How to stop your past dictating your future (& let go of your inner critic) with Chris Appleton

Today’s episode is about reinvention, confidence, and creating a comeback, not the kind that looks good on the outside, but the kind that actually changes how you see yourself. I’m joined by Chris Appleton, celebrity hairstylist. He’s worked with some of the most famous and successful women in the world, like Kim Kardashian, JLo and Ariana Grande but behind all the glamour, he’s been on a much bigger journey of reinvention and self discovery. In this conversation, we talk about insecurity, self doubt, identity, and how to stop letting your past, your background, or your inner critic dictate your future. I hope you love it.
