We know how it is for redheads to feel judged for having red hair – wondering if you should let your red hair shine when you’re being interviewed for a gig, interview, meeting, maybe shooting for a big promotion – or like us, you had to walk into “the tank” on ABC’s Shark Tank and have the biggest interview of your life. Anna’s tips and suggestions are for anyone wanting to “get” anything in life.

We're one week away from National #LoveYourRedHairDay weekend and we have one more episode dropping on November 3rd! We're having some of our favorite conversations to wrap up the season and we'd like everyone to welcome Laura Jackel to the How to be a Redhead podcast!

She's the Senior Lifestyle Writer at Mamamia, Australia’s super channel for women. She is also a mum of two boys and a former natural redhead. She recently wrote an article titled: 'I've been blonde, brunette and a redhead. There's one colour I would not go back to.' She details how she was born with natural red hair and journeyed through different hair colors. We are so excited for you to enjoy this interesting conversation. Some of the questions we asked her:

1. Why did you write this article? And how was it to reflect on your hair journey?
2. You write about now turning gray, saying, “The graying remains of my natural ginger hair are for now, still under my cool blonde highlights and I feel nostalgic and sad about the fact I didn't embrace its natural shade for longer than I did." We read your son is a natural redhead -- do you share tips with him on self-acceptance?
3. “As a ginger-haired, pale, and freckle-faced kid, I would have done anything to change my hair color and complexion. I faced plenty of teasing for being a redhead..” Now for the question we ask our redhead guests: what was it like for you growing up as a redhead? From reading your article, it seems like it was not pleasant.
4. You say you went back to red for your wedding and for the birth of your child. It made us wonder how your husband feels (or felt then) about your natural red hair and if he influenced you to go back to your natural red hair?
5. We found it interesting you went from red to blonde to brunette, saying, “But in my late 20s when I decided I wanted to be taken more seriously at work, I completed the hair trifecta and became a brunette.” Tell us more.
6. As we mentioned before, you went back to red for the birth of your child in 2010. Why?
7. Now for the present day, you’re blonde. We wanted to read the last sentence of the article to listeners. You say, “Perhaps in years to come, I will branch out and embrace my greys or even try a candy pink, but right now I'm comfortable as a blonde."
8. What advice do you have for redheads, no matter their age, struggling with their identity? Do you recommend trying a new hair color or embracing you?

He is also known for his Brett Brow line — which are products just for eyebrows! Redheads, he has specific shades just for us. Every product is created, formulated and developed by Brett.

On this week’s episode of the How to be a Redhead podcast, we’re talking all about green beauty.

When How to be a Redhead launched in 2011, we focused on discussions about ‘Redhead Friendly’ approved products; 99.9% of the time green beauty items are ‘Redhead Friendly’ because they’re clean, free of heavy chemicals and as natural as can be.

That’s why we always recommend green beauty for redheads, and why Katey Denno is our guest in this week’s episode. Not only is she a redhead, but she is known as the go-to green beauty celebrity artist. Her passion for makeup was awakened during her 10+ year career in social work in DC and The Bronx, by her male-to-female transgender clients. While focusing on the external, she was able to help them feel good within, which she still believes, is the root of looking great. Denno’s redhead celebrity roster include Connie Britton, Isla Fisher, the queen of redheads herself: Julianne Moore, and more!

On this week’s episode of the How to be a Redhead podcast, we’re talking all about redhead men and redheads ‘by choice’. Popular questions amongst How to be a Redhead followers are:

1. “I am a natural redhead man. Any tips for me?”

2. “I am a redhead ‘by choice’. I wasn’t born a redhead, but I know it’s the right color for me. What products are best for my hair? Any other tips for me?”

So, we wanted to dedicate an entire episode about these two topics.

We brought in two “experts” in these fields: siblings, Lydia and Josh Hodges who grew up in a redhead family. Josh is a natural redhead and Lydia has dyed her hair red for over 5 years and feels most confident being a redhead ‘by choice’.

