Hey, I’m Melissa—host of Hard Wig, Soft Life and a woman who has been through it…no, like for real.
Life hasn’t always been easy. There were times when every day felt like a battle, and I’d wake up telling myself, “I just need one small good thing to happen today.” Spoiler alert: some days, that good thing never came. But I still had to get up and keep it moving.

I started this podcast for women like me, the ones doing the most but still feeling like it’s never enough. Some days we’re thriving, and some days we’re just trying to make it through without crying in public. Either way, we show up.

Hard Wig, Soft Life is where I say all the things I wish I heard along the way: It’s okay to be tired. It’s okay to change directions. It’s okay to not have a 5-year plan. And it’s more than okay to laugh at the mess. This is for the women out here figuring it out, wig slipping or not.
