The Canna Mom Show: Recent Episodes
Joyce Gerber
Are you interested in hearing inspiring cannabis stories told by real women – moms and caregivers - who are breaking barriers and building businesses in the emerging cannabis industry? This is the podcast for you! Former family law attorney and mother of two, Joyce Gerber, talks with women from coast to coast who are leaders in the revolution of cannabis and caregiving. Together they are crushing the cannabis stigma by empowering women’s voices, one canna story at a time..
First, thank you for five magical years!
So, do you ever wonder about the behind the scenes of The Canna Mom Show? How did we find Dave? Why do we have the intro we do? How does all the magic of podcast distribution work? What are the challenges of social media and cannabis? What could the future look like for The Canna Mom Show? And what will I be doing next year? Well, today you’re going to find out answers to all those questions and more.
Today we are inviting my canna bro David Yas to reminisce about the early days of TCMS and what we’ve learned. Also, if you have ever wanted to do your own podcast, we are going to ask Dave for a few pointers and how Pod617 could be a great place for you to start.
And we’re talking with Kristin Souza whose been working with TCMS this year on our social media and marketing. She’s going to talk about what she’s learned about podcasting this year and how she’s planning to continue TCMS conversations in the future.
And if that were not enough, in addition we are also excited to talk with Dr. Benjamin Caplan about his work educating the medical world on cannabis and the podcast he’s pitching and I’m hoping to contribute to.
Please welcome to the final interview of Season 5- our producer David Yas, our social media manager Kristin Souza and Dr. Benjamin Caplan.
Culture Corner: So, I am not a comic book fan, but I do appreciate the art of storytelling. And I’m Jewish, and always love to support my people. And I’m from Boston, so I had to give a shout out to The Writer, a comic book set in Boston and rooted in Jewish folklore. Created by brothers Ben and Max Berkowitz of the Legal Sea food dynasty, but it was their paternal grandfather, Nathan Glick, who inspired their love of comic books. The brothers teamed up with Grammy-winning and Tony-nominated actor Josh Gad to create the graphic novel. I have not read it, but I love the idea of taking deep Jewish folklore that’s been around for thousands of years and making it like an Indiana Jones adventure. They are celebrating Jewish identity and its broad array, and I think it’s an important story for our times. The Writer, a comic book, available now.

Aubrey Amatelli is the founder of PayRio, a payment processing solution for businesses in alternative medicine sectors. She founded PayRio on the heels of her successful career as an executive in fintech, which included over a decade with J.P. Morgan. Aubrey’s payments knowledge and her industry experience is incredibly valuable in the cannabis payments space.
In addition, Aubrey has a compelling and inspiring story as she's a single mom of three who's led her first startup to profitability in under a year. I love that we can share her inspiring success story in an industry where female executive leadership and business overall have struggled to survive.
PayRio is on a mission to normalize and stabilize payments for high-risk sectors, ensuring that businesses, whether they are dispensaries, delivery services, seed merchants, or e-commerce businesses, have access to compliant, fair, and reliable payment solutions.
We have a special segment guest today, Jamie Morey, founder of Parents for Plant Medicine – a grassroots advocacy group working to destigmatize and normalize the use of plant medicine and also fighting for the legalization of psilocybin.
Culture Corner: I want to recommend a rom-com I watched this weekend with Brooke Shields and Benjamin Bratt – Mother of the Bride. I love that Brooke Shields is my age, 59, and is starring in a romance with most adorable Benjamin Bratt. Set as a destination wedding in Thailand for Brooke’s daughter – it reconnects her with the man who broke her heart when she was 22. Fun, romantic and love seeing women my age starring in this type of movie. Mother of the Bride on Netflix.

Culture Corner:
One Life starring Anthony Hopkins. Based on the true story of a British man who helped save over 600 children – mostly Jewish - escape Prague right before the Nazi invasion in 1939. A truly moving story and timely given the rise in hate around the world. It is a story about why each one of us has the power to help others and that we may never understand the impact we have on this world with acts of kindness. The One Life movie is about an ordinary man who found out over 40 years later how impactful his actions were in saving those children.
Apple TV, Palm Royale starring Kristin Wig, Laura Dern, Allison Jenny and Ricky Martin, and Carol Burnet, so many great actors. Truly star studded. A campy story of Palm Beach Florida in the 1960’s, it can be cringy and serious and the clothes are fantastic. And Ricky Martin is so good and still so cute. Palm Royale.

Caroline has also become a major influencer in women empowerment, philanthropy and industry inclusivity. In 2022 she conceived and executed the first Green Goddess Invitational and she’s here today to talk about what’s happening in 2024!
Caroline has also focused a spotlight on the unfair local impact fees here in Massachusetts and supports advocacy for communities disproportionately harmed by the war on drugs.
Of course, this busy mom is also a foundational board member for Northern Essex Community College, and in 2022 helped launch the college’s progressive cannabis curriculum. Joyce speaks with Caroline from Haverhill, Massachusetts where she lives with her husband, Adam, their daughter, their son, and two big happy hound dogs.
Joyce gives a shout out to the Ganja Ball and Art Gala being held at the Revival Wheeler Mansion in Orange, Massachusetts. It’s said to be a haunted mansion!

Joyce speaks with Francie Hauck, one of the owners of Comm Ave Canna, and two of her very impressive employees, Natalie Mitchell and Christine Coates. Comm Ave Canna is a family-owned Boston recreational cannabis dispensary that’s more than just a store—it’s a legacy. Francie and John Hauck are the husband-and-wife team that brought Comm Ave Canna to life after they met romantically in Florence, Italy, ran a few successful Boston businesses and raised a family. Now with their sons, the family is working together building their vision and experiencing cannabis entrepreneurship. The ladies talk about the work they are doing, the people they are healing, and they have a very open discussion about cannabis consumption during and after pregnancy and the shame that continues to persist and how we are going to fix that.
In addition to our guests we also have a special segment guest, Jenna Goldring, founder of The High Confectionary in New York, low dose delicious gummies she believes are great for moms.

Kimberlee Kesterson and Jessica Carrollspeak with The Canna Mom Show from Missouri, where they are just a couple of Saint Louis moms who enjoy consuming cannabis. These two ladies created STL Cannamoms, to give mothers a chance to get out and enjoy cannabis at monthly events, which range from yoga or brunch to arts and crafts or a tattoo pop-up. Kim and Jessica talk about their mission, their friendship, and of course what it’s like to be pioneering mid-western canna moms.
International Cannabis News: RABAT (Reuters) – It was announced that Morocco's first legal cannabis harvest was 294 metric tons in 2023, after the country approved its cultivation and export for medicine and industrial uses, cannabis regulator ANRAC said. The harvest was made by 32 cooperatives that brought together 430 farmers covering 277 hectares in the northern Rif mountain areas of Al Houceima, Taounat and Chefchaouen, ANRAC said in an email to Reuters.

Cara Crabb-Burnham is an OG MA advocate – one of the very first canna moms Joyce met in Massachusetts. With over a dozen years of local cannabis industry experience, Cara has had influence in many aspects of the growing cannabis industry in Massachusetts including her work with Elevate Northeast, where she was on a team of cannabis industry leaders and educators and patients who shared a passion for creating educational programs and experiences that break stigma against the cannabis plant and those who consume and work with it. A mission close to our heart. She speaks with Joyce about a specific stigma she has experienced - and is experiencing again - as a pregnant woman consuming cannabis and what she has done and what she is hoping to do advocating for herself and others.
The Hemp Guitar Campaign is in full swing and on today’s show we preview the new promotional video. You can see it on TCMS YouTube channel and if you go to Lamkin Guitars landing page for the Hemp Guitar Campaign. AND, we will be at The Goods Dispensary in Davis Square in Somerville on April 20 to announce the winner. AND – late breaking news that Josh Lamkin, will be joining us live on 420 – maybe he’ll even play for us!

