In this episode of the How to be a Redhead Podcast, we’re diving into the emotional side of redhead identity — from strawberry blondes who feel “in-between,” to redheads who have struggled to love their hair, to the big question: is bullying really a rite of passage for redheads? We pull themes from real Reddit discussions and share our own experiences around insecurity, acceptance, and confidence. Whether you’re a lifelong redhead, strawberry blonde, or just curious about the redhead experience, this episode is a reminder that every shade has a story — and confidence starts with community.
