Why I Dyed My Hair Copper and Chose "BOLD" as My Word for 2025

Let’s get one thing straight: cutting off my hair and dyeing it copper wasn’t just a spur-of-the-moment decision—it was a full-on transformation. I thought long and hard about it, and here’s the truth: I’ve spent the last 42 years feeling like a snail, hiding in my shell, moving cautiously through life. But not anymore.

It’s butterfly season, baby. 🦋

Dyeing my hair red symbolizes stepping into my power, claiming the space I deserve, and embodying the vibrant aura I’ve always felt inside but didn’t always show to the world. It’s my way of saying, I see myself, and I love what I see.

What Does "BOLD" Mean to Me?

For me, "bold" is about being fierce, fearless, and confident enough to take the steps—no matter how tough the outcome might be. It’s about not just dreaming big but actually going for it.

This year, I’m embodying "bold" by:

  • Financial Growth: Doubling my income and growing my social media following to connect with even more amazing women.

  • Fearless Actions: Whether it’s trying a new recipe (and hoping it’s edible!) or launching a new project, I’m all in.

  • Living Audaciously: Showing up authentically, taking risks, and creating a life that feels true to who I am.
