Kayley Reed: Turning Personal Struggles Into A Thriving Business To End The Stigma Around Mental Health


Listen Later

What were you doing at 20? Probably loving life, going to school somewhere and possibly thinking about what you might do after graduation. For my next guest, some of this was definitely true. But she also faced another issue -  she was dealing with her own internal struggle; an eating disorder and she felt like she was all alone. But life can be funny sometimes. You can be put in a situation where you feel like there's no way out, and then you meet another soul who's going through something similar and offers a helping hand. That's exactly what happened when Kyle MacNevin and Kayley Reed met while volunteering at an event in support of mental health. Their friendship expanded into a business relationships after they created a clothing line called Wear Your Label to help end the stigma around mental health and three years later, a ton of hard work and dedication, the company is thriving with multiple partnerships, international press coverage and a slew of loyal supporters. We discuss all the ups and downs of falling into entrepreneurship, how she deals with her own mental health issues, the different organizations they are working with and why a clothing line seemed like a great way to get their messages out to the masses. And so much more. And most importantly, if you are dealing with a mental health issue, just know that you are not alone. Do not suffer in silence- be sure to reach out to someone if you need some help.
