OUR MISSION
At Chasing Red Flags, our mission is to promote authenticity and mental wellness by challenging societal demands for perfection. Our name reflects a core belief: that the 'red flags' in our lives, often seen as flaws or warnings, are actually powerful signals guiding us toward healing, self-awareness, and transformation. Instead of avoiding our red flags, we embrace them as opportunities to look inward, reclaim our power, and create lasting change from within.
OUR VISION
A non-judgmental world where everyone feels empowered to be their authentic selves, free from the pressure to be perfect.

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."
