Baldilocks & the Journey to Self-Love: A Conversation with Dan Newman

In this powerful episode of The Spark Changemakers Podcast, host Nikki Giant speaks with Dan Newman, founder of Baldilocks, an inspiring movement helping people reclaim their confidence and sense of self after experiencing hair loss.

Dan shares his deeply personal journey — from navigating alopecia after trauma to creating a supportive community that transforms hair loss into empowerment. Through wellness experiences, compassionate education, and advocacy, Baldilocks is redefining how we view self-image and resilience.

Together, Nikki and Dan explore:

  • The emotional and psychological impact of hair loss
  • The role of humor, community, and self-acceptance in healing
  • How social and cultural expectations shape our perception of beauty
  • The work Baldilocks is doing to support individuals through barbershop experiences, spa days, and workplace advocacy
  • Dan’s inspiring journey from adversity to changemaking

This conversation is a reminder that confidence comes from within—and that by supporting each other, we can truly make a difference.
