I'm sorry to hear that, Lauren! A very good friend of mine had alopecia, and I remember how stressed she was about it. Fortunately, she eventually found healing, and I hope you will, too. Please take good care of yourself.

I often feel torn between extremes, too, but I'm slowly making progress. I'm finding more balance in my life and allowing myself to rest as much as my body needs.

Thank you! It’s so good to read your comment. It took me a minute to navigate through the shock/stress of losing my hair and everyone around me telling me I needed to lower my stress levels. I’m getting better (and hair growth is slowly happening). I’m so glad you’re making progress - and trying to give yourself what you need.

I really love this and loved seeing you pop into my inbox. I've also been grappling with trying to find the middle way and not always oscillate between two extremes. It's a practice, isn't it? Much love xx

Nikki, it’s seriously so good to hear from you. It’s so challenging and takes *mindful* practice. But I’m finding the middle to be a really comfy place. I’m curious to see what I keep learning here. <3
