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.

In this episode, Lindsey has the opportunity to combine her passions for theater and connecting with others via Very Nearly Almosts. She spoke with Becca Schneider. Her solo show TRICH, which chronicles her experience with trichotillomania, was the top-selling play at the 2021 United Solo Theatre Festival at Theatre Row in NYC, winning both the Best Actress and Audience Choice Awards. It’s now performing regionally and is headed to Allentown later this month. Becca and Lindsey connected over their enthusiasm for the arts–but also over the interesting similarities between these two very different types of hair loss.
