Today’s episode of Trich Talks is a special one.
Barbara reads from The Trichster Diaries and she officially comes to the end of the book. In this episode, she opens up about what it was like sharing her trichotillomania with her husband (then her new boyfriend!)—something that felt scary, vulnerable, and ultimately so freeing.
He even makes a little cameo, which makes this episode extra meaningful.
To the listeners, thank you for being here, and for being part of this journey. Finishing this book feels like such a full-circle moment.
