On today’s episode guest Achea Redd talks about her passion for normalizing the mental health conversation. As a result of her own struggle with anxiety that progressed to a mental breakdown, Achea began a journey to find hope, healing and wholeness. What she realized was that from day one of our lives, we’re assigned identities that come with unrealistic expectations about who we should be, which is exactly why Achea Redd created Real Girls F.A.R.T.—a movement that helps women break the modes assigned by society and empowers them to become F: Fearless A: Authentic R: Rescuer T: Trailblazer. Join this empowering conversation about becoming a healthier, more self aware and honest version of yourself, one that is no longer hiding from or ashamed of the emotions that you feel. Grab a cuppa something wonderful, a good girlfriend, and settle in with us. http://www.feminineroadmap.com/episode164/
