In this episode of Season of Stuck, Deanna sits down with Jules Heron, founder of Hair for Humans, a Portland-based salon specializing in gender-affirming haircuts. During their conversation, they explore how our relationship with our hair can deeply impact our identity and sense of self—and how the right hairstyle can ultimately help us move from stuck to unstuck. Jules also shares actionable tips on how to work with your stylist to get a haircut and feels authentically you.

Tune in to learn about:

• Why hair is about so much more than aesthetics—and how it impacts how we see ourselves and move through the world
• The importance of finding a stylist who will listen, understand, and co-create your vision
• How to break down your desired haircut to get exactly what you want

Thoughts from the episode:

• "I'm not the deciding factor of what is gonna make you feel confident in your hair. I don't have to walk around with your hair on my head."
• "Your brain just wants to be in the familiar. And so the familiar—even though it's miserable—it wants you to stay stuck there because it's predictable."
• "The opposite of anxiety is not calm. The opposite of anxiety is creative—because anxiety is just creative energy that is just working against you."