Arana Hankin-Biggers speaks with Joyce about envisioning and building The Travel Agency (formerly the Union Square Travel Agency) a cannabis store in New York City. Prior to jumping into the emerging cannabis industry, Arana was involved with one of New York’s most scandalous political episodes as well as dabbling in New York real estate. In addition, she has a very interesting family history connected to liquor prohibition that has parallels to ending cannabis prohibition. This includes her role in reversing the decades of harm on communities of color. Arana is especially passionate about using her voice to attract and support women into cannabis and the Travel Agency highlights women made products. She is also the canna mom of two.

Lisa Mauriello is the wife of the husband-and-wife team that founded Paper Crane Cannabis in Hubbardston, Massachusetts. Lisa and her husband Boey were both participants in Massachusetts’ first Social Equity Program, a program designed to offer training and benefits to those disproportionately impacted by the War on Drugs.
Their cultivation cannabis business is harnessing the great powers of nature and the knowledge that comes with decades of legacy cannabis experience, as Paper Crane grows terpene-rich organic flower that is deeply rooted in both sustainability and social justice.
Joyce is a big fan of Paper Crane Cannabis, which was first introduced to her at the Bong-and-Pong event last spring hosted by friends of the show at Stem Cannabis in Haverhill. Joyce speaks with Lisa about the products Paper Crane is creating, her real life canna romance, and all the ways she is adding value to our Massachusetts Cannabis Community.
Culture Corner
This week Joyce talks about the cannabis romance she’s authored –She’s Taking A Break.
When Annie McGrath returns to her home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, after being on the road with her husband’s band for twenty years, she moves back into her childhood bedroom to figure out how things in her life went so terribly wrong.
Dottie McGrath welcomes Annie home and is happy to have someone else in the house besides her ailing husband. And when Annie seeks a compassionate listener in Father Lorenzo - her next-door neighbor and childhood best friend – in the confessional, the threads of Annie’s life begins to unfurl.
Annie is a habitual cannabis consumer and throughout the story cannabis is normalized and accepted along with the unfolding story of Annie’s secrets, to upend the stigmas that have been created around cannabis use.

Kristin Rogers is the Co-Founder and Brand Manager for LEVIA, a Massachusetts based, cannabis-infused beverage brand. She entered the cannabis world as a licensed substance abuse and mental health therapist. For the first 15 years of her career, Kristin was on the frontlines of the substance abuse epidemic, advocating for substance abuse therapy, and reducing stigma in high-risk populations.

Kristin is now the brand manager for LEVIA and is using her steady and clear voice to promote ending the stigma, giving hope to those in need and advocating for much-needed cannabis research.

This is an international podcast as Joyce speaks with both Tori Moline, a 26 year old Canadian mom with Hyperemesis Gravidarum, and Lissa Skitolsky and Yael Marcus who discuss Jewish cannabis advocacy and why the cannabis community needs to care about what’s going on in Israel for both its national medical program model and the science originating in Israel.
Tori Moline discovered she has a genetic pregnancy condition, called Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), in 2021. The severe nausea and vomiting were not relieved by the multiple pharmaceuticals prescribed to her, but she found relief with cannabis. Tori discovered that cannabis improved her quality of life by increasing her appetite and decreasing her vomiting – but she kept this knowledge from her doctor and family out of fear and stigma. As a former history teacher, she took it upon herself to learn the history of cannabis and came to understand that the plant was not the devil but rather a miracle for medicinal use.
Tori was inspired to help others, so she built her @GoldenTeacherTori platforms around educating moms about HG & Plant Medicine. Tori has founded a community of mom's working towards changing HG care and normalizing cannabis use during an HG pregnancy. She believes all HG moms should have access to cannabis and believes plant medicine is the future of HG care.
Dr. Lissa Skitolsky speaks with Joyce from her home in Canada and is an internationally renowned author and the Editor-in-Chief of Cannabis Jew Magazine. Yael Marcus is an experienced brand and business development professional who four years ago relocated to Israel to fulfill her dream to be part of the global medical cannabis/wellness industry. She lived in Kibbutz Nir Oz with her partner until her community was brutally attacked by Hamas terrorists on October 7. The discussion of her experience and why the cannabis community needs to support Israel is powerful and inspiring.

Joyce speaks with two inspiring women working in cannabis who are using their powers to create a narrative around healing, hope and love.

Mskindness B. Ramirez is an advocate, author, educator and all-around super star in the cannabis industry. Her own story is one of healing and passion to create a space for us to understand plant medicine in her role as a certified holistic wealth coach mompreneaur!
These ladies are joining forces and hitting the road with their newest venture – Feminine Forward Talks - a transformative mobile speaker series at the forefront of alternative health, plant medicine, lifestyle choices, and the evolution of wellness. Joyce will be joining them in Vegas.
Culture Corner: The Gun Machine Podcast
When you listen to this podcast you will understand how America was forged by the gun industry. This podcast is connecting American history, government involvement and the culture of the NRA to create a roadmap to show how we got here - and maybe with this knowledge we can unravel the myths and regain control over guns. We have given control to the NRA and the politicians who are beholden to them.
The most recent episode is focused on the NRA, and it’s a reminder of how a true believer can shape the narrative to create their vision of reality. The men who transformed the NRA in the 1980s from a group focused on sportsmanship and gun safety had a vision to make it all about distorting the 2nd amendment, and this has now become our national nightmare. We now live in a country with evangelized true believers who have organized their lives around a lethal weapon.

ENOUGH by Cassidy Hutchinson – Joyce says, “Cassidy was Mark Meadow’s aid who gave some damming testimony to the January 6 Committee - she’s been all over the interview shows – I saw her on The View, and I’d call her an APOSTATE – renouncing a belief – and that is a powerful person to be.”

We had intended to make the Season 4 Finale of The Canna Mom Show a very special interview, unfortunately things don’t always work out as planned. Guests postponed, a pet passed and then Joyce’s washing machine broke. This show, instead of Joyce interviewing anyone, she reads the first chapter of the “canna romance” she wrote and is calling, She’s Taking. A Break.
For a few years Joyce has been talking about how art influences culture, and believes a genre of literature she’s calling either “canna chick lit” or “canna romance” has a built-in audience in this podcast. So, she has taken this opportunity on her final show of Season 4 to share her work with you. Please sit back, get yourself a cup of tea or roll yourself a joint, an enjoy chapter one of Joyce’s canna romance, She’s Taking A Break. And if you want to hear more please reach out because she’d love to share the story with you!
“When Annie McGrath returns to her home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, after being on the road with her husband’s band for twenty years, she moves back into her childhood bedroom to figure out how things in her life went so terribly wrong. Dottie McGrath welcomes Annie home and is happy to have someone else in the house besides her ailing husband. And when Annie seeks a compassionate listener in Father Lorenzo - her next-door neighbor and childhood best friend – in the confessional, the threads of Annie’s life begins to unfurl.
Annie is a habitual cannabis consumer and throughout the story cannabis is normalized and accepted along with the unfolding story of Annie’s secrets in order to upend the stigmas that have been created around cannabis use.”

With extensive experience in product design and development outside cannabis, she is now focusing her intentions and gifts on cannabis. Along with her partner, Lana Van Brunt, Hayley has experienced all the ups and downs of financing a new canna venture and is now a wise woman leader who is sharing what she’s learned.
Hayley shares with Joyce her business wisdom, the importance of marketing stylish canna accessories and what she’s looking forward to as the canna world continues to evolve and change.
We also have a special segment guest, Dan Wittmers who has over fifteen-years in marketing and advertising and shares with Joyce his newest venture in the canna beverage segment.
The Culture Corner
Joyce recommends two podcasts, both by Rachel Maddow. The first is Bag Man, the story of former Vice President Spirow Agnew; and, the second is Rachel Maddow Presents: Deja News, which is a six-episode podcast looking at historical incidents that can teach us lessons about current events. Bag Man is interesting for its parallels to what is happening now with the Department of Justice and the indicted former President.

