Ep 66 Aligned From the Crown Down: How Hair Shapes Confidence & Leadership

In this uplifting and deeply affirming episode, Lisa-Marie Elkhadraoui is joined by Adam, founder of Adam James Hair Salon, to explore the transformative role hair plays in confidence, self-expression, and how we show up in business and leadership.

This is not a conversation about trends or surface-level aesthetics.

It’s about identity, energy, and alignment.

Together, Lisa-Marie and Adam unpack how hair influences not only how we look, but how we feel, how we carry ourselves, and how we are perceived professionally. They explore why hair is often the final piece that brings a woman back into alignment with her higher self, and how feeling “off” with your hair can quietly impact confidence, boundaries, and presence.

Adam shares powerful insights into the importance of trust and connection between stylist and client, why the right hairdresser becomes a long-term partner rather than a service provider, and how intentional choices around your hair can elevate your personal brand without chasing trends.

This episode gently reminds us that confidence is often built through alignment on the outside as well as within, and that when you feel good in yourself, you lead, speak, and show up differently.

If you’ve ever felt that a small change created a big internal shift, this conversation will resonate deeply.

This episode is an invitation to see hair not as a superficial detail, but as part of your confidence, identity, and leadership as a woman in business.

When you feel aligned from the crown down, you don’t just look different, you speak differently, lead differently, and move differently.

And sometimes, the journey back to your higher self begins in the salon chair.
