.From Surviving to Blooming

For more than a decade, I struggled in silence through perimenopause without a diagnosis. I knew something was happening in my body , hot flashes, exhaustion, mood swings, hair loss , but I didn’t have answers.

During that time, I also underwent gastric bypass surgery (2018) thinking I was taking control of my health. Instead, I found myself battling years of poor nutritional intake and an eating disorder that nearly broke me.

In the middle of all that chaos, my hair, a symbol of my confidence ,began to thin and fall out. Each strand I lost felt like another piece of myself disappearing.

The Turning Point

After finally receiving a diagnosis of menopause, I began healing both physically and emotionally. I entered eating disorder recovery, rebuilt my relationship with food and my body, and started to rediscover who I was outside of being a caregiver, mother, and professional.

When I tried my first wig, something unexpected happened.
It wasn’t just about covering hair loss. It was about seeing myself again.
Each wig became a crown , a way to express confidence, mood, and identity.
