On the surface, Rosie Hope Gregory sounds like your regular girl next door. She’s calm and composed with an infectious energy that is hard to miss in a room. What not many know, though, is her ongoing struggle with mental health that stems from a perfectionist and overachiever mentality.
Like all of us, though, she’s been through her fair share of challenges. Challenges that don’t

How can we shift from a culture that stigmatizes mental health to one that openly addresses it? How can we start to end the stigma that mental health “issues” are embarrassing?
