We're back for a special bonus episode where we're joined by Hannah Beecham, the visionary founder of RED January. Hannah's journey from personal experience to nationwide movement is a testament to the power of collaboration and shared passion. In her own words, "You don't need all the answers. Really surround yourself with people and collaborate, invite help, support." Hannah's insights into the importance of community, shared passion, and the ripple effect of belief are truly uplifting and inspiring. Hannah reveals the heartfelt origins of this nationwide movement, ignited by her personal experience navigating her mother's depression. She chats about the challenges and growth of Red January, the barriers to movement, life as a female leader and the power of collaboration in effecting positive change. Discover how Red January has grown into an impactful movement and hear Hannah's advice on starting your own cause and the transformative impact of shared passion.
