In this compelling episode, I sit down with Alex Mitchell, the inspiring host of the Invisible Iconic Podcast and the innovative Founder of Invisible Iconic and Endo Circle. These two impactful small businesses are dedicated to providing educational resources and events for those dealing with chronic illnesses.

Alex opens up about her journey, shedding light on her four-year experience as a legal medical cannabis patient. Alex's story is nothing short of inspiring, from her battles and victories with chronic illnesses to steering businesses that create a positive impact.

We cover a lot of topics in this episode including:

* Who is Alex?

* When did she start to realize cannabis was helping her medicinally?

* What’s an average day for her like with chronic illness?

* Getting her quality of life back

* The biggest misconception about being a medicinal cannabis patient