Luckily, Josh is Adrienne’s husband and Lydia is her sister-in-law.

Lydia dishes on her favorite red hair dye, L’Oreal Paris Superior Preference, 6R Light Auburn (Warmer). She only leaves it on for 30 minutes and dyes it every 3 weeks. She also talks about how she gained so much confidence because of her red hair.

Josh talks about growing up as a natural redhead and vivid memories from his childhood; including redhead bullying and how he made it stop.

And, Josh also talks about how he isn’t afraid to use beauty products. One of his favorite items is PCA Skin’s Sensitive Skin Retinol and lots of sunscreen.

Podcast Notes: https://howtobearedhead.com/podcast-episode-7-redhead-men-and-dyed-redheads/

Episode 6 is all about redhead confidence when you’re raising redhead kids. Adrienne and Stephanie chose a guest who gave them confidence: their mom!

Her name is Jan Vendetti. She is a natural blonde from California. The girls were raised in New England in a predominately Italian neighborhood. Jan really helped Adrienne and Stephanie embrace who we were.

Adrienne and Stephanie were inspired to start HowtobeaRedhead.com because their mom truly helped them learn HOW to be a redhead (wink, wink).

Podcast notes: https://howtobearedhead.com/podcast-episode-6-how-to-raise-confident-redhead-children/

Episode 5 of the How to be a Redhead podcast is a very special one for us. We’re talking all about starting a business and tips at the beginning of your journey. Amber Hurdle is the guest on today’s episode. She is a redhead, professional Brand Strategist and Leadership Consultant. Her story, just like the start of any company, did not start with ease. She was a teen mom and with a lot of drive and organization, began successfully helping companies prosper. She’s author of “The Bombshell Business Woman” and host of “The Bombshell Business” podcast. Adrienne and Stephanie also share tips of their How to be a Redhead business journey, and one particular story that could have ended their business — but they refused to let it happen.

Stephanie "Steph" Cheape is a natural redhead + singer/songwriter from Scotland. She has 300K followers on TikTok where she posts about Scottish culture, her music, and of course, life as a redhead. October is Bullying Awareness Month and we couldn't think of a better guest to discuss bullying, and her very own experience growing up with red hair in Scotland.

Follow her on Instagram

Questions we ask Steph:

1. What was it like for you growing up as a redhead?
2. It seems like there is a stigma in the UK surrounding red hair. Do you think this is true? And if so, why the cultural difference?
3. Is there anything, you believe, we can do better to stop the UK stigma of redheads? Do you think it will ever stop?
4. We know you wear our Finally Have Lashes mascara in Perfectly Auburn! We have more shades coming out this fall. Do you feel like redhead makeup has helped you embrace your red hair even more? If a redhead beauty line were more readily available in the UK, do you think it would help the redhead stigma?
5. You’ve commented that TikTok users tend to be nicer than Instagram users. Do you think this has to do with a younger, more accepting generation? Do you feel like users are more accepting of your red hair on TikTok than Instagram?
6. You share fun facts about redheads on social media. What’s your favorite fun fact you like to pull out?
7. We know you’re a musician! Tell us about your music career, how it’s going + what’s next for you professionally. Any projects you can tell us about?

Red hair is more than a color, it’s a lifestyle. If there is one woman who emulates “the redhead lifestyle”, it is Julie Klausner. She is an author, comedian, podcaster, and writer. She is widely known for co-creating, writing and starring in the Hulu sitcom "Difficult People" alongside Billy Eichner and hailed from executive producer, Amy Poehler.

Poehler is quoted saying, "Read everything Julie Klausner writes and listen to everything Julie Klausner says. She is hilarious, wise and smarter than you. I adore her."

The podcast begins with Adrienne and Stephanie talking about how it was growing up as redheads and the "lifestyle" that comes with having red hair. They then call Julie Klausner to talk more in detail about her career, her redhead lifestyle and what's next for her.

