In this raw conversation with content creator Lynette Kua, she opens up about living with trichotillomania for over a decade, her decision to shave her head, and how dance became her healing outlet.
Trichotillomania is a mental health condition affecting 1-2% of the population where individuals have an irresistible urge to pull out their own hair, creating a cycle of tension, urge, temporary relief and shame. Despite being highly intelligent and creative, people with “trich” often hide this condition for years due to stigma, using wigs, bandanas, or avoiding certain activities entirely
Lynette shares the unexpected lessons that shaped her authentic creator journey, from leading dance crews to working with special needs children.
What Lynette reveals in this conversation:
* The shaving moment: Why cutting off all her hair wasn’t about giving up – it was about taking control
* The dance healing method: How hip-hop, contemporary, and soul dance became her emotional vocabulary when words failed
* The street interview strategy: Building authentic content by revealing her condition to strangers and documenting their real reactions
* The special needs teaching impact: How working with neurodiverse children shaped her empathy and content creation approach
* The creator authenticity formula: Building 10K+ engaged followers by sharing healing journey instead of chasing viral trends
* The boundary blueprint: Managing DMs from people seeking advice while protecting her own mental health
