Show Notes
Ellie Haney, founder of Here For You Clothing, drew inspiration from her mental health journey and channeled her darkness into creative energy amid the COVID-19 pandemic by creating purposeful garments and finding optimism and resilience through the process. With her two childhood best friends, the team travels across the US, sharing Ellie's story and spreading the message that it's okay not to be okay, using their brand as a symbol of support and unity.
In this episode, Ellie Haney recounts her journey through the challenges of self-medicating during college, the pressures of living the perfect life, and drug-induced psychosis. She walks us through her path to understanding mental health, the support she found from her parents, and how the pandemic became a turning point with the discovery of tie-dying, which led her to discover her passion for creating Here For You Clothing. Ellie emphasizes the importance of therapy, uncovering your life's passion, and realizing no one is alone through difficult times. During Bridgett and Ellie’s vulnerable conversation, they bond over their experiences of self-medicating, suppressing emotions, and finding hope as the "cloud" of pain lifts. Ellie also shares her sobriety journey and how overcoming alcohol dependence has been key to her healing.