Klausner even dishes about her favorite redhead eyebrow product.

We have done many episodes and have posted many articles on HowtobeaRedhead.com about redheads feeling more pain, or feeling pain differently. Since we know getting tattoos can be painful, we had to dedicate an entire episode to this topic. We couldn't have chosen a better guest than Lyndi Lou. She is a natural redhead, tattoo artist and owner of Mama Tried Tattoo Parlour in Louisville, Kentucky. She is also a painter & wood burner.

Follow her on Instagram: @lyndilou

Questions we ask her:

1. What was it like for you growing up as a redhead?
2. Your style is often described as colorful, whimsical, and humorous. How do you incorporate these elements into your tattoo designs?
3. Do you think redheads have specific needs when it comes to choosing a tattoo artist?
4. The pain tolerance of redheads is a debated topic. As a natural redhead, and someone who often sees people handle pain, what is your opinion?
5. Have you ever had any clients who were hesitant about getting a tattoo because of pain, and how do you help them prepare for their appointment(s)?
6. Can you tell us about any specific tattoo design that you're particularly proud of or that holds a special significance to you?

She has been reporting on beauty trends and formulations, and has tested the latest products for 8+ years professionally. When not on the hunt for the next best mascara, you can find her running in Brooklyn, reading a book, or trying out a new restaurant.

Follow her on Instagram: @shannonmarie.beauty

We ask her the following:

1. What was it like for you growing up as a redhead?
2. You post a lot of photos with curly hair. Is your hair naturally curly? What’s your secret for beautiful curls?
3. Do you do anything special to keep your red hair vibrant?
4. We love talking about SKIN! We see on Instagram that you get waxed. What kind of hair removal would you recommend for redheads with skin too sensitive for waxing?
5. You made a post about how good skin does not equal flawless skin. We think this is an important message considering so many people use filters to make their skin look perfectly smooth. What does it mean to have “good skin” – especially for redheads with sensitivity?
6. You are an advocate for sunscreen as skincare. Which brands do you use?
7. What products are you loving for your morning skincare routine right now?
8. Red hair is trending in 2023 – it seems to trend every year. What do you think about this?

We have a passion for beauty at H2BAR. We, Adrienne and Stephanie, grew up in an environment where many of the women around us were passionate about skincare, makeup, and beauty routines. It influenced us to start HowtobeaRedhead.com in 2012 and why we wanted to start the first-ever redhead beauty-focused podcast (the How to be a Redhead podcast) in 2018. We jump into specific topics all of the time and sometimes forget there are redheads out there without a deep background in beauty.

Today's guest is Pam Cameron. We're so excited for you to meet our lovely, kind, natural-redhead podcast producer. Throughout 2023, we have had many conversations with Pam and she would ask us beauty-related questions. We thought, "Our listeners would love to hear this..."

So, here we go. We ask Pam the following questions:

1. We’ll start off by asking about your beauty background. Was your mom into beauty? We know you have a redhead sister too! Is she into beauty?
2. Before meeting us, what were your beauty concerns? Did you have any? Frizzy hair? Dry, itchy skin?
3. We sent you a box of products with hair/skin items – and Finally Have Lashes/Finally Have Brows. You’ve been testing and trying items for a while now. What questions do you have? Have you enjoyed any products?
4. We know you asked us about using mascara and how to apply it and what to do with the tube. What are your questions about mascara?
5. Brows! How are you doing using Finally Have Brows!?
6. Skincare: What does your skincare routine look like? What questions do you have about the steps when applying skincare?
7. Do you wear SPF daily?
8. Haircare: We know you just started using conditioner! How does your hair feel?
9. Are there any products you want to try but are afraid to do so?

