Hey Heal Squad! Today Chris Appleton is with Maria and if you thought you knew his story… think again. Beyond the exterior of being a celebrity hairstylist (he’s worked on some of the most iconic women in the world like Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, and Ariana Grande), Chris is opening up about a side of his life the world has rarely heard. In this episode, Chris goes deep into the generational trauma, childhood labels, and bullying that shaped him at age six, and the years he spent abandoning himself in order to perform for the world. He also speaks candidly about the night he tried to take his life after coming out: a moment that was both devastating and, shockingly, the beginning of his reinvention. But Chris’s story doesn’t end there. He was rescued, and that moment became his second chance to live authentically. This is all detailed in his new book, Your Roots Don’t Define You, and reminds all of us that becoming who you really are is always worth the fight. If you’re on your own path of transformation, this is a must-listen. Just a heads up, it’s a very honest and vulnerable conversation, so please listen with care.
HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:
-
Reinvention Begins With Returning to Yourself: Chris reminded us that reinvention is about going back to the version of yourself you’ve abandoned & real transformation begins when we choose to see ourselves without apology.
-
How to Break Generational Patterns: Trauma can get passed down quietly through silence, survival, and emotional suppression. But healing can move forward through awareness, therapy, and refusing to live by the labels you were given. It can stop with YOU!
