In Tell Her, I sit down with inspiring women, many of whom I’ve met as clients in my hair loss clinic, to explore their incredible life journeys. Each guest reflects on what they would tell their past, present, and future self if they could offer her heartfelt advice.
Our conversations shine a light on the resilience and strength of ordinary women doing extraordinary things. From navigating health challenges to surviving domestic abuse, undergoing treatments, and balancing work amidst adversity, these stories reveal the courage and wisdom that often go unnoticed.
Join us for real, raw, and uplifting discussions that celebrate the beauty of perseverance and the power of shared experiences.

The Parts of You Nobody Sees: Finding Joy on Your Own Terms
Saison 1 · Épisode 20
mardi 8 juillet 2025 • Durée 10:50
In this solo episode of the Tell Her podcast, Sharni reflects on an unforgettable evening spent listening to live classical music and how it reminded her of all the hidden aspects of herself she has learned to embrace over the years.
From secret loves (like classical piano and quirky collections) to the courage it takes to enjoy things that don’t “fit the box,” this episode is an honest and calming reminder to follow your own joy, even if it looks different from everyone else’s.
Sharni also shares thoughts on the beauty of doing things alone, the power of choosing yourself in relationships, and why life is far too short to live for other people’s opinions.
If you’ve ever felt like you had to hide parts of yourself to fit in, this is your permission to let them shine.
✨ Highlights:
Why it’s okay to love what you love — even if no one else understands
How live music and theatre awaken something deep within
The quiet power of doing things alone and “dating yourself”
Learning to stop fitting into boxes and start embracing who you truly are
Thoughts on relationships that allow you to grow rather than shrink
🔗 Listen now and let this episode inspire you to uncover, embrace, and enjoy the parts of you nobody sees yet.

I’m Sharni Knighton, the creator and host of Tell Her. I was inspired to start this podcast after meeting so many extraordinary ordinary women through my hair loss and wig clinic. I wanted to give these women a space to share their stories and help them realize that what they see as “ordinary” is truly extraordinary.
As an educator, I also train stylists in the hair loss industry around the world — and I’m passionate about showing them who these incredible women are. I believe you should only step into this work if you’re ready to truly help and connect with the women you serve.
In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode of the Tell Her podcast, Sharni sits down with her longest-standing client, an extraordinary woman now 87 years young who has truly lived through it all.
Together, they explore her deeply personal journey navigating life alongside her beloved husband Ken, who was diagnosed with dementia. She speaks candidly about the broken care system, nearly losing their home to afford care, and the emotional toll of advocating for someone you love.
But her story doesn’t stop there. She also takes us back to her childhood during World War II, sharing memories of rationing, evacuation, and the strength it took to grow up in such uncertain times.
This conversation is a powerful reflection on resilience, love, and the importance of community. And spoiler alert it ran so long (and was so full of giggles and bloopers!) that we had to split it into two parts. Stay tuned for part two!

Empowering Every Strand: Heat Styling with CLOUD NINE's Marie Nieuwoudt
Épisode 15
mardi 3 juin 2025 • Durée 01:19:09
In this enlightening episode, we sit down with Marie Nieuwoudt, Global Ambassador and Group Education Manager at CLOUD NINE, to explore the power of heat styling—and how it can be used as a force for good in hair care. With over 38 years in the hair industry and a deep passion for education, Marie shares her expertise on using heat safely, effectively, and inclusively.

It’s often these overlooked basics that lead to damage or long-term issues. By understanding how heat really works, we can take a rounded, safe, and educated approach—empowering both professionals and clients to make healthier choices for every hair type and texture.
We also dive into how CLOUD NINE’s innovation, like their exclusive Revive Mode™ with Axial Vibration™ technology, is transforming the industry. Their commitment to creating tools that work for everyone—no matter the hair type or texture—shows how important inclusivity and care are to their mission.
This episode is all about working with brands you trust—and aligning with companies and stylists who share your ethos and values, so you can take care of your clients with confidence.
