Learning the Art of Surrender in Midlife with Haith Johnson
Today on Midlife Conversations, I sit down with my inspiring friend, Haith Johnson, a celebrity hairstylist and co-founder of La’Host Hair & Wigs. Haith’s story is astounding—from nearly shutting her business down during COVID to handling a major hack that drained her PayPal and hijacked her Facebook page.
Despite these challenges, Haith’s faith, determination, and outlook on life propelled her to rebuild and thrive. She delves into her journey of overcoming homelessness, the significance of forgiveness, and utilizing her gifts to make a difference. Haith’s perspective on gratitude, emotional release, and turning chaos into opportunity offers invaluable lessons for anyone facing adversity.
There are a lot of great lessons in this episode. But in summary, what I think Haith did to surrender through the chaos in midlife is:
- Get a very good grasp on what is actually urgent and what is not
- Look for the lesson in things as to what you are supposed to be learning and turn to faith to get you through
- Strong sense of emotional release
- Ask for help unapologetically
- Stay in a practice of gratitude, even when things are super stressful and chaotic
- Don’t make it about you – making it about helping other people
- Faith, promise, and surrender to what you believe in
