The admins of Classy Chicks, a Facebook group run by Rachal Wetzel and several of her closest friends, created this podcast to open up a space for individuals to discuss their journeys through things like addiction recovery, grief, sexual assault and domestic violence, mental illness, chronic physical illnesses, and much more, as well as how they have healed themselves. Classy Chicks is a group for women, run by women. The group is centered around educating women, allowing them to have a safe place to give and get advice, as well as creating an escape from the chaos of today’s world.
