About This Podcast

Having had alopecia areata since the age of two, Lindsey Sullivan is very nearly almost bald or very nearly almost has a full head of hair. It all depends on how you look at it. Everyone has that thing about them that they have had to learn to love--perhaps they're still struggling with it. Through snippets of her own story and interviews with inspiring guests, Lindsey explores the ups and downs of alopecia areata--and other secret super powers.
