S02 #128 Courageous Duchess: Life, Hair Loss, and Doing it Afraid | Gail Mabalane

Loading player...
Don't wait for courage, because 'doing it afraid' has all the answers.

In this episode, Carmen Murray, Founder of Conscious LeadHERS, sits down with Gail Mabalane, the inspiring founder of Ethnogenics, a vitamin-enriched hair care brand. Gail shares her deeply personal journey with hair loss and alopecia, which began three years ago and led her to create a brand focused on moisture, nourishment, protection, and regrowth. What started as a personal struggle quickly revealed itself as a common issue faced by many women, inspiring Gail to be part of the solution.

Gail talks about the emotional impact of hair loss, the importance of “doing it afraid", and how she navigates the challenges of motherhood, career, and personal fears with resilience and bravery. The conversation also delves into the significance of sisterhood and community support, highlighting how Gail’s journey has empowered other women to embrace their own stories.

It’s a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and empowerment.
