This was the day I took back my power.

In this video, I recorded myself right before and during the moment I shaved my head. It wasn’t about appearance—it was about shedding the weight of shame, fear, and helplessness. At the time, I was drowning in pain over my daughter’s addiction. I was holding the weight of everything I couldn’t fix.

Shaving my head wasn’t a breakdown. It was a breakthrough. A decision to stop trying to control the chaos and start facing the grief head-on. This was the moment I stopped performing strength and started choosing truth.

I didn’t know it then, but this would become a defining point in my journey—not just as a mother, but as a woman choosing to live, heal, and rise anyway.
