I'm Not Gonna Lie

This week on I'm Not Gonna Lie we are happy to bring in a special guest that is part of a brand we have mentioned often. Jackie Cornell is Chief of Policy & Health Innovations for 1906, the Wellness and Cannabis brand that we have talked so much about on previous episodes.

Our episode today is one of a 3-part series about how Today’s cannabis user demands more than getting high. In part one we tackle the myth of the "pothead", dispelling outdated stereotypes, talking about what types of therapeutic benefits consumers are really seeking, stigma vs. policy, and even how the COVID pandemic has helped to destigmatize cannabis use.

Listen in and message us on social media to participate in the conversation - let us know what you think.

Topics covered:

-How COVID is destigmatizing cannabis
-Access difficulties for mental health services
-Beautiful and approachable brands
-Who's Canna-Curious?
-Is cannabis helping solve the opioid crisis?
-Stigma vs. policy
-How has the illicit market ebbed and flowed as a result of legalization?

In this week's episode:

Here's to you Mrs. Robinson… What do you think about the double standard of older woman, younger man vs. the other way around? Do you think there might be some trauma work that goes unrecognized when the younger person is male? We have some definite opinions between the four of us and as usual, they don't always align perfectly.

And...if you stay til the very end you may just possibly hear the funniest conversation between 4 women you have ever heard. Listen in and message us on social media to participate in the conversation - let us know what you think.

Topics covered:

Is Playboy still a thing?
Mrs. Robinson - heroine or predator?
Want vs. Love
Are you fluent in sex emoji?
Kids and social media
Kellie finally LOVES
Dani's learning about boundaries

In this episode, we talk with guest Michelle Aspinwall - Age Alchemist, international best selling author, integrative bio-hacker and creator of A Skin skincare line for women over 40.

Michelle was a wealth of information for those of us women over 40 who are either beginning to or have started the journey into menopause. We joked about her ability to guide us onto the "on-ramp" so gently, allowing us to just imagine that it is actually another beginning phase of life to actually embrace and (dare we say) look forward to.

As usual, her generosity with sharing insights left us with some really amazing "nuggets" - how to navigate sugar cravings, how the sun can improve your sleep... So much good stuff!!

In this week's episode:

Even in their 40's, women still have insecurities. This episode had a bit more serious vibe than others, but we still had some fun exploring some of life's more serious topics. As we contemplate how to check our own egos (GRACEFUL self-deprecating humor helps) we also try to balance it with the empowerment that has come with age, experience and that wonderful "give no F*CKS" attitude we all seem to embody.
