So let’s just say that hair is kind of my thing. I love playing with mine and so does my Mom. But for the past few years something has been nagging at me about my hair…I wanted it to be Pink. Yes, you read that correctly, PINK. Now anyone with blonde hair nows that I am out of my blessed mind because getting the right shade of blonde is the work of pure wizardry…and I was there, my favorite shade of blonde. I’ve been there for pretty much majority of my late twenties and early thirties (Dear God did I just put that age into a sentence…when did I hit “that” bracket). Anyways, I’m there, loving life and all my golden locks but something is still nagging at me. 

Ok so let me backstory just a little more. Experimenting with hair is not a new thing for me, remember my Mom is a hairdresser so if there was a trend we tried it. Big chunky highlights, Perms, Triple Barrel Curls, been there-done that. But I’m not a kid anymore. I’m an adult, in my thirties (gasp…again with the age thing) and I’m a business owner. My husband and I both run very successful businesses which is awesome but it also means we are in the public eye, a lot. 

Here’s the dilemma you see. One of my core principles and beliefs, one of the things that makes me pound my chest and gets me so hyped, is seeing other women love theirselves and speak their truths with true vigor. To see women who are positive and uplifting and achieving every single little thing they want in this world. I have always strived to speak my truth, keep it real (my Dad says I was born without a filter, sorry Dad….my bad) and remind women that if no one believes in them that I can one person who always will. I will be your cheerleader sister, I got your back!

Do you see the problem? I’m chanting my cheerleader cry but inside I’m too scared to color my hair. I was scared of shame, judgment, not being seen as professional or educated or serious. I wasn’t confident that me, the girl who prides herself on radiating enough confidence that anyone around her could pick some up just by pure osmosis could pull this off.

No way girlfriend, this is not how I go down. 

So I did it. I colored my hair Pink. I took my absolutely beautiful blonde hair and turned it pink. 

And guess what? I love it. 

It was almost this little switch of power that turned on inside of me that made me want to scream from the rooftop all Julie Andrews Sound of Music mountain style, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING! Because I can, and you can too. You truly can do anything, be anyone and achieve whatever you want if you decide to. All you have to do is get out of your own head and do it.

So you may not want to color your hair pink and that’s ok but whatever your “pink hair” is that is holding you back, here’s your sign that it’s time to move. It’s time to choose you and your dreams. Please know that I know it sounds scary but me and my pink hair will be right here waiting for you with open arms!
