Where are we at now that we are deep into the Coronavirus quarantine? 4 weeks in, waves of emotions surfed, relationships tested, friends, family and normalcy deeply missed... so where does that leave us right now, in this moment? Kirstan and Sarah share their personal experiences, including a few silver linings...

With this pandemic creating all time high levels of stress and anxiety, taking CBD can be a big help. With the current lack of clear regulation how can we best find out what cbd products are of high quality, correctly labeled and the safest to use?

Enter Austin Flohrschutz, a neuroscientist who is the Director of Science for Tru Potency. Tru Potency, is a website that sells cbd products, blind tests them themselves and uses a panel of experts to make sure you know what your getting. Tru Potency considers itself the consumer reports of informed cbd buying.

Austin sheds some light on why only 20% of the products they test make it onto their site, what is third party testing, what to look for in a good cbd (what’s the worst) and what are the best things to take now now during the Covid outbreak.

For the Dobson family, cultivating the land is a family tradition. Sisters Melany & Freya Dobson grew up close to the land in a family of farmers. Together with their brother Ben, they grow hemp on their farm Hudson Hemp & created their own CBD brand Treaty from the plants they grow there.

On the show they talk about their magical journey surrounded by wild horses in the hills of Mendocino, CA to back home East to reunite and work with their brother. We learn how regenerative farming uses hemp to heal the earth and in turn heal us.

The Dobson’s believe that the earth gives us everything we need and if we connect to the land, the land will provide for us.

During this global pandemic, one thing is ringing clear, We’re All in this Together. A virus, this virus, Covid 19, knows no borders, no race and doesn’t give a shit about class. As so many around the globe are quarantined, whether by mandate or choice, the need for connection becomes even stronger. The choice to quarantine and shut down businesses is for the greater good of All, especially for those who are vulnerable. This a universal pause button. Stopping the normal hustle of life. Giving us All the opportunity to look at our lives, our choices, re evaluate what is truly important and have gratitude. We are not medical experts or scientists. We are people, just like you, going through this crazy time and trying to figure it out. It is easy to get caught up in the collective Oh Shit!! which has everyone panic buying toilet paper. We are All human and fear of the unknown is real. As we hunker down and brace for what is coming, we want to turn our intention to our own humanity. In this collective pause, let us connect to ourselves with care, reach out to those we love and make sure they know our love and connect to each other as a whole human race, without boarder, without race, not giving a fuck about class! Because We are All in this Together!!

In our darkest times we can see our brightest light…