Joyce speaks with two power women who are making their mark in the cannabis world and are sharing their stories in the second edition of Courage in Cannabis.
Amie Carter is a mom on a mission. In 2018 Amie petitioned to list Autism as a qualifying condition for medical cannabis in Michigan after utilizing cannabis to help her son, and she has become a dedicated activist for cannabis for families in similar situations. Amie hopes to make access to cannabis and use easier across our country by working to help pediatric and adolescent patients gain the same equal rights as those who use traditional prescribed medicine. Amie’s dedication to helping others guided her to be a candidate for the Michigan State House of Representatives in 2022 and she continues to invest her voice in the ongoing cannabis conversations in Michigan.
Mskindness B.Ramirez is an industry veteran and master educator. She is the CEO of Club Kindness, a representative media network built to educate families, foster connections and sustain communities for social change. Mskindness is fueled by over twenty-years in the public education sector and the passionate desire to share inclusive health practices with her community. Joyce also asks her the story behind her wonderful children’s book, “The Root Family’s Very Special Garden.”
The Culture Corner:
Joyce recommends a new book by supreme court journalist Dahlia Lithwick, Lady Justice – Women, The Law and the Battle to Save America. The book highlights the stories of women who stepped up when needed and made a difference. Women like Stacey Abrams, Sally Yates and so many others.

This is a very special podcast that we recorded LIVE at The Goods Dispensary in Davis Square in Somerville, Massachusetts. The Goods in Davis Square is a one of its kind recreational dispensary – Joyce’s local dispensary – and Joyce is speaking with the co-founders, a budtender and each other about what it’s like to work at their dispensary, how it feels to be a customer and why this place is so special.
Alex DeGroot and Chris Vining are cofounders of The Goods dispensary in Somerville, Massachusetts. Alex came to cannabis after a career in real estate where he helped to build the Redfin brand and northeast operations. Chris previously had a career in bio medical devices and software.
Alex oversees the goods arts and community initiatives and can often be found re-arranging demo products or dreaming up a better pre-roll display. He is the father of two and feels extremely lucky to have a wife who has put up with him through the roller coaster ride of opening a new dispensary.
And Chris is the resident regulatory and paperwork whiz, overseeing all of the complex financial management and planning that goes into building a successful business and dispensary.

So she jumped from 25 years as a writer and director in film and television to build HiBnB, an online marketplace dedicated to growing the cannabis community by providing four pillars of engagement.
Joyce speaks with Elizabeth about creating HiBnB, the importance of having a mom with entrepreneurial passion, and what it’s like to be a pioneer in the burgeoning canna tourism world.

Payton Shubrick is a dispensary owner and operator in Springfield, Massachusetts, and she shares with Joyce how her journey into cannabis was not an obvious career path. After graduating from college, she wanted to return to her hometown to support the community that supported her and Payton found herself working with her local city government where she was introduced to the emerging cannabis industry. With the epiphany that cannabis could be something both beneficial and monetizable, she began her journey to become the CEO of a women-owned, black-owned and family-owned dispensary in Springfield, 6 Bricks Dispensary. Payton shares with Joyce her journey into cannabis, why she’s so committed to her community in Springfield, and what the secret sauce is of her family business.
Joyce also speaks with sisters Rileigh and Ashleen Aguilar about their dispensary training program Take Root and why they are Chronic Gals podcasters.

Lauren Mundell speaks with Joyce today from Colorado where she is using her public relations and marketing skills to develop the Hi-Curious content marketplace. Lauren found her own healing through micro-dosing cannabis, and was inspired to spread her understanding of the health benefits after a lifetime of believing cannabis was dangerous. She is now laser focused on connecting small and medium cannabis businesses with cannabis creatives to transform the cannabis marketing world.
Lauren and Joyce discuss her transition away from her corporate New York marketing lifestyle, her original vision of an on-line cannabis community, why she is now focused on solving the cannabis marketing problem, and how it feels to be a very cool canna mama.
Joyce also gives a shout out to Massachusetts cannabis sales hitting a record of just about $1.8 Billion in 2022, a drastic increase from that first retail sales in 2018 that were just $6.1 Million. Joyce reminisces on November 20, 2018, when she was in Leicester for that first day of legal retail cannabis.

So today we do not have a guest because this show is about TCMS and Joyce - two topics you must care about because you’re here, so thank you. Joyce uses today’s podcast to showcase why finding a place for her bossy girl voice in cannabis is so more important and how she’s found a purpose helping those doing the work influence the direction and impact of cannabis - hemp and marijuana. She shares her personal story about plans that didn’t work out as expected and why it’s important to have a dream to work towards. And Joyce also takes advice from her favorite politician Tip O’Neill who always said, “people like to be asked” and on today’s show she’s asking everyone to share their favorite episode of The Canna Mom Show.

Kaitlyn Fitzgerald joins The Canna Mom Show from Arizona where she is doing good in the emerging cannabis industry with her small business marketing skills. She shares with Joyce her canna story that includes an interesting twist on a mother-daughter cannabis journey. Kaitlyn is a cannabis marketing specialist, and in addition to starting her own firm, Baked Brand Studios, she is also the director of strategy and accounts at Majic Plants which is a collective of savvy marketers and inspired creatives supporting brands in the cannabis, plant medicine and wellness spaces.
But her story begins as a very young caregiver for her own mother that influenced her opinions of pharmaceutical medications and led her to find cannabis for her own healing that grew into a passion for helping others. On today’s show she shares her professional journey from tech to cannabis, and how a childhood spent watching her own mother’s medical struggles led her to become the advocate she is today.
Joyce also talks about her night at the Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge at the immersive art experience called Solstice, a reflection of winter lights. And she gives a shout out to Bountiful Farmswho just launched a new line of culinary edibles in collaboration with a renowned Michelin Star chef.

On today’s show Joyce shares the most inspiring mother – son canna story! A true OG canna mom Wendy Turner shares her family’s journey to Colorado that ended with a new life mission but began with a parent’s worst nightmare. Wendy helped her son Coltyn find healing through cannabis and both have gone on to become the people they needed when they were seeking help healing with cannabis almost a decade ago. The cannabis plant saved Coltyn from a life of debilitating pain and he now spends his days as a voice for pediatric cannabis care and is driven every day to create a better world that includes access to quality cannabis medicine.

Joyce has been a fan of Jane West for many years and is very excited to share Jane’s story with you. Jane West has evolved from a canna-friendly event planner to a canna brand, and has faced many of the challenges of the cannabis industry including job loss, public scrutiny and a raid that upended her professional and personal life.
In 2013 Jane was hosting cannabis-friendly parties designed to normalize consumption in Colorado, but her events were so popular and cannabis so new that in 2014 a SWAT team shut down her 4/20 brunch event. That changed the trajectory of her canna story. Soon after she helped found a women empowerment group - Women Grow - and held the group’s first networking meeting. In 2016 she created a first of its kind company making glassware and accessories for flower lovers like her and so many others.
On today’s show Joyce shows off her Jane West collection pieces, and Jane shares her canna-business saga and how it feels to be a canna mom of teenagers.

Lisa Finelli Fallon is the co-founder of Boston Cannabis Week, New England's first week of events dedicated to the professional cannabis community. Now in its fourth year the BCW continues to focus on education, health and wellness, art, music, networking, sports, fashion and cuisine. The mission of Boston Cannabis Week is to normalize the idea of cannabis in our communities, and their focus is to connect educators, entrepreneurs, industry leaders, community representatives, media, retailers and consumers in a unique, engaging and professional setting. Lisa is using her expertise in creating virtual and in-person experiences celebrating cannabis culture, community, academia and lifestyle in her role at BCW. Joyce and Lisa talk about BCW’s origins, the great success it was in September, how to talk with kids about cannabis, and why people living in Massachusetts are called Bay Staters.
Joyce gives a shout out to an article from Marijuana Moment arguing that when cannabis is on a ballot it usually wins, which means it brings people out to vote. This November cannabis is on the ballot in Arkansas, Maryland, Missouri and both Dakotas, North and South. And, in Colorado psychedelics are on the ballot. This normalization is happening so let’s keep the movement going. To all our sophisticated stoner listeners, please vote.
And if you’d like to support our mission of crushing the stigma around cannabis and caregivers please reach out to our team to learn more about TCMS sponsorship opportunities.

Makaila shares insights into her unique offerings and how The Ghetto Apothecary is catering to an expansive demographic who can benefit from Makaila and Kiara’s knowledge about lifestyle, alternative medicine and wellness. Their North Carolina modern-day pharmacy brags a satirical name that Makaila hopes will support destigmatizing cannabis wellness use.

