Audra Brown is back for part two, and this is the story we didn't get to last time.


She got fired her very first day behind the chair. Then she bounced from salon to salon, through walkouts, shutdowns, and every kind of chaos you can imagine. But she swears the whole time, the universe was leaving her little signs about where she was meant to end up. And when you hear how it all lined up, you might start believing it too.


This one's part hairstylist journey, part something bigger. Come hang out with us. Thank you for watching, always. — Kim
