If you were to guess where teen cannabis consumption was higher, would you assume states where weed is legal or illegal? The answer might surprise you! In today's episode, we tackle the tricky topic of talking to kids about weed. Navigating these conversations can feel overwhelming, but you're not alone. This episode provides a safe space to explore different perspectives and practical strategies from experts and parents across the country. Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting, and the same goes for talking to your kids about cannabis—we hope you’ll join us as we figure it out together!
“I'm sort of a hard line as a parent when it comes down to that sort of thing. You didn't leave bleach out. You don't leave the little pods for your dishwasher or your laundry machine. You put them away. And that's how I feel about prescription drugs, alcohol, how I feel about cannabis. I think that cannabis is just not that much different.” — Janet Matula

Did you know that men make up 92% of CEOs of S&P 500 companies? Embracing the spirit of “if you can see it, you can be it,” we continue our Women in Business series with Caitlyn Krebs, CEO and co-founder of Nalu Bio, a pioneering startup immersed in the cutting-edge world of cannabis biotech. Caitlyn shares how tagging endangered turtles in Hawaii as a kid ignited her love for science, how she balances the demands of running a company with two young children, and why she believes in “no-high” cannabinoids. Discover how Nalu Bio’s innovative approach is transforming cannabis into a vital everyday supplement, much like vitamins.
"I believe cannabinoids are the next big thing, much like vitamins were 70 years ago. Back then, no one knew what vitamins did or what they were for, but now everyone takes them."

Kristi sheds light on the personal and professional challenges she faces in the ever-changing weed industry and offers valuable insights into how she and her husband Scott built the brand from the ground up.

"I'm a lightweight consumer, and if I consume too much, I'm mad. I can't sleep. I'm like, who do I need to write a strongly worded letter to because it's not cool, right? Being a sensitive consumer, that's where I get mad. I don't get mad very often, but if I over consume because of somebody else's doing... it's not good."
If you enjoyed this episode, we’d recommend episode 183, Women, Money, Power and Cannabis. And if you haven’t already, we hope you’ll give Kiva’s weed gummies and chocolate bars a try!

80% percent of women experience period pain at some point in their lives, and menstrual cramps are the top complaint. That's probably why we get so many questions about CBD for period cramps. In this episode, we look at how weed can help ease menstrual discomfort. We'll discuss the science behind CBD's soothing effects and its benefits as a natural alternative to traditional pain meds. If you're interested in learning more about how CBD for menstrual cramps can fit into your well-being routine, join us as we explore real stories and research that highlight its growing use and effectiveness.
“Advil helped with the cramps, but it didn't help with that still unidentifiable pain that I have in my lower back. What did help was using CBD. And that's part of the reason why I never looked back after trying it for the first time. It became a passion for me so quickly because I was in such desperate need for it.” - Kerrigan
If you enjoyed this episode, we’d recommend tuning into episode 148, 'Living with Endometriosis? Here’s Why Women Trust Cannabis to Help,’ and episode 32, ‘Blackberry Kush: Period Pain Fighter”.
