  • Hair Loss, Identity & Confidence: Honest Conversations About Illness, Wigs & Feeling Like Yourself Again | Aria Pilar, Moxi Loxi
    Feb 11 2026

    Hair loss is more than cosmetic — it’s emotional, personal, and deeply tied to identity.

    In this honest and compassionate episode of WTF Just Happened — Life Is Messy, Let’s Talk About It, Sada and Hilary sit down with Aria Pilar, founder of Moxi Loxi, to talk openly about hair loss, confidence, illness, hormones, aging, and what it truly feels like when the hair you’ve always known begins to change.

    Aria has spent decades supporting women experiencing hair loss due to autoimmune disease, chronic illness, menopause, stress, weight loss, GLP-1 medications, aging, and trauma. Her work goes far beyond wigs and toppers — it centers on dignity, emotional support, and helping women reclaim confidence during some of life’s most vulnerable seasons.

    This conversation is grounded, empathetic, and deeply real.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • Why hair loss can feel devastating and isolating
    • How illness, hormones, stress, and medications impact hair
    • Hair loss in young women and teens — and the emotional toll
    • The stigma surrounding wigs, toppers, and hair systems
    • Modern solutions for thinning hair, extensions, toppers, and wigs
    • How hair loss affects identity, femininity, and self-trust
    • Supporting children and young adults through hair loss

    Sada shares her personal experience navigating hair loss alongside grief and supporting her daughter through illness-related hair loss, while Aria offers compassionate, practical guidance for women who feel overwhelmed and unsure where to begin.

    This episode is for you if:

    • You’re experiencing hair thinning or hair loss
    • You’re navigating illness, hormones, menopause, or stress
    • Your child or teen is dealing with hair loss
    • You’re curious about wigs or hair systems but feel unsure

  • Starting Over Financially: What Women Need to Know After Divorce, Death, or Financial Betrayal w/Michelle Perry Higgins, CFT™
    Jan 28 2026

    What happens when you suddenly become responsible for all the money — after divorce, the death of a spouse, or the discovery of a financial betrayal you never saw coming?

    In this powerful and necessary episode of WTF Just Happened — Life Is Messy, Let’s Talk About It, Sada and Hilary sit down with Michelle Perry Higgins, Principal and Financial Advisor at California Financial Advisors and a Certified Financial Therapist, to unpack the emotional and practical realities of starting over financially as a woman.

    With nearly 30 years of experience, Michelle works at the intersection of money and psychology, helping women navigate divorce, widowhood, financial trauma, and major life transitions. Her approach goes far beyond numbers — addressing why money can feel overwhelming, paralyzing, or terrifying after loss or betrayal, and how to move forward with clarity and confidence.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • What “starting over financially” really looks like after divorce or the death of a spouse
    • Why money decisions feel impossible when you’re grieving or emotionally overwhelmed
    • Financial infidelity and hidden debt — what it is and how to uncover it
    • The shame, fear, and loss of trust that often follow financial betrayal
    • Why so many women were never taught financial literacy
    • How financial responsibility often shifts suddenly — and painfully — to women
    • Why pulling your credit report is a critical first step
    • The importance of knowing your accounts, logins, and full financial picture
    • How to find a financial advisor who feels safe, clear, and supportive
    • Why women often give up assets too quickly just to end the pain
    • Understanding money trauma and financial PTSD
    • Creating a “safety bucket” to feel secure during market uncertainty
    • Common estate planning mistakes families don’t discover until it’s too late
    • How to teach kids healthy money habits and break generational patterns

    Hilary shares her lived experience of uncovering massive hidden debt and navigating financial betrayal during divorce, while Sada opens up about managing finances alone after the sudden death of her husband — including probate confusion and learning everything while deep in grief.

    This episode is essential listening if you are:

    • Going through a divorce
    • A widow or newly single
    • Recovering from financial infidelity
    • Afraid of money or financial decisions
    • Raising kids and wanting to break generational money patterns

  • Makeup, Midlife & Confidence: Feeling Polished at Any Age | Nicole Wagner
    Jan 21 2026

    What if makeup wasn’t about looking younger — but about feeling confident, polished, and like yourself at every stage of life?

    In this episode of WTF Just Happened — Life Is Messy, Let’s Talk About It, Sada and Hilary sit down with Nicole Wagner, professional makeup artist, educator, beauty entrepreneur, and influencer with over 20 years in the beauty industry.

    Together, they talk honestly (and hilariously) about makeup, aging, confidence, and why less really is more in midlife. Nicole shares her journey from discovering makeup as a creative outlet to building a career focused on helping women feel empowered — not overwhelmed — by beauty.

    This episode dives into how skin changes in your 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond, and why your makeup routine should evolve with you, not work against you. It’s real, relatable, and full of practical advice you can actually use.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • How makeup trends shift as we age
    • Why confidence often increases with age — and how makeup can reflect that
    • Skin texture, hydration, and pigmentation changes in your 30s and 40s
    • Why skincare matters more than piling on products
    • Creating lift and brightness without heavy makeup
    • Why tightlining, lashes, and cream products are game-changers
    • How to look polished for everyday life (not Instagram perfection)
    • Letting go of outdated beauty rules
    • Why feeling good matters more than looking “young”
    • Embracing aging, confidence, and self-acceptance

    Nicole breaks down simple, realistic makeup tips for real women with real lives — whether you’re heading to work, running errands, or getting ready for a night out.

    If you’ve ever felt confused by beauty trends, frustrated by makeup that doesn’t sit right anymore, or ready to simplify your routine, this episode is for you.

    Because confidence isn’t about age.
    It’s about knowing who you are.
