THE CHASING RED FLAGS STORY

During an eight-hour road trip in the summer of 2023, mother-daughter duo Teri and Ella opened up about their experiences with red flags in relationships, difficult breakups, friendship losses, and the challenge of managing anxiety. Through these honest conversations and the personal growth gained from therapy, they discovered a shared passion for helping others prioritize mental health. From this journey, Chasing Red Flags was born.

IN JANUARY 2024, the duo officially founded Chasing Red Flags, where "being REAL outshines being perfect."
