About the Episode:
Trista explores what it was like to come to terms with a part of her appearance that is not considered the beauty standard, while actively participating in the entertainment industry. She talks about what it was like to try to hide this part of herself, and what happened when she finally took the cover off her big secret. She helps others understand the steps she took that could be applied to any ‘big secret’ that we try hiding to move from shame and fear to owning it. We discuss what it meant to truly feel beautiful, what happened inside her body, and how others responded to her. This is a powerful episode that can empower the listener to take what they may view as a shortcoming and make it their beauty superpower!
Guest Bio:
Trista is a Canadian singer songwriter and film artist. She is currently promoting her new debut single called SMILE. Her music video is coming soon with an EP this year. She has been singing for as long as she can remember and performing ever since her mom forced her to enter a singing contest at the Santa Claus parade when she was nine. Long story short...she won! Trista discusses losing all the hair on her body when she was 10 years old due to an autoimmune disorder called alopecia. This led to her writing, directing and starring in a film called FOXY. It is a documentation of her experience with alopecia and through the filmmaking process learning to celebrate what I thought was her biggest flaw. It was later broadcasted on national TV. Though in a constant battle with my ADD, she is currently pursuing music.
