a spiritual rebirth.
