Hi, I’m Jenna — and I’m finally ready to stop hiding.
Starting this blog feels both exciting and terrifying. I’ve never done anything like this before — no personal site, no blog posts, nothing that asked me to be this visible. But after everything I’ve been through — from childhood hair loss to years of self-erasure — I know this step matters.
Sometimes the scariest things are the most important.
✨ Why I’m Here
For most of my life, I struggled to understand what was wrong with me.
I lost my hair as a child and spent years covering it with wigs, trying to blend in. I froze in conversations, avoided mirrors, and shrank myself in relationships that fed on my silence.
I was anxious. Confused. Emotionally exhausted. I didn’t have the words to explain what I was feeling — or why I felt like I was constantly fighting myself.
Then at 39, I was finally diagnosed with ADHD. That moment didn’t fix everything, but it helped me understand myself for the first time. It explained the chaos, the forgetfulness, the emotional flooding, the years of masking.
But even more than that — it helped me begin coming back to myself.
🕊 What “Wig Girl Interrupted” Means
This blog is my space to speak what was once unspoken — about identity, trauma, healing, and transformation.
The name Wig Girl Interrupted represents the pause I’ve lived in for far too long.
Interrupted by alopecia. By toxic relationships. By silence.
Now, I’m writing my way out of that interruption.
Here, I’ll talk about:
- Life with alopecia and wigs
- Living with ADHD (and the shame that comes with it)
- Healing from emotional abuse
- Rebuilding identity after years of people-pleasing
- Finding my voice — even when it shakes
💛 If You’re Here, Thank You
If you’ve ever felt like your brain, body, or heart didn’t work the way they were “supposed” to…
If you’ve lost yourself in a relationship, a diagnosis, or the pressure to be everything for everyone…
If you’ve felt interrupted — by life, grief, shame, or silence — this blog is for you.
I don’t have all the answers. But I promise to be real.
If you’re new here, I recommend you Start Here.
Thank you for being here. I can’t wait to grow together.
With love,
Jenna
