I started balding - Day 23

Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:00]A couple months ago, I started balding.

[00:00:02]And no, it's not because I'm always wearing hats.

[00:00:05]I hope. Today is day 23 of selling Cookie Gripz for the Pickleball Feeds Kids Campaign. [music] While I was in Korea, I got diagnosed with alopecia. It's an autoimmune disease that causes centralized balding, usually because of stress. I've been posting content for about 2 years now, and I never intended to be a creator.

[00:00:24]People just started watching my videos and I started to really enjoy sharing my moments. But recently, I've been trying to be more intentional as a creator. The only problem is I just don't know what I'm doing. I tend to stress myself out navigating the unknown. Apparently, to the point where I started balding. The greatest blessing about being a creator is the community we get to build together and ultimately using it for something good. Which is why what we're doing with this series is so important to me. Also, before I forget, I'm proud to say my bald spot is healing nicely. I promise I'm not bald under my cap. If you're new to this series, Cookie Gripz and I are selling pickleball grips for 30 days to raise money for the Pickleball Feeds Kids Campaign. Each pack of these ELO collab grips contributes a minimum of $4 to this campaign. And if you don't play pickleball, we also have a Tiltify donation page at [music] pickleballfeedskids.com.

[00:01:14]Follow to see how much we can raise.