Cetaphil Daily Hydrating Lotion for Face

To kick off our 20th episode this season, we're doing something special today! It will be a different format because we're covering two important topics: how to donate your red hair + redhead wigs. To help us answer your questions, we have 2 different guests on today's episode:

The first guest is Suzanne Chimera. She’s a native New Yorker and President/Co-Founder of HairWeShare. She founded it in 2014 after being a custom wig designer for twenty years. HairWeShare creates custom wigs for children AND adults with medical hair loss. This is important because many wig organizations only make wigs for kids – but HairWeShare makes wigs for adults + kids.

Then, we called Jordan Fuelberth. She’s a 24-year-old natural redhead and works as a certified veterinary technician in Illinois. She has always been a huge supporter of WigsforKids and she feels blessed to be a donor! If you didn’t see her viral hair donation TikTok video with millions, and millions, and millions of views (click here), you’re in for a treat. If you happened to see around 36” of red hair being chopped off on TikTok, it was probably Jordan. She will detail how she donated 1 full yard of her own red hair!

If there is anything you can take away from this podcast, it is that redheads have the power to change lives in some way. It could be donating your unique hair, it could be sending this podcast to a friend or family member NEEDING a wig, and/or it could be donating monetarily to the organizations mentioned.

Donate to HairWeShare

Donate to WigsForKids

Jordan's product recommendations + hair tips for growth:

1. Sugar Bear Hair Vitamin Collagen
2. Matrix Leave-in Conditioner
3. Every six months, get a trim
4. Wash it every 2-3 days (not every day)

We're always asked if redheads can get laser hair removal. Season 2, Episode 12 we talked about this very topic. But, lasers are getting more and more advanced and is there an update *four* years later?

We're calling our guest all the way across the pond -- in London, UK. Matthew Rundle is our guest today. He owns Mayfair Aesthetics Laser and Skin Clinic with four (4) locations in London. Mayfair has won twelve (12) awards and helped over 10,000 clients achieve smooth, hair-free skin. Besides laser hair removal, Mayfair also offers a range of skin treatments including facials, peels, and semi-permanent makeup.

We ask him the following questions:

1. What is laser hair removal and will it work for redheads?
2. What is the difference between electrolysis and laser hair removal?
3. What is IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and who does it work for? Your clinic also offers semi-permanent makeup. What is this procedure like? Could a redhead benefit from this?
4. Redheads usually have sensitive skin. Before a redhead goes in for a facial or a peel, what should they know first? Are there certain treatments that they should avoid?
5. There are so many products on the market that claim to remove hair painlessly. There’s Bleam (the crystal hair eraser), epilators, creams, at-home IPL devices, etc. As consumers, how can we evaluate whether a product will work for us or not?
6. Your clinics are on the cutting edge of hair removal technology (which keep getting better!). What new treatments/tools do you see on the horizon?

Early in Season 5 (Episode 2), we talked with a redhead matchmaker and dating coach. We received so many DMs, comments, and emails about the episode. It was also great to hear your dating stories too!

We wanted to bring back the topic and this time we're talking to Anna Leonore. She is a redhead, Registered Nurse, and a TikTok Dating/Relationship Coach (so cool). Her relationship coaching is centered on trauma identification and healing in an effort to form and maintain healthy dating and romantic relationships.

Anna holds several college degrees and certifications, and her extensive trauma education comes from her time working as an emergency and trauma nurse, as well as her specialized training in managing childhood trauma within her years spent navigating the foster care system as a foster and adoptive parent.

Anna has been a relationship coach for the last several years and enjoys sharing her knowledge in an effort to help others navigate the current landscape of the dating world.

Follow her on TikTok @fromthefosters

1. (A question we ask all our guests) What was it like for you growing up as a redhead?
2. Have you ever used dating apps yourself, to find love? Or were you married by the time apps got popular?
3. You have a TikTok series on dating app red flags. We all know what a big red flag looks like, but what are the subtle red flags that most people may not be aware of?
4. What information should go on a dating profile and what should you withhold until you get to know someone?
5. By now, we’ve all heard of catfishing. How can you make sure you aren’t being catfished on a dating app?

