So sit back, enjoy.., and listen to us bare it all..

After getting through her NICU journey and finally into more of a routine at home (if there is such a thing, with twins..) Brianne started to focus on her selfcare.

I wanted to have more conversations about plant based wellness, more specifically CBD because I think its such an important and healthy self care opportunity that is still relatively newly accessible to mainstream consumers and I don’t think people know enough about it
Today, I am speaking with Amy Duncan who is the founder and CEO of Mowellens – a regenerative hemp CBC company. I met Amy through Instagram about a year ago, we have kept in touch here and there (Amy’s passion for life, health and wellness is contagious) – and we have finally made our way to this podcast together. I wanted to have Amy on because while the exposure of various CBD products is vastly growing, not all are made with the same level of quality, standards, and care.
Amy brings a deep understanding of the cannabis plant and 10 years in the healthcare industry, ranging from pharmacy, biotech and clinical laboratory. It was in the fall of 2016, preparing to launch a cannabis testing portfolio while running a genetics laboratory in Southern California, when her husband’s brain cancer returned. She stepped down from the laboratory to follow her own entrepreneurial dreams and start Mowellens.
Amy believes healthy soil creates the most nutrient dense and effective plants, foods, and products and guarantees that Mowellens products -from seed to soil to bottle, they honor the planet, their farmers, and the interconnectedness of us all. Beauty for a better you. Health goods to change your outlook on life. Results you can see and feel.
On this podcast, listen to Amy discuss how she built her life back up and towards this new direction after the loss of her husband, her education on CBD and their benefits, her recently acquired 77 acre farm for expanding Mowellens and her focus and views on the importance of self care.

Today, I pleased to speak with a friend of mine, Amy Welsman – founder of Paume. Paume is a nourishing hand sanitizer that’s better for your skin while also being mindful of the planet.
Prior to launching Paume, Amy has held many impressive careers. She started in advertising at JWT Toronto, she was the first employee at Knixwear, now a major women’s apparel brand, (and is now a share holder), she operated Welsman Corp, a consultancy firm and was a contributing lecturer for the Build a Better Business program at Shopify.
Amy’s idea to start Paume came to her when she and her husband brought their new baby, Eleanor home from the hospital. Being a new parent really heightened her awareness of germs and since she did not always have the time or opportunity to wash her hands with soap and water, she had stocked their home with plenty of hand sanitizer. However, they were harsh on the skin, they smelled terrible, and they were packaged in unappealing, disposable plastics. That is when it inspired Amy to create Paume - a unique, effective, nourishing formula with packaging that’s both elegant and sustainable.
On this podcast , listen to Amy discuss her start up mission and struggles, her creation of her own formula for Paume, starting a new company during Covid, and advice for new entrepreneurs doing the same!

Hi Everyone! Today’s podcast we are speaking to Catharine Arnston, founder and CEO of ENERGY BITS. With Covid winter upon us, we will be heading inside more so our health will become even more important. I found Catharine while listening to her on another podcast and I was so fascinated by her passion about increasing ones mental and physical health, I had to have her here with us.
This podcast will hopefully be a game changer for you. Catharine talks about her journey and years of research towards providing education about the benefits of Algae. Some benefits being - building your immune system, gaining more energy, nutrition and digestive support, providing workout fuel, detox and cleansing, increasing your physical and mental health, strengthening your hair and skin, increasing your focus, to name a few.
You can also give it to your kids and PETS! Algae is.., actually, food not a supplement.
Catharine started ENERGY bits after her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would help her heal. Catharine immediately sprung into action to help her sister research alkaline foods and in the process, she discovered algae. When Catharine learned that algae was the most alkaline, plant-based, nutrient-dense food in the world and had been used for fifty years in Asia to improve health and longevity, she knew she had discovered something big (and yes, her sister fully recovered - thanks for asking).
And with big thanks to Catharine, The Naked Point of View has an ongoing PROMO CODE for buying some Energy Bits! Use the promo code NAKED to get 20% off. Shop for them HERE!
