In this week's episode, Amanda interviews OC-famous SheWeed founder Maren Earn, whose mission in life is to live out her dreams. Having pushed through extremely horrible tragedy and suffering, Maren was determined to make a difference in this world. By founding her very own feminist CBD & marijuana company, raising her three Jewish children in a modern way (exposing them to marijuana as a medicine at an early age), and inspiring 21st century women everywhere, Maren has done just that. Listen to what Maren has to say about being a trail-blazing woman in the marijuana and CBD industries, living a "not-so-normal" OC mom life, and conquering one's fears despite previous trauma and roadblocks.
Ever since meeting Maren, Amanda has supported SheWeed's CBD to the point where she takes it literally every morning and night to help with her situational anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, and skin. Her mother, Dr. Tina West, was so inspired by Maren's story and her products' effectiveness that she began to sell SheWeed CBD at her dermatology practice in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Together, ARW believes, us women can help each inspire each other with dreams, innovative business ideas, and life-changing products. Purchase her products through her Instagram (@sheweedcbd) or the West Institute's Instagram. (@westinstitute)
