One Year Bold: Embracing Alopecia
Before there were three years bold, there was year one. đź’™
One Year Bold: Embracing Alopecia is the story of my first year fully embracing life as a bald woman—the fear, grief, acceptance, faith, confidence, and freedom that came with learning to see myself differently.
This isn't a story about alopecia suddenly becoming easy. It's an honest look at what it meant to stop hiding, face the emotions that came with hair loss, and begin embracing the woman I saw in the mirror.
Inside you'll find:
- My personal alopecia journey
- An introduction to different forms of alopecia
- Reflections on grief, denial, anger, acceptance, and embracing bald
- My journey from fear to faith
- Guided journal prompts for your own reflection
- Tips for feeling beautiful with alopecia
- Scriptures and encouragement
- Alopecia support and resources
Originally published in 2024, One Year Bold is being re-released for Alopecia Awareness Month 2026 as a reminder of where this journey began—and how much can change when we give ourselves permission to keep becoming.
SPECIAL ALOPECIA AWARENESS MONTH PRICE: $7

Digital + Printable PDF
Whether you're newly diagnosed, years into your journey, or somewhere in between, I hope these pages remind you that you don't have to have it all figured out to begin embracing yourself.
Your hair may be part of your story. It doesn't get to write the ending. đź’™
