Happier Grey Podcast Episode 107 - With Victoria @grayisthenewblonde

In this episode I'm chatting with Victoria Marie, who ended up going grey by chance in 2001, following a change of circumstance caused by the 9/11 New York attacks. Five years in the making, her film "Gray is the New Blonde" had it's red carpet premier in 2020.

Happier Grey Podcast Episode 106 - With Minal Patel

In this episode I'm chatting with Minal Patel who is almost 5 months into her grow out. She considered grey blending, but decided it wasn't for her. Instead she's chosen to let her colour grow out naturally. So far, she's much more comfortable with the grow out than she expected to be. It took Minal quite a while to decide to go grey. Initially she had it it pencilled in for when she was 60. But last year, she decided that waiting another three years just didn't make sense, so she had the final colour in December.

Happier Grey Podcast Episode 105 - With Jo Brianti

There are lots of different reasons why women choose to embrace their natural silvering hair, but this week's guest Jo Brianti's grow out was triggered by the realisation that she was trying to spin too many plates. When a dramatic incident brought things to a head. Initially, her new salt and pepper shade took some getting used to, and she wasn't sure she liked it. The colour has continued to change over time, and Jo now loves the much whiter shade she has now.

Happier Grey Podcast Episode 103 - With Emily Payne

In this episode I'm chatting to Emily Payne, who chose to grey because she thought her dyed brown hair looked a bit meh, and she was wanted a more distinctive and dramatic look. Emily has been a sex worker for over 20 years, so I couldn't resist asking her whether men found her less attractive now that she has grey hair. The answer was a definite no, if anything she's attracting younger men now that she did before. If you're interested in finding out more about Emily, she has a You Tube channel ThehonestfakeO. She also written a book called Sex is hard work, which you'll find on Amazon.
