The Curl Squad's Curl Power Podcast: Recent Episodes
Zoe Fox
Curl Squad is a community of naturally curly and marginalised women on a journey to self-acceptance, pursuing passion and discovering their purpose.
We speak from the heart and like to dig deep.
We discuss growing up curly, overcoming obstacles, traumas and triumphs as well as sharing a natural hair care essential or two. I’ll be introducing you to some incredibly inspiring curly creators and innovators as we discuss the natural hair community, representation, healing, doing meaningful work and building bigger tables.
It’s the curls that connect us, but our experience is rich, deep and diverse. Most of us can identify with overcoming some form of challenge and these perspectives are underrepresented, powerful and incredibly important.
Join us for the conversation as we explore a therapeutic journey through life and its challenges, entrepreneurship, spirituality and personal transformation.

In this episode of HER Power the Podcast. I'm back after taking a much-needed break to prioritise my health, sanity, and well-being. It's been a tough start to the year, and I want to share how I've been powering through it all.
As a woman, I understand the importance of honouring ourselves and finding balance, especially during times of adversity. Three years ago, I suffered a spinal cord injury that significantly impacted my life. It's been a time of reflection for me, focusing on my message and book proposal with my Hay House mentorship, as well as taking the time to reflect on my emotions. I also recognise the impact of unseen astrological events on our day-to-day lives.
As women, we often push ourselves too hard and forget to listen to our bodies when they tell us to slow down. Finding balance is essential to avoid burnout, and I've learned that consistency can lead to positive results, but it's also important to be mindful of our energy levels, especially when managing a disability.
Join me on this journey of honouring ourselves and our message of empowerment, even when it's uncomfortable or goes against the expectations of others. Let's be transparent about being on a journey and finding integrity within ourselves.
Thank you for listening to HER Power the Podcast. Stay strong and keep powering through.

In this episode, I am inviting you to step up to 2023 prepared to connect with the life you truly deserve.
In a world of overstimulation and societal pressures, how easy is it for you to disconnect and reconnect with yourself, your heart, and your authentic desires? So many of us are on autopilot, some so much so, that you’re not even working to satisfy your greatest potential, instead unconsciously grinding to support someone living their best life, while forgetting your own magnificence. It’s time to connect to your higher self.
I discuss:
- It's not a destination it's a process
- Lacking purpose
- The hamster wheel
- There is no magic pill
- Gifts disguised as pain
- Surrender
- Finding the will to sit still

- Ignoring intuition
- Snakes and ladders
- Listening to your higher voice

You are worthy
Do you feel good enough? Circumstances that erode confidence, societal conditioning, representation, and perhaps even a bad manager can have a long-lasting impact on your confidence. Today is the day we let go of outdated patterns that tell us we are not worthy.
I discuss:
- Being too much or not enough
- Managers that don’t believe in you
- Taking on other peoples ‘stuff’
- The opportunity to reinvent yourself
- A reason, a season or a lifetime
- Speak your truth find your tribe
- External validation is not sustainable
- Affirmation
- Self-forgiveness
I am worthy
I am loved
I am deserving of wonderful opportunities
I am a good person, and I don’t need to prove it to anyone.
I am enough
I believe in myself
I am a powerful force of nature with great potential to unleash.
I forgive myself for anything in the past that has led to feelings of unworthiness
I did the best I could at the time with conscious awareness I had at the time

I share my experience of my first year of motherhood. Women, we are humans, not superhumans contrary to popular beliefs, so we need to respect our balance. Hence, it’s important to establish boundaries and enlist support to stop us from burning out, because when we are burnout we have nothing to give to ourselves or anyone else for that matter. We discuss:
- Mingling with random Moms
- Not all brown folk are the same
- Sleeping when the baby sleeps
- Weaning worries
- Negative Strangers
- Trying to be supermom
- Why Hermes ruined Christmas