Follow Sarajane on Instagram: enneagramandcoffee

We have been longtime friends of Sarajane and asked some of the following questions for this exciting hour together:

1. How was it growing up with red hair? What was your experience like?
2. Once you graduated, like many of us, you dabbled in your talents (photography, etc) and have really seemed to find your niche with the Enneagram. At the time of this recording, you have 473k followers. How did this all come to be?!
3. We did some research on the Enneagram and are really interested in talking about it. We’d love to identify our own types. Can we do it over this podcast? From a glance, Stephanie seems to be a 6: Loyalist, and Adrienne is 8: The Challenger.
4. For anyone that doesn’t know you, you’re full of light and self-confidence. We know so many feel this way when they meet you and even follow you on social media. How did you gain so much self-confidence and love for yourself? Was this always the case? Each year, do you love yourself more?
5. You look GORGEOUS with a red lip and red hair. When we think of you, we think of how you pull it off so well. Any advice for redheads who don’t think they can rock it?
6. What are you working on now? What’s next for you?

Denise LaPalm is the founder and creator of L'Beauxtique, a line aimed to leverage aromatherapy's therapeutic essence to aid women in managing their emotional well-being. She wears many hats: a working mother, a wife, a certified professional aromatherapist, and an advocate for women managing life's emotional rollercoaster.

If you're a Summer Deluxe H2BAR Box subscriber, you are probably enjoying the full-size version of the L'Beauxtique Evening Body Serum. It's a fast-absorbing body oil infused with a calming essential oil blend to help alleviate anxiety, uplift mood, and restore balance after long demanding days.

LaPalm's journey through the corporate world made her acutely aware of the impact of stress, leading to physical, emotional, and spiritual exhaustion. This pivotal moment inspired a transformative shift in her perspective of stress, leading to the creation of L'Beauxtique. LaPalm wants to encourage women to redefine their relationship with stress and embrace their inherent strength.

We ask LaPalm why she created the L'Beauxtique Evening Body Serum and why redheads will enjoy it in their H2BAR Boxes. She also gives us tips on how to wind down and de-stress.

You might be a redhead who refuses to see the dentist because you experience more pain. Do redheads actually feel more pain at the dentist? Is it a myth? Fact? We are speaking with Dr. Ethan Erwin today. He practices cosmetic and general dentistry, AND he's a natural redhead. He owns Smile Hot Springs in his hometown of Hot Springs, Arkansas.

We asked him some of the following questions:

1. According to a study by the National Library of Medicine, natural redheads have more anxiety about the dentist than people with dark hair due to their resistance to local anesthetics. As a redhead yourself, what was your experience like at the dentist?
2. Are dentists being trained to expect differences in their redheaded patients?
3. What would you say to a listener who has been avoiding the dentist for years due to anxiety? 
4. It can be really hard to tell a doctor, “I need more anesthesia”. They may look at you as if you’re crazy because they have never heard this fact before, or they may disregard you because they think you’re reading out another false fact from TikTok. What’s the best way to tell a doctor about redheads needing more anesthesia? 
5. What are some options patients can ask for that they may not know about? (Example: I didn’t know Dentists could prescribe a mild sedative like Valium. Some dentists offer laser fillings without any injections)

You might have been asked, "Aren't redheads going extinct?" It's a myth we're here to bust and our guest is Dr. Mark Elgar. We're calling him from Australia where he is a professor of Evolutionary Biology at the University of Melbourne. He earned his Ph.D. in Evolutionary Biology from the University of Cambridge in 1985 and is a member of the Australian Evolution Society. His research focuses on animal behavior and evolutionary biology, specializing in animal mating and social behavior.

As an evolutionary biologist, he is here to explain why redheads are NOT going extinct and why red hair + blue eyes is the rarest combo.

Note: This episode was taped in March when Stephanie was pregnant. You may hear Stephanie talk about being pregnant, and post-pregnancy throughout the different episodes due to pre-recording. Spoiler: Her baby was not born with red hair.

