Listen in now as our guest, Brenda Sue, shares her firsthand experience with Stripping the Labels: Realizing Your True SELF. From a young age, Brenda asked questions that didn't fit inside the culture in which she was raised. At the age of 20, she left her religious upbringing and spent a decade playing, partying and searching through extremes for something deeper. She returned to the church, trying to reconnect with what she thought she lost, and then in her 40s found her balance. Brenda's journey included depression, hospitalization, and years of therapy trying everything from Prozac to fitness to feel better. Everything began to shift when she stopped trying to fix herself and started realizing who she really was.

Brenda has written two books in a four-part series that help release blockages and expand awareness. Beyond Labels, and Tools, speak to the 15 year-old in all of us, the part that learned to cope and lost touch with truth. Through deep conversations behind the chair and in her new podcast being launched in the fall, Clips and Conversation, Brenda engages guests in dialogue that reminds us of the importance of the words we use to communicate, that we are all unique, and that we can easily become self-realized.

Brenda Sue is a hairdresser, author, podcaster and student of life, committed to helping others understand themselves and realize their successes. Her 35-year hairdressing career has helped her express her creative talents, all the while listening to clients express their triumphs, as well as their challenges. Brenda shares with them what she herself has learned through healing her own body, mind and spirit—that you are not your appearances, and that everyone has the capacity to achieve wholeness and conscious awareness. In fact, some of her clients refer to her as their "hair-a-pist." Perhaps in answer to that calling, while continuing her career, Brenda is starting college in the fall to study Psychiatry. She resides in Utah, where her most favorite thing of all is being a mother to her four adolescent and adult children.
