Becca Fiske Hair

I enjoyed another stroll on hair memory lane.. Sharing a few vivid sightings I saw along the way.

It’s just dawned on me that taking these trips through my past work flows allows room for gratitude. Gratitude for the stages & transformations.

Gratitude and also 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳. Relief that have reached a place in my career that I can create some hope for the industry. We don’t have to work ourselves to death, miss out on our favorite people in life, or be forced to focus on hair you don’t get excited about doing.

There’s a way to salon that gives us freedom, that gives us support. There’s a way to salon where we are in the drivers seat, while also surrounded by a community.

And that way can literally look like whatever we need it to look like.

I said to my girl last night, “I’m proud of you.”

And I mean that for you, too. I realized last night that we all deserve to hear that more.

Give yourself a hug. You’ve done so well these last few years, our universe has been on quite a trip!

I’m certain that someone you don’t even know is watching, sees you for who are, and loves every bit of you. Keep on sharing that 😉

(And here’s a picture of the sweetest, most ornery, gentle old man, Clyde, to start your Friday off with a smile!)

In 2019 I had a huge “A-ha moment”

I was working 5 days a week behind the chair, double booked, eating when I could, debating my worth based on another’s budget, unsure of where/when/how to take the next step in my business, and destined to be a hamster on a wheel.

I felt so lost, and empty.

Cue 💣

I want to feel significant. I also want to feel accepted. Those two feelings are in contrast with each other..So, how do I reach those desired feelings?

I disrupt. I work on doing hard things because my heart feels full when I do, but also - because someone has to. I stand up for beliefs I have, even against loved ones. Ultimately, practicing to influence my community and those issues around me on a daily basis is painful; but this is how I know I’m walking my true path. No pain, no gain. (And let me remind you, pain and suffering are very different 😉)

That feeling of acceptance comes in from my childhood and always feeling less than. When I feel like I’m blending in, I feel safe - I feel “worthy” - hence why acceptance is a desired feeling. However, it’s the antonym to my wanting to feel significant.

What I’m continuing to understand since that a-ha moment in 2019, and my very first call with - is that feeling of acceptance needs to come from within. From myself.

How can I accept myself and use those traits to work in my favor? I don’t know, but every day I’m working on it.

Judgement
Shame

Are you..weird? I am. Always have been, really.

What if, in order to start living our lives more authentically, we just decide to accept it. Our “weirdness.”

We wake up one day, and just decide to ‘send it’ - things that were passionate about, areas of talent, to share our weaknesses.

Every single one of us is weird, peculiar, unusually incredible, in some way.

How much pain & suffering would be diminished by accepting each other’s weirdness?

But, what is “weird” or “different” anyway? Isn’t it just an idea made out of fear of exposing someone else’s own weirdness?

Let’s imagine that all went away..
That..
We all accepted..
We all lived.
We all loved.

Wouldn’t that be.. beautiful?
