Hair salons are some of the businesses that have been hit hardest during the pandemic and with that in mind, Jessica sits down with her longtime hairstylist and amazing friend, Corey Sleet! They have a relaxed conversation about careers, dating, hair, health, and everything in between. Corey shares some thoughts on the roles of a hairstylist as a psychologist, creating a judgment-free zone for clients, and why the people that cut your hair know everything! We get more personal with Corey too, as he shares his experiences on the long and winding road of dating, his love of his family and spending time with them, and the part that his faith plays in his life. We even get to touch on some of the more difficult aspects of life in 2020, with Corey reflecting on the ubiquity and divisiveness of political conversations, fear of the unknown, and more. A strong theme that comes through during our conversation, and one that Corey underlines, is the importance of vulnerability. We consider what it is like to date in your 40s, what it means to try and remain connected and find love during the quarantine, and Corey’s belief in the power of therapy. So for all of this and a whole more realness, listen in with us!