Recorded before I went into hospital and My longest episode yet and there is so much still to be discussed. My guest today recently pulled off a stunning all black-owned business photoshoot for the Curly Bride Company and fulfilled a celebrity order for Jorga Smith.
She’s been through a lot and she’s achieved a lot
Today I’m speaking to serial entrepreneur Sacha, CEO of The Happy Hair Co, a UK based super brand that provides affordable luxury protective haircare and education for curly, afro and frizz-prone hair all over the world. Run by serial entrepreneur Sacha Atherton and her 10-year-old daughter Jaya, they also use their platform to do important work against racism and hair discrimination and have done since the brand’s inception in 2018. The brand quickly gained a global customer base, largely attracted to their innovative anti-frizz bamboo TLC towel and their luxury reversible satin bonnets. As trusted self-taught curl specialists with a focus on healthy hair and healthy product ingredients, demand quickly resulted in The Happy Hair Co. expanding their services to include salon treatments and education, across the UK.
Sacha has a wealth of business and life experience, having entered the world of work at the tender age of 16, whilst also homeless and living in hostels. Her entrepreneurial journey began in 2016 when she left her job as a Product Manager in the tech industry to launch a recruitment consultancy around parental employment and flexible working as a result of her own barriers and experiences as a skilled single black mother.
She continues to disrupt across industries developing innovative and purposeful products and services for her beloved communities and global customer base. Sacha's current brand portfolio also includes, The Curly Bride Company, a high end bridal accessory and gift store. Jamaicandles, vegan Jamaican scented non-toxic candles and Diaz x Jay, products encouraging self care and wellness for men.
We discussed
1: Having her daughter made her reconsider her hair journey
2:The detrimental impact of being rejected by her parents on self-worth
3: Going it alone in motherhood
4: “I’m your Dad”, discovering her biological Dad
5: The Curly Bride; A black love story: centring black love and talent in a wedding industry that lacks representation
6: Black Luxury, I'm not paying that.

Following the kidnap and murder of Sarah Everard in March 2021, you’ll be well aware of the heightened conversation around the safety of women.
In this episode, I discuss my experiences of times when I have felt threatened, abused, violated and imitated at the hand of toxic masculinity.
So this conversation is important because women deserve to be safe, all women deserve to be safe.

In this episode, I speak to my Mom. She is a Windrush Generation Immigrant who came to this country when she was just 6 years old in the early 1960s. Sadly my Mom’s Mom passed away in childbirth when my Mom was only 8 just a couple of years after arriving in this country. This Mothers Day Special is dedicated to my Mom.
We discussed:
- Embracing her natural hair journey and her previous hair fails.
- Arriving in this country as a young immigrant and her memories of coming to England.
- How not having a Mom around impacted her relationship with her hair.
- Uncomfortable looks.
- And what it’s like being about being a Mom to two Mixed-race kids.

An impromptu show in response to the headline news surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan's recent interview with Oprah.
In this episode, I talk about my personal experience of growing up Mixed-Race, White British and Black Caribbean in 1980s/1990s Britain. Whilst I'm now very proud of who I am it wasn't always easy for me to navigate my duel heritage.
I discuss:
Being self-aware outside of major cities
Feeling vibes that remind you that you’re different
How other people’s opinions impacted my sense of self
Not seeing myself represented impacted my self-confidence
Wanting to end it all.

In this episode of the Curl Power Podcast, Zoe Fox talks about her experience of having a spinal cord injury during the 2020 pandemic and explains how Cauda Equina Syndrome changed her self perception.
Cauda equina syndrome Cauda equina syndrome is a rare and severe type of spinal stenosis where all of the nerves in the lower back suddenly become severely compressed.
Symptoms include:
- sciatica on both sides
- weakness or numbness in both legs that is severe or getting worse
- numbness around or under your genitals, or around your anus
- finding it hard to start peeing, can't pee or can't control when you pee – and this isn't normal for you
- you don't notice when you need to poo or can't control when you poo – and this isn't normal for you
Cauda equina syndrome requires emergency hospital admission and emergency surgery because the longer it goes untreated, the greater the chance it will lead to permanent paralysis and incontinence.