Jessilyn Dolan joins Joyce from Vermont to discuss how her experience as a nurse focused on both supporting patients and conducting research on multi substance and opioid use disorders propelled her into the world of cannabis for health.

She is also a patient and a caregiver and has spent decades cultivating and crafting medicinal herbs. In addition to her healing work she is also using her unique voice as a board member of the American Cannabis Nurse Association, president of the American Nurses Association-Vermont, chair of their legislative advocacy committee, founder of the Vermont Cannabis Nurses Association, and co-founder of the Green Mountain Patients Alliance.

Sarah Cotterill joins Joyce from Indiana, a non-friendly cannabis state. Sarah shares with Joyce why she decided to bring her experiences as a healthcare attorney, corporate executive, entrepreneur, farmer, athlete, yogi, mother, daughter, sister, partner, and friend to create and scale cannabis businesses and products that support agricultural and personal regeneration. Sarah also explains why her newest business venture, SHIFT is more than a product. It's an idea. It's a mentality. It’s a delicious chocolate bar. Joyce speaks with Sarah about her life as an entrepreneur, hemp pioneer and mom, and why her professional goal is to help people fall in love with being alive and to co-create and transform regenerative systems - both in their own lives and on a larger scale.

Lucinda Cross is a small business consultant and co-founder of LucidaClub, a curated cannabis retail experience which was created to re-imagine the cannabis retail experience for the canna curious. LucidaClub helps the new cannabis consumer who may know the experience they want, but they don’t know how to find it.

In 2019 Joyce ordered her first hemp business cards from Erica Halverson’s business, the TINY e PAPERCompany. Uniquely, TINY e PAPER makes 100% pure hemp paper on a commercial scale utilizing both hemp stalks and the waste from CBD extractors, which is addressing several problems now faced by the cannabis industry. Erica is on a mission to sell her products and run her business using smarter resource than trees in addition to utilizing the waste being generated by a rapidly growing sector of the cannabis/hemp industry. Joyce and Erica cover a lot of topics ranging from Erica’s aha moments when she was working in Korea and hiding her cannabis consumption to her mission to make the cannabis industry a leader in hemp packaging by keeping control and making it all here in America.

Pamela Staley, aka Ms. Pamela Sativa, has a big canna story! Joyce was introduced to Pam on Clubhouse with Miss Khadijah Adams, where women leaders in the cannabis industry meet to share and empower. We love her. Pam joins us from Oklahoma where she is a horticulturalist, plant intuitive, educator and flower show judge. Joyce and Pam talk about her years as a grower during prohibition, what she learned in her grandfather’s garden and why she didn’t make it to Woodstock.
The Canna Mom Show wants to thank Plymouth Armor Group for making today’s show possible as well as allowing Allie Lotzkar, director of marketing and business development, to share her remarkable canna-mom story.
Joyce also gives a shout out to Cryo Cure and its founder Tracee McAfee who has just patented a new method for cannabis drying and curing that woks in as little as 12 hours. It’s basically freeze drying but no rehydration necessary. For more info, check out their website, CryoCure.com.

We are leaping into our second part of the two-part series featuring the authors in the new anthology, Courage in Cannabis. Today we have another big show with Joyce speaking with Adilah Anwar, Joe Brennan and Dr. Jennifer Anderson, her co-authors in Courage in Cannabis. The book launch is now scheduled for December 13th!
Adilah Anwar is a trailblazer who has spent the past twenty years building a career which she describes as being on a non-traditional trajectory. From creating global campaigns for niche industries like solar and off-grid homes, to founding a global fashion brokerage in 2008, where she worked with some of the world's top luxury fashion houses in Milan, Italy. Adilah is a certified product owner, a global business system analyst, and a senior consultant at Deloitte Consulting. But her passion for the cannabis industry is why she was invited by Dr. Bridget Williams to share her story in the Courage in Cannabis anthology.
Dr. Jennifer Anderson is a physician in Canada, a mom and an advocate. Her cannabis story begins with her son’s illness but doesn’t end there. She shares with Joyce her mission of pushing boundaries in cannabis care, and why she knows cannabis can bring a spark of life to those who need it most.
Joe Brennan’s cannabis story is also one of health, but that of his dad and uncle. Following their deaths in 2013 he discovered CBD and that was the beginning of his journey to help others.
And thank you Courage in Cannabis for your support.

Kelley Bruce is the very first canna mom Joyce met so many years ago, and she’s happy to be sharing Kelley’s story with you today. Kelley Bruce lives in Humboldt County and founded the non-profit organization CannaMommy to support families who are looking for safe access to cannabis because she understands their fight. Kelley founded the non-profit to be ‘For Moms By Moms’ after her experiences as a mother of four children, cannabis advocate and child protection services target.
Cannabis helped heal Kelley from a serious accident, but she was also caught in a system not quite sure how to handle legal cannabis and moms. Despite being a strong advocate for moms and cannabis, she was caught up with child protection services in Colorado and was charged with endangering minors and other crimes. And while most of the charges were eventually dropped after she “rose hell” in the form of countless appeals, letters from the community, past employers, and her daughter’s father, she still got punished with years of probation. The experience is what led her to start CannaMommy.
And Kelley is now launching a new venture of canna curated boxes for moms in California with her Mom B2 Collection available at Canna Mommy.
The Canna Mom Show wants to introduce you to Freedom Grow an all-volunteer non-profit that is assisting cannabis prisoners regain freedom. Founded by Randy Lanier because he is on a mission, like so many in cannabis, to be the person he needed. Check it out.
And our special segment guest today, Tia Moskalenko of Ask Growers shares insights about cannabis strains and how to keep you pot fresh.

Windy Borman is the executive producer and director of a great documentary, Mary Janes: The Women of Weed, where she is highlighting the stories of women breaking barriers and building businesses in cannabis. Joyce loves the film and knows so many of these ladies and wants you to know them too. Windy and Joyce talk about why she took a leap into cannabis filmmaking, a few of the ladies in the documentary, and what inspired her to create a Puffragette movement.
And a quick reminder that The Canna Mom Show needs your support to continue sharing the stories of the women in the emerging cannabis industry, the pioneers! We are also preserving these stories, because pretty soon cannabis will be just another industry and we want women to influence the culture of this emerging industry as well as benefit from it.

Debbi Spranza is the Chief Learning Officer of Rocky Mountain Cannabis Consulting, and shares her professional journey from rule breaker to regulatory compliance specialist and trainer. She is the education and training nerd that the highly regulated cannabis industry needs more of.

Debbi shares with Joyce her journey from a young mom who climbed the corporate ladder to a cannabis entrepreneur at a women owned and led cannabis compliance education company that provides strategic operational consulting nationally. It’s a fairy tale cannabis story.
Joyce also gives a shout out to a new cannabis cookbook by Jazmine Moore, Chef Jazz, More Than A Cannabis Cookbook, which Chef Jazz wrote because she knows shedding a light on the relationship between cannabis and food will help those who suffer from common health issues.

Morgan is now back on the east coast as a microbiologist in New Jersey, and on today’s podcast she shares her insights with Joyce on the emerging New Jersey cannabis legal market, specifically what’s going on in labs and what value she is adding to the emerging New Jersey industry and how to encourage more female scientists to join the cannabis world.
Joyce and Dave also dish about how the bicycle was tied closely to women’s suffragettes which Joyce learned about through a new novel, Spin, based on Annie Londonberry’s bicycle trip around the world in late 1894-1895, and why 1974 was such a great year for popular culture in California.

Penelope Hamilton’s canna story is filled with twists and turns and encompasses all of Joyce’s very favorite topics; pot, politics and religion. Penelope is on the cutting edge of advocacy in her home state of New York, but her story begins with a childhood illness and leads through a Mennonite marriage and transitions through many other communities where cannabis was taboo. But here she is today, breaking barriers and crushing stigmas as a New York cannabis advocate with her story of wisdom and persistence and healing.
Joyce also speaks with Brooke Westlake about the upcoming Women in Cannabis Expo being held in Reno in September 2021.
And congratulations to the winner of the Amazing Technicolor Cannabis Quilt, Allie Bear, the Canna Canuck. This is the second year in a row a Canadian has won The Canna Mom Show quilt and next season Joyce is planning on creating a t-shirt quilt!