Here are some of the questions we ask him:

1.In layman's terms, what is an evolutionary biologist?

2.After reading the literature you have written about redheads, we thought this applied most to redheads, “Recessive genes can stay hidden for a long time.” So, let's address the myth of "redheads are going extinct." Are we a dying breed or not? Or, are redhead genes always going to be there?

3.There is a big debate in the redhead community. Some say it’s red hair and green eyes that are the rarest. Why are red hair and blue eyes the rarest combination?

4.Is red hair recessive in other mammals like cats and dogs or is it just humans?

5.How can we know what someone's hair color was thousands of years ago without having seen a photograph? Is that something you can figure out from digging up skeletons and testing them, or how does that work?

6.Our audience is obsessed with different shades of red hair. We usually say every shade is different, it’s almost like a unique fingerprint amongst redheads. You said in the article, “Redheads range from strawberry blonde, brownish auburn hair or flaming red tresses..” because the MCR1 gene is also a ‘quantitative trait’ which means that depending on which version of the mutation a person carries, there is variation in the appearance of those who carry the gene. Can you explain more?

7.Are two redheaded parents guaranteed to have a redheaded child?

Our next guest is the first natural redhead to walk the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show runway!

Alexina Graham started her modeling career at age 17 and has been in the industry for over 15 years. She has graced many high fashion runways from Jean Paul Gaultier to Balmain, to Amani and has graced the covers of Elle, Marie Claire, Harpers Bazarre and more. Alexina had her major break when she became an international spokesmodel for L'Oreal Paris in 2016, which was one of her fondest moments in the industry. Then, in 2018, she went on to walk the Victoria's Secret runway and became a Victoria's Secret angel shortly after. 

Fast-forward through a pandemic, battling her own inner demons and being a support system for her family—she is now on a brand new, exciting path in the world of spirituality.

Our theme at H2BAR is SHINY, GLOSSY red hair for the next few weeks! The big Finally Glossy drop happens 1 week from today (June 16, 2023) at midnight, EST. P.S. We're hosting a BIG 20% off sale this weekend, no code needed. Head to the H2BAR shop to shop now.

So, it's only natural for us to talk about hair on today's podcast. Great hair starts with a healthy scalp. Our guests are Mimi Chien and Catherine Cheng -- and we're calling them right from Taiwan! They are from the Aromase team and are here to talk about healthy scalps and what we all want -- luscious red hair. Mimi is the CSO Chief Sustainability Officer/ Deputy Manager and Catherine is the Global Sales + Marketing Manager.

If you're an H2BAR Box subscriber, the full-size Aromase 5α Juniper Scalp Purifying Liquid Shampoo was inside your Spring Deluxe H2BAR Box! If you are a redhead who suffers from an itchy scalp, this product is a scalp pre-shampoo. It removes excess sebum, and scalp buildup, soothes inflammation, and combats dandruff.

A little bit more about Mimi + Catherine. Mimi is the only Asian board member of the B Beauty coalition. She works to care for human beings and the earth through the natural plant-extracted scalp care products of AROMASE and juliArt brands; actively participates in mountain climbing, caring for caregivers, circular economy, and renewable energy. Catherine is a hopeless enthusiast for beautiful things and has solid experience in the aesthetic medicine field and her own beauty blog. She is a trainer and speaker at medical conventions and global training for doctors and business partners.

We ask them the following:

1.Our H2BAR Box subscribers have been loving Aromase Juniper Scalp Purifying Liquid Shampoo! Tell us more about the product.

2.What are the exact steps someone should be taking to care for their scalp?

3.How does someone know if they have dandruff, psoriasis, or other scalp-related issues?

4.Many redheads have sensitive skin and sunburn easily (which by the way, scalp sunburns are the worst!). How can we protect our scalp from sun damage?

5.How about itchy scalps? Should we avoid any ingredients for optimal scalp health?

6.What do you think of the following scalp care advice many are preaching to use online, especially on TikTok?

