In this episode of the You Define Beauty Podcast, I sit down with Jane Godwin, the 2027 You Define Beauty Scholarship recipient, to talk about her journey with alopecia universalis, an autoimmune condition that causes hair loss. Jane opens up about growing up feeling different, struggling with her identity and self-esteem, and experiencing anxiety surrounding the questions and attention her condition brought. For years, she felt like she had to hide parts of herself, from worrying about her wig being noticed to avoiding showing her face on FaceTime with friends. But Jane’s story is about so much more than hair loss. It’s about learning to separate your identity from the things that make you feel different, finding confidence in who you are, and realizing that you never have to hide to be worthy of being seen. Join Jane and I for an honest and empowering conversation about alopecia, self-esteem, identity, anxiety, confidence, and redefining what beauty means from within.