Janet and Michaela crossed paths five years ago working in the cannabis industry.
Janet was working in a medical marijuana dispensary in RI implementing effective and necessary community outreach and education. Concurrently, Janet oversaw all aspects of marketing and capital raising for the company.
Michaela was working with a vertically integrated operator in MA and NH doing everything from cultivation to planning out dispensary operations and design. The ladies met and realized they shared a lot of the same passion and desire for the industry and in 2018, decided to join forces and pursue an adult-use license in the MA market.
Janet’s background is in holistic health and Michaela’s is in healthcare and the energy healing arts. Michaela and Janet combine all their experience to create a positive, educational healing environment at their MA recreational dispensary to help their customers find the right products to bring balance and wellness to their mind, body, and spirit.
Today’s podcast is time well spent listening to Joyce and her Canadian Canna-Mom Canna-Sisters, Reverend Kelly Addison, Leslie Andrachuk and Amie Reiman, talk Canadian/American cannabis, cannabis and kids, and the female cannabis movement. Reverend Kelly shares her cannabis mission as the founder and Managing Director of Kelly’s Green Lounge (KGL) in her small Canadian town, and how she came to be ordained a Minister in 2020 for “The Cannabis Church of KGL” which celebrates unity, community and respect. Leslie Andrachuk is a global digital publishing and marketing executive and founder of AlphaWomanCo, a diverse and inclusive independent media company. Along with our third guest, Amie Reiman, Leslie is co-founder of the Eve’s Collective. And Amie Reiman, founder of HIP lives, is Joyce’s first Canadian connection and the winner of the Bong for Mom quilt! Together these three powerhouse Canadian Canna-Moms are working to inform, educate and connect women in cannabis.
The ladies also share their insights into the powerful new documentary, Weediatrics, which shares the stories of families who need medical cannabis to heal their sick children and are risking punishment for their actions. The Canna Moms agree that the movie is a rallying cry to stop punishing parents for healing their children.
The Canna Mom Show wants to thank Cannabis Creative for making today’s show possible.

Vanessa Oliver is the new CEO of the Cannabis Wedding Expo. Vanessa transitioned from the tech industry to cannabis event-planning during a pandemic. As the mom of two and a woman who has leaned-in hard, she knows about stress and the problems women experience when trying to be perfect just to get in the door. Vanessa had a cannabis epiphany on her journey from tech to event planning, and finds herself at the center of a movement in event planning - cannabis centric weddings - just as we are moving forward and toward a future with real, in person events. On this week’s podcast Joyce and Vanessa talk about her transition from PTA mom to cannabis event planner, her personal use during this stressful year, and what 2021 event is she most looking forward to.

Ashley Elsner is a financial institution lawyer who holds both an MBA and a JD, and has found herself at the intersection of multiple male dominated industries. Although not a cannabis consumer in her youth, she spent a decade trying to heal her injured body until her father, a neurologist, suggested she try cannabis. So, she packed her bags and journeyed from Georgia to California to try an alternative treatment and regained her health. She was sold on the medical benefits of the plant. Now Ashley is using her unique professional skill-set to help those of us working in cannabis. Here today to share her own health story, explain how a financial institution lawyer found her purpose in cannabis, and what she sees as the future of legal payment processing in the firm she co-founded and is now COO of, Artery Pay.

“Make Commerce” is Sister Kate’s motto and you might not expect that because she is a self-proclaimed feminist revolutionary in a nun’s habit. Her idea that activism helps commerce is not traditionally advocated by your typical nun, but Sister Kate is anything but typical. Her journey from New York City financial analyst to Cannabis evangelist was circuitous, and on today’s show she shares the details with us. Sister Kate found her true calling when she learned to organize her life to be in tune with the moon, and she works every day with her community at the Sisters of the Valley in California where they put their beliefs into practice of putting Mother Earth first and second and serving the cannabis plant and producing some wonderful products for our health and wellness. We are so happy to begin 2021 on The Canna Mom Show with Sister Kate.

Adriana Kertzer is one of the founders of Plant Medicine Law Group, a boutique firm serving psychedelic and cannabis clients. Along with her partners, Serena Wu and Hadas Alterman, she founded this groundbreaking firm in 2020 with the mission to expand equitable access to plant medicine, and to help companies in the psychedelic and cannabis industries succeed in the extraordinarily complex emerging market. Adriana is a Brazilian-American, born and raised in Sao Paulo, who began her legal career as a corporate associate but her entrepreneurial spirit flourished in contemporary culture, real estate and cannabis. During the Obama administration she worked at the National Endowment for the Arts, a move not many corporate attorneys could pivot into. Adriana is also passionate about Jewish psychedelic culture and created the Instagram account, Jew Who Tokes, to explore the relationship between cannabis, psychedelics and the Jewish community.

Renee Engle-Goodner speaks with Joyce from her home in California and shares her story of transitioning into the cannabis industry from wine and academia. Her expertise in both chemistry and biology make her a unicorn in the post-harvest technology sector, but when she was first encouraged to use her unique skill set in the cannabis industry she was hesitant. Although the plant had never been part of her personal life, her native American heritage and her own father had always treated it as a medicine. Renee shares her story of why following the odd advise of the two women who were guiding her academic life allowed her to transition from academic research to industry research, and how she found her place in the regulated market in California. On today’s podcast she shares her canna story on why she is on a mission to use the lessons of the past to create the industry of the future without reinventing the wheel, and why she is encouraging her local community college to engage young people in the cannabis industry.

Diana Chung and Arica Hirsch are radiation oncologist who worked as partners on a mission to help patients use CBD to heal skin damaged by the medical procedures, specifically breast cancer patients. The two doctors spent long nights reformulating CBD oil in over 800 recipes in Diana’s kitchen after a full day treating patients. Their persistence paid off and their beauty business, Sunmi Beauty, was launched in 2018. Sunmi products are high quality because they were created by these two visionary physicians with ingredients that were intentionally and carefully selected. In addition, the serum and salve are manufactured in FDA approved labs to ensure quality. Now available on their website, Neiman Marcus, MyJane and other quality CBD retailers. The ladies talk about developing a beauty product, their personal journeys, and how the medical community is evolving around cannabis.

The founders of Hello Again Products, Carrie Mapes and Patty Pappas, are a perfect example of what modern middle-aged women can do when they need something that doesn’t exist. Carrie and Patty are both moms of children in their twenties, but when their children launched they became two LA empty nesters with a great idea that they made a reality. The pair met as young moms and their friendship led to a business partnership. On today’s show Joyce and the ladies talk menopause, health and cannabis vaginal suppositories.

Shanel Lindsay left her law firm job following an incident in 2009 when she had the epiphany that cannabis decriminalization was not enough and that she needed to fight for legalization. She is a force behind the 2016 Massachusetts legalization efforts, is an advocate for cannabis equity, and started her own Boston based company, Ardent, which has developed a couple of really great little decarboxylators.
Shanel Lindsay and Joyce are both alums of the Northeastern University School of Law, and Shanel was the first person who opened Joyce’s eyes to the potential of the cannabis industry when she was featured with a cover story in the NUSL alum magazine in 2016.
Shanel shares her story of transitioning from corporate law to cannabis entrepreneur, social equity in cannabis, and her advice to women - black women specifically - on the importance of capital and how to find investors.
And Joyce gives a shout out to a friend of the show Sherri Tutkus, founder of The Green Nurse, and shares her favorite thing this week - a cannabis romantic thriller, A Walk In the Park by Jill St. Thomas.