Next week, we are dropping a special Finally Glossy podcast episode where we answer many questions we have received on social media about the special redhead shampoo.

Daily, we get an array of questions from social media comments, emails, and direct messages. We thought it would be fun to bring these to the How to be a Redhead podcast!

We, Adrienne + Stephanie, met Cheryl in 2014 on a Shape Magazine shoot. We loved her energy instantly. She had us included in a piece about “loving” yourself. Some loved their freckles, others loved their curly hair, we were chosen to be the ones who “loved our red hair”. The piece was so ahead of its time – pre-Lizzo, pre-self-acceptance.

We're so excited for the H2BAR audience to meet Cheryl. Get ready to get some solid beauty advice to guide you, and scroll below for many of her product recommendations. We asked her the following questions:

1.When did you first go red? Do you remember the moment?

2.You’ve had a long career as a beauty expert. What is your top tip about fading red hair?

3.You wrote an article for PSYCOM called “Dopamine Dressing: How what you wear affects how you feel”. What colors do you suggest for redheads?

4.You’ve written about menopause recently, specifically hot flashes. Do our hormones affect our hair and skin? And if so, how?

Interested in working with Daliya?! Reach out to her here.

We asked Daliya some of these questions and we loved her advice:

1.We usually open our conversations with “What was your experience like growing up as a redhead?” but we wanted to take it a step further and ask you – what was it like growing up as a redhead, and how was it DATING as a redhead in the beginning? 

2. How has dating changed from when you first started to now? How have you seen dating norms change over the last 10 years?

3.Do you think redheads (both men and women) are in a unique situation when it comes to dating? 

4.BRAVO’s 'Millionaire Matchmaker', Patti Stanger, said, “Wealthy men hate redheads.” This was back in 2011 and we never believed her when we heard this. We were wondering if this is the case for you. Do some men/women prefer redheads, do some prefer NOT to date redheads? 

5.For redhead women, do they ever consult with you about beauty tips before going on a date? 

6.Let’s talk profile pics! Red hair is loud in proud in dating profile pics. How can a redhead best communicate who they are and what they’re looking for with their profile pic? Any tips? 

7.Do you have redhead clients? Is there anything similar about what they all want? 

8.How did you get into matchmaking?! What is your #1 tip for redheads (male or female) when dating?

Welcome to Season 5!

Jessica Gagen is a fashion model and science educator. She was crowned Miss England in 2022 and made history as the first natural redhead to win the title. She is passionate about aviation and women in STEM fields. For those who do not know what STEM is, it is the field of natural sciences, math, engineering, and technology.

In May of 2022, HowtobeaRedhead.com posted an article telling redhead readers about Gagen's ambition to be Miss England, and how she suffered from severe bullying because of her red hair. Gagen was crowned Miss England 22/23 in October 2022 and is the FIRST redhead to represent England. Read the follow-up article about her win here.

After winning, she posted on IG saying: “The moment a dream came true… I’m blessed to have been crowned the very first redheaded Miss England and strive to empower children facing torment for their red locks whilst showcasing the phenomenal opportunities which lie in STEM careers along the way. Exciting things to come!”

This Olympics-themed episode will leave you feeling inspired, thankful, and motivated. Our next guest is Clara Brown. On the world championship stage, she has won 11 total medals, including 3 gold, 3 silver and 5 bronze in both track cycling and road cycling.

Growing up, she had a strong athletic background in gymnastics, running, and skiing until she suffered a neck injury at 12. Despite this setback, she found solace in rowing during high school. However, it wasn't until after college that she discovered her true calling in para-cycling, where she excelled and earned accolades.

The U.S. Paralympics Cycling announced 13 athletes -- seven men and six women -- to compete for Team USA at the Paralympic Games Paris 2024, and Clara Brown is one of those 13. We're thrilled to watch her compete later this month in Paris!

Beyond sports, Clara enjoys cooking, hiking, and camping, and harbors ambitions of becoming a pilot and maybe even going to law school.
