Thank you for listening to this heavier episode of Morbid Hair History where I aim to expose the the disturbing use and weaponization of hair during WWII, and the importance of understanding the role hair plays throughout history.

Is my immune system not as resilient in my 30s as it was in my 20s or am I just more aware of how my body feels? I'm not exactly sure, but I do know that I have a much healthier relationship with calling out sick from the salon when necessary.
this from the vault episode of Morbid Hair History is the first one I ever recorded and posted to social media before uploading them to the podcast. Unfortunately I caught a nasty cold this week and couldn't record a new episode, but that doesn't mean you should miss out on your favorite morbid content. I hope you enjoy this episode that started it all!
Have you watched the iconic series Mad Men? It has a ton of lessons about marketing and you won't even feel like you're trying to learn anything while you binge watch this addictive series. I'm almost wondering if we should do a mini podcast series on the marketing lessons that stand out and tie back into your business strategy as a hairstylist. If you're interested in the idea, let me know!

TLDR; I am a glutton for punishment and have overcommitted myself... again. So for now I'm putting the Morbid hair History Series on hold while i create some bomb education! Don't worry, this si super short term and temporary, but I need a little extra time to make sure this new education resource is perfect for you to get time back in your business and attract clients without passing out business cards or spending hours on social media every week.

I hope this episode gives you some tips for setting aside time for yourself this holiday season. I will be on vacation next week so there will be no regular episode, but I will still have Morbid Hair History on Monday!
Sorry for the background noise, I didn't realize my external mic wasn't working until I was editing.

I hope this episode helps you feel more unity and kindness amongst a world full of division. Don't let media win. It might feel like there is a lack of diversity within small towns, but I promise there are more rational thinkers than you realize, you just can't hear them through the noise. You hold a power within yourself to do good within your everyday life by focusing on the things you can control.Sources:https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10202797/