Dr. Jenelle Kim is the force behind the California based JBK Wellness Lab, named to honor her great grandfather to represent Dr. Kim’s long lineage with herbal medicine. By preserving the formulas handed down through her Korean family, Dr. Kim is honoring those who laid the foundation of healing she is building upon and improving. A hard worker who started very early in life on her path of healing with herbal medicines, she was only ninteen when she jumped in professionally. Then in 2012 Dr. Kim was one of the first CBD producers in California, although it took some nagging for her to agree. But she couldn’t help herself because she is a caregiver and healer. Now the mom of two boys she talks with Joyce - and special Canadian co-host Amie Reiman - about her mission to heal, how formulation works, and why she is working so hard to help medical doctors understand the healing powers of cannabis and other herbal medicines.

Speaking with us today from Florida is the president of the cannabis consulting firm Green Sustainable Strong. Scheril Murray Powell is an Agricultural and Cannabis attorney who was named one of the top twelve cannabis attorneys in Florida. In addition to being an accomplished attorney, Scheril is an advocate and cannabis radio personality. Attorney Murray Powell is the kind of lawyer who makes Joyce proud to be one too. Scheril’s belief that “practicing law and advocacy for the disadvantaged go hand in hand” is why she is such a powerful advocate in this new world of cannabis.
Scheril credits her own success to her hard working and strict Jamaican parents, and stays motivated by remembering that her son is watching and knowing she needs to be the light that he follows. And even though their conversation was a cut a little short, Scheril was able to share with Joyce her dream of becoming Reverend Murray Powell.

Chiah Rodriques is a second generation cultivator and Joyce describes her as a first daughter of the cannabis industry! She is also a mom of two and is a pioneer in the back to land movement. When just a teenager herself, she met her husband and started living off the land. They are now in their 22nd cultivation season. Chiah is a native of Mendocino County in northern California, where there exists the perfect climate for our magical cannabis plant to thrive. And for those of you unfamiliar with this area, it is part of the infamous Emerald Triangle that also includes Humbolt and Trinity counties.
Although dismissed by some of the big boys in the cannabis game, Chiah has proven herself and her vision with her company Mendocino Generations, an alliance of legal, permitted farms in Mendocino County working together to grow, breed and create organic and biodynamic herbal medicines. True clean-craft cannabis.
And if that were not enough, Chiah is also featured in the documentary Lady Buds, telling the powerful stories of six courageous women navigating the wild west of California cannabis.

Their 11 core strains flourish through sustainable cultivation methods to harness the power of nature and craft the safest, purest, cleanest cannabis products.
But Jenn’s journey with cannabis has not always been easy. She was only ten-years-old when her family left Grenada and started a new life in Boston where she grew up shadowed by the harsh realities of the 1990s drug wars during cannabis prohibition. On today’s show she shares her story of being a mom, pharmaceutical professional, cannabis patient and a leader in cannabis social equity.

Dani McQueen built her business, Old Man Farms, with her daughter on her back. Literally! Her CBD Subscription Boxes were nominated as one of the best new CBD products in 2019, however her story is really about advocacy and healing.
Born with an autoimmune disorder that required narcotics to control the pain, Dani did not consider medicinal cannabis until her daughter was born with the same condition.
Although Dani never had any intention of starting a cannabis company, she did enjoy being a lady who made sweets to help and heal. During the podcast interview Dani learned she had won two awards at NECANN right here in Boston, and we are so happy to be celebrating her success.
Although Dani encountered many obstacles on the road to healing herself and her daughter, she is here today to share her strong and proud mama story of giving and being given many gifts along the way of finding a way to heal with cannabis.
Now she is on a mission to help. Dani McQueen is the force behind Old Man Farms and Old Man Goodies in Maine, and on today’s show she shares a story of grit, persistence and purpose, and if you listen to the end you can find out who the old man is.

Meagan Lynn Pilawski is a member of the inaugural class at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy on her way to earning a Master of Science (MS) in Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics from her home in Florida.
Although not a career path she had envisioned when she was an oncology and palliative care nurse, it’s a pivot that now seems predestined. In 2014, just three months after giving birth to her son, she was diagnosed with MS. By the time she was 26 years old she was on thirteen medications and felt that MS had gotten the better of her. Then, despite her best efforts, in 2018 Meagan’s nursing career abruptly ended. But a new journey began. On this episode Meagan shares with Joyce and Dave her story of transformation and healing, and how it feels to be a pioneer in the world of treating cannabis as a pharmaceutical. And, Meagan explains why her son knows that cannabis is mommy’s “stinky medicine”, what her big idea about Delta 8 and women’s health is, and Joyce shares her favorite thing this week, The Buddy by Cool Buddy Party.

We are at the Epicenter of Care for our loved ones and ourselves. We believe that women are the driving force to bring cannabis wellness to the mainstream.

Julia Gosnell arrived in the cannabis world following an impressive thirty plus years in mainstream corporate America. She is also the mom of two, and the COO of Hippo Premium Packaging which she co-founded with Kary Radestock, a powerhouse in her own right.
Before quitting her corporate job in 2017 to focus entirely on cannabis packaging, Julia and Kary attended one of the first MJ Biz Conference in November 2015 in Vegas, and saw for herself the opportunity for cannabis packaging. But Julia wasn’t sold on jumping in yet.
However, when Kary established the Hippo Premium Packaging in 2016 Julia stepped up to help, and together they set out on their mission to provide superior products and services to the cannabis industry - with pride, passion and professionalism.
And although Julia has a personal relationship with cannabis, she is also the mother of a seventeen-year old daughter who for the first seven years was medicated heavily to control her seizures. But this brave mama educated herself on the powers of cannabis and transformed her daughter’s life.
The ladies are talking about cannabis as medicine, cannabis packaging and the potential for cannabis to renew American industry with Julia Gosnell, COO of Hippo Premium Packaging.

Valentia Valentine is a highly successful and accomplished professional in Carmel, California. She began her career in the commercial real estate industry where she served businesses throughout the Central Valley for over 25 years. But she speaks with The Canna Mom Show as the founder of Synchronicity Holistic, a state-of-the-art cannabis wellness center dedicated to patient care for both the adult and medical use.
Her cannabis journey began in 1989, after suffering from symptoms that her doctor first thought could be a brain tumor, but turned out to be Multiple Sclerosis. That diagnoses forever changed her life. It was a devastating moment for a mother and career professional, but Valentia refused to be a victim of the disabling disease and began to learn as much as she could about MS. From treatments to protocols; from traditional Western medicine to Chinese herbal medicines, Eastern philosophies as well as mind and body practices. As a result of her studies she became a self-taught expert and holistic health advocate. Her efforts focused on ways to minimize MS symptoms.
Although she had learned a great deal about traditional Eastern and Western medical treatments, she describes her experience with medical cannabis as nothing short of remarkable. The results were significant. Valentia had less pain. Her inflammation was more manageable. She slept. But most excitingly her mobility was significantly improved.
Valentia Valentine’s success has always come by helping others, and she has been focused on changing the public perception of medical cannabis. She has also spent a lifetime giving back and has become synonymous with philanthropy on the Monterey Peninsula. When not saving the world or running her businesses, Valentia is enjoying life with her large and wonderful family.

Johanna Nuding’s grandmother is not only named Joyce, but also shares the same birthday as The Canna Mom Joyce! A strange little coincidence. Johanna has a cannabis story that spans continents, beginning in her home state of Texas where she worked in sales on a prominent sports network, to NY for a radio apprenticeship, then back to Texas to work in real estate development. But then, just like a movie, she gave it all up in 2012 and had a life adventure in Italy. When she flew back to America Johanna headed out to California where she started her podcast, Casually Baked, and invested in her passion of helping people get paid for being themselves and educating others as a canna Sherpa.
Johanna is also Joyce’s podcast idol. When Joyce was just starting out she discovered Casually Baked and was inspired that Johanna wasn’t a dude in the basement smoking a blunt. It was inspirational! The Canna Mom Show is talking podcasting, marketing and the importance of learning life lessons through stories.

Sharon Grimes of Accounting4Buds speaks with Joyce and Amie from her home in Vermont, Amie’s happy place. Sharon learned about the cannabis industry from its numbers, literally. After working for almost ten years in the non-profit sector she pivoted into manufacturing where she really learned about accounting. In 2015 she stumbled into cannabis because CPA’s are required to keep learning. The continuing education credits she pursued allowed her to invest her time and intelligence in learning about the specificity of taxation in the cannabis industry, and we are glad she did. Today’s conversation explains the complications of 280E, how to allocate cost of goods sold, and why CPA’s are still not that interested in cannabis accounting.
Amie’s favorite thing this week are the beautiful smoking products by Stonedware Company.

Amy Larson, VP of Marketing & PR at Simplifya, speaks with Joyce and Amie from her home in Colorado. Amy’s work in cannabis tourism was a good learning experience that helped her see the necessity of professionalism in the emerging cannabis industry. Amy is the first person Joyce ever heard claim that professional cannabis years are like dog years!
During Amy’s tenure at an integrated marketing agency, she chose to invest her time in learning about the cannabis industry. She had an “ah ha” moment when she attended a panel of NFL players who spoke of the inequity of pushing opiates but banning cannabis.
This led Amy on a path to join Simplifya in 2016. She is a member of the National Cannabis Industry Association’s Marketing & Advertising Committee, and in 2018 was named one of the “Ten Influential Women to Meet.” And you are about to!

But just to make her story a little more interesting, she shares with The Canna Mom Show why she asked a convicted felon to set up her cannabis law practice last year.

A few months ago, before life as we knew it stopped, Moon Mother Hemp sent The Canna Mom Show a few samples of their full spectrum, certified organic CBD products and Joyce loves them! The face serum and topicals are both silky and smell great and are “Joyce’s Favorite Thing” on this week’s show. Today’s guest is Jessica Bates, founder of Moon Mother Hemp from Louisville, Colorado. She has been in and out of the cannabis and hemp industry for most of her adult life, and has been a practicing herbalist since she was twenty-six. Jessica developed her first line of products using medical and therapeutic herbs, but when her clients started asking she put CBD into her herbal products she reluctantly agreed, despite her family connections to cannabis. Then in 2018 Jessica encouraged her cannabis growing husband to invest in hemp farming and her CBD product line, Moon Mother Hemp, was launched. Now her beauty products are sold in Urban Outfitters, Organic Markets and through her on-line store for Moon Mother Hemp located in Boulder, Colorado. The ladies catch up and talk about mothering in the age of COVID-19, hemp farming and the future of cannabis after the pandemic.

Joyce reached out to Kristin Adams after seeing a post regarding her magazine story on cannabis beauty products on a professional women in cannabis Facebook group, which happened to occur – serendipitously- just 24 hours after a good friend recommended Joyce check out the media company Naturx, the magazine group Kristin is writing the beauty story for! Small world.
Kristin’s cannabis story begins after she created and sold her own beauty product line, After Glow Cosmetics, a new level of all natural cosmetic. Kristin’s goal for her cosmetic company was focused on educating women about what we are putting in our bodies because she wants us all to be consciousness and aware of the impact we can have in choosing better products for ourselves and the world.
Kristin has lived in many places around the country and the world, but presently calls North Carolina her home. Her professional focus now is to work with beauty businesses that can benefit from her hard earned wisdom. Kristin wants to help other beauty entrepreneurs with product development by consulting one on one with their brands. Her goal for each client and contact is to set them up for success, and has just created an on-line course on how to run a successful beauty product business. We are happy to welcome to The Canna Mom Show Kristin Adams of Satori Minds consultants.

Liz Kost of Fog & Tree was introduced to The Canna Mom Show by her sister Catherine who discovered The Canna Mom Show and thought her sister would make a great guest. And she was right.
Liz Kost has been working in the California cannabis industry since 2015 when she ran a design studio for multiple cannabis companies, many of them family run with women leading the way. She is now starting up her own cannabis business with her husband. Liz’s business is called Fog & Tree and they create all-natural, experiential products infused with beneficial cannabis essential oils. Cannabis plants, unlike the essential oils of other flora, have over 140 unique terpenes that vary with strains, which makes cannabis essential oils perfect for creating experiences that heighten the aromatherapy experience. And since Liz started as a cannabis packaging designer, her products not only smell great, they look beautiful too.
Liz Kost is a proud cannabis entrepreneur who was selected from over three hundred applicants to be one of only ten finalist enrolled in an Canopy Boulder Accelerator Program for cannabis ancillary and CBD business. And, she was supposed to appear on the Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch show this spring.
On today’s show we are talking terpenes, raising capital (as a woman), California cannabis and canna friendly mommy groups, and how Covid 19 is impacting the cannabis industry.

When Joyce just started The Canna Mom Show in the Summer of 2019, Amie Reiman of My Hip Life was one of her very first guests. Joyce is happy to have Amie Reiman back, and on this episode she introduces this Canadian Canna Mom Amie to our American Canna Mom Amie, and they get along great. On today’s episode Joyce and Amie catch up on her life in Niagara Falls and Amie shares her insights into the Canadian cannabis and CBD markets.
Amie R. developed Hip Lives, a website sharing her insights into the evolving cannabis industry, after she discovered the healing properties of this misunderstood plant. She is also the parent of a child who medicates with CBD and knows how parenting and cannabis intersect when a sick child uses CBD instead of pharmaceuticals, and the strength it takes to face the shaming and stigma that still sticks to cannabis and motherhood.
Joyce and the Amies talk about parenting, advocacy, the state of the Canadian cannabis market on this episode of The Canna Mom Show.

Julie Ann Mejia visited over 100 dispensaries across the country on her journey to heal herself with medical marijuana. Julie Ann Mejia’s personal cannabis story began as so many do, with the inability of traditional medical institutions to heal her pain. At the age of 27 she was seriously injured in a work situation which resulted in years of medications and the development of an autoimmune disorder. Julie’s first experience with cannabis as medicine was on a trip to Colorado with her brother and mom where her relief was almost immediate. Then in 2015 she became one of the first patients in Massachusetts to receive her medical marijuana card. Once her own body began to heal she set out on a mission to help others, and in 2017 headed out to Oregon to learn everything she could about the cannabis industry from cultivation to production. Upon her return to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts she went to work educating, advocating and healing. Please welcome to TCMS, Julie Ann Mejia or Holistic Hemp Solutions.

Joyce met today’s guests, Lynne Feal-Staub and Celia, at the Freedom Rally in Boston last summer. For anyone who is not familiar with this event, it is a day when the cannabis world takes over the principal park in Boston! It’s big and a little wild and it has a lot of men. But as Joyce was making her way through the crowds she spotted a beautiful yellow booth and made a beeline for it! So glad she did.
There she met a dynamic cannabis team led by Lynne and supported by her family. Joyce has been trying to Lynne, the creative force and founder of this very cool indoor grow pod that looks a lot like a lava lamp on the show since last September. Joyce and Amie are happy to introduce you to Lynne Feal-Staub and her daughter Celia, founders of SunBud Solutions in Vermont.
And stay tuned for details of the #ABongForMom campaign and find out what Amie’s favorite thing is this week from Mud Hedz.

The Sun Pod is an all-inclusive cannabis grow system (built-in state-of-the-art LED grow light, quiet fan, odor-controlling filter, and timer). Sun Pods are truly plug-and-play units and allow growing even in small spaces. A Sun Pod typically produces one to two ounces of cannabis in a three to four month grow cycle.
The Sun Pod is constructed from highly durable, 100% recycled aircraft-quality aluminum. And, it’s green! Recycling aluminum requires only about 5% of the energy it requires to extract it from the earth, making it one of the most environmentally friendly metals. Even the byproduct of aluminum production and recycling is used in concrete and asphalt production. And don’t worry about running out any time soon; aluminum is one of the most abundant materials on earth!
On this episode Joyce and Amie open up about themselves and their thoughts on the cannabis industry. Enjoy this lighter version of the ladies kibitzing on all topics cannabis from dirty bongs to the exceptional women working in the industry.

Mitzi Hollenbeck is a cannabis CPA and found her place in the cannabis industry after serving as a Selectwoman for her small New England town, Lakeville, Massachusetts. While serving on her local board she realized how ill prepared elected policy makers were to handle the fast moving business of cannabis. Mitzi is uniquely positioned to tackle this issue in the emerging cannabis world having both practical experience in local government and solid connections to cannabis businesses. She shares her story of persuading the accounting firm, Citrin Cooperman, that she was the person to lead the charge to help develop good business practices in the emerging cannabis industry. As her accounting firm was founded by their work in the world of Rock n Roll, they quickly agreed.
Mitzi understands those who understand the industry should be working to help others understand it too. She travels around the country sharing her knowledge and works every day to educate those around her about cannabis and business.
Joyce and Amie talk with Mitzi about local politics, Massachusetts municipal law, cannabis accounting and, of course, how as a woman and a mom she incorporates cannabis into her life. And Amie’s favorite thing is a beautiful piece of cannabis jewelry from High Society Collection.

Ellen Rosenfeld has been dubbed the Cannabis Queen of the Commonwealth, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts that is. Her cannabis company, CommCan - The Commonwealth Cannabis Company - is Massachusetts’ only self-financed, vertically integrated cannabis company that is family-owned and operated by lifelong Massachusetts’ residents. CommCan’s state-of-the-art 60,000 square foot cultivation facility built in 2017 is located in the bedroom community of Medway, Massachusetts.

Ashley Russell and her mom, Lisa Limehouse, speak to Joyce and Amie from their home in South Carolina. Although a prohibition state, this powerhouse mother-daughter team is on a mission to heal their neighbors and friends with their CBD products and their advocacy.
The ladies formed The Lotus Hemp in 2019 to share what they knew about the healing powers of CBD. Lisa had learned about alternative medicines during her years of traveling the world in her ministry, and when Ashley was diagnosed with MS in 2015 she traded her wedding planning business in and started on a new path for CBD advocacy.
And if that were not enough, Ashley and Lisa have started their own podcast, The Coffee and Cannabis Show, which Joyce and Amie can't wait to be on!
Amie shares her favorite thing, her experience at InTERPretasting and plugs their next event on March 6 in the cannabis capital of New England, Worcester, Massachusetts.

Joyce met today's guest at the MJBiz Conference in Las Vegas this past December, and today Kelly Young joins The Canna Mom Show from her home in Central Lake in Northern Michigan. Kelly's cannabis story includes her journey to heal from personal trauma, and her work healing others through her non-profit organization Free Relief. She has pursued several different paths in the cannabis industry that were all built upon her experience in her family's Michigan grocery business.
Kelly is passionate about her professional pivot into cannabis healing and has persevered despite numerous set-backs and road blocks. Although the constantly changing cannabis regulations required her to reconsider her original idea of mobile oil extractions, she is now focused on helping Michigan farmers and businesses through consultation at 7 Leaf Consultants, in addition to her advocacy and a line of CBD products sold through MyTCBD.

Barbara Frerichs created her line of CBD foot cremes, High Heel Hero, after a serious accident that left her with limited mobility and a great deal of pain. She's a serious entrepreneur, having started her first business in 1989 selling books, and hasn't stopped creating new businesses since. A few years ago she jumped on the CBD train with a friend from the Hamptons to help relieve her own pain, and the foot discomfort we all suffer from our love of really cute shoes.
As an experienced business entrepreneur she was well positioned to enter the emerging cannabis industry, but was still surprised by by the seemingly bottomless pit of banking and processing challenges facing cannabis businesses. Barbara shares her hard earned wisdom from her years in the emerging CBD industry and, of course, how she incorporates cannabis into her own life.

The Canna Mom Show went to Vegas in December to attend the Women of Cannabis Conference. Wow! So before introducing today's guest, Nurse Julie Battel of CED Clinic in Brookline, Massachusetts, Amie and Joyce tell what happened in Vegas. They share not just their introductions to amazing women like Hash Queen Mila Jansen , Business Entrepreneur Stormy Simon, and Nichole West (who shared her remarkable story falling into the rabbit hole of cannabis regulations and losing her way), but stories about all the women from across the country who gathered at the powerful event.
Then they introduce their guest, Julie Battel, who has a background in public health, obstetrics and was a mid-wife for thirteen-years. When she was diagnosed with an auto immune disease that left her with tremors she had to pivot professionally and started down the path in cannabis care at CED Clinic in Brookline, Massachusetts with Dr. Benjamin Caplan.
Julie shares her own cannabis health story and then explains the process for medical card certification, which can feel intimidating but is really quite easy. So if you've been thinking about getting a medical card in Massachusetts, this is a show for you.

When Doreen placed it on a shelf next to her decorative flower vases she realized they were twins! So in August 2015, Doreen began a six month journey of crafting her product line which culminated on April 20, 2016 (4-20, just to be clear) when she launched her one-of-a kind vintage bong business, My Bud Vase.

On today's episode Amie and Joyce are on location at the Cannabis Wedding Expo in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Joyce's hometown. They sit down with Madlyne Kelly who, along with her partner Bec Koop, founded Irie Weddings and Events in Denver, Colorado in 2016.
Bec and Madlyne both arrived in Denver from the West Coast in 2014 just as cannabis legalization was introduced. The idea for Irie Weddings and Events was sparked when Bec was running a floral business while working at a medical marijuana dispensary. In just five short years Bec's spark of an idea is now a multi-state event business and the first cannabis catering business with liability insurance. Very important!
Madlyne shares insights from her work in medical marijuana compliance and how that influences her work in recreational cannabis event planning. And she explains how her passion for compliance and responsible social consumption impact her mission to make all couples feel accepted and celebrated on their wedding day.
Joyce and Amie are especially excited to share this story with their Boston listeners because Irie Weddings and Events is now up and running for Boston! And of course, they find out what Madelyn's favorite way to consume is and get to learn about some of her favorite things from the Harvest Cup.

As the daughter of a police officer, her personal transition into the legal cannabis world is only the beginning of the cannabis story she shares with Joyce and Amie. Marie explains how she is incorporating her corporate work experience in the wild-west world of CBD, the creation of her website which launched on November 4, 2019, and how she is creating positive CBD experiences for all her customers.

Joyce and Amie are in studio with the founder of Genus Viriditas, a cannabis business that helps curious people understand the modern-day cannabis industry.
Kate Morgan is the CEO of Genus Viriditas and is launching Live Lilium on November 10, a brunch and cannabis event. Kate has years of professional entrepreneurial success under her belt. She began to hatch the idea of Genus Viriditas after the town she and her family lived in shot down a proposal for a laboratory for medicinal cannabis. While cannabis was not something she had been experimenting with at the time, she had a friend who used it to alleviate pain during cancer treatment. As more states began to allow for recreational use, Kate found a role for cannabis in her lifestyle. Kate Morgan is passionate about using her voice to influence society’s opinion so professional women can enjoy and appreciate the many benefits of cannabis.
Kate talks about her transition to cannabis entrepreneur and how she plans to engage professional women with cannabis in a way that is comfortable and fun. And, Joyce and Kate dish about how it feels to send their daughters off to college and what cannabis advice they shared before dropping their girls off at school.

Dismantling the framework of shame built beneath the truth of cannabis is
Heather Dagley’s mission. Heather hosts the website Bud and Blossom where she
shares her insights on how cannabis use can contribute to your “best life.”
Although not a mom, yet, she already knows what all mothers need to know: That
when we take better care of ourselves, we are more capable of taking care of
others.
Heather shares her story of loss, discovery and healing. Specifically, how
she discovered the healing powers of cannabis after a personal tragedy and how it
helped her prickly cat, Thomas, find his inner purr.
In addition, Heather will be a guest blogger on Pro Cannabis Media where
we will feature her three-part series of inspiring stories about women working in
the emerging cannabis industry. She will focus a spotlight on how women in the
cannabis industry are supporting each other and why women are attracted to
cannabis. Could it be because cannabis is a feminine plant and it has the potential
to care for so many in our world? Check out Heather’s blog on Pro Cannabis Media to find out.

Canadian Canna Mom, Amie Reiman, started Hip Lives, a website sharing her insights into the evolving cannabis industry, after she discovered the healing properties of this misunderstood plant. Joyce and Amie talk about how parenting and cannabis intersect when a sick child uses CBD instead of pharmaceuticals, and the strength it takes to face the shaming and stigma that still sticks to cannabis and motherhood.
