Tell us about yourself
My mother! She was taking 15 pills a day just for her restless leg syndrome. What about her depression, anxiety, aches/pains, diabetes, all more pills. The main issue is my mother grew up in a generation, as her father was also a police officer, thinking CBD was harmful or bad. My mother was not wanting to smoke anything did not trust oils or gummies. She was in fear of CBD, and I wanted to create the product she could take without fear or judgment.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
The most difficult challenge being a business owner is keeping a balance of boundaries with employees. Being a startup owner creates challenges needing more from staff than a normal 40-hour workweek. Getting the team to believe in the mission and vision while seeing the future growth of the company.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Instead of allowing the negative comments from a stranger to affect our day, we can apply a three-step process to help CALMLY communicate while providing a BALANCED conversation showcasing our empathy & compassion to DELIGHT to one another. Once we find the best version of ourselves, we can let go of the little things, create an alignment and see the best in others while having more compassion and empathy, ultimately making our world a better place.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Life is difficult, and helping others see that we are all doing our best, helps me to thrive through troubled times and no longer just survive. Showing the balance of Jenga, a game that most people know and understand the rules, makes a connection to life's problems and choices requiring balance. Now try playing a game of balance in the middle of the ocean, the ocean of you. Every human being is made up of 60% water, according to the journal of biological chemistry. Even our brain & heart are composed of 73% water. The lungs are about 83% water. The skin contains 64% water, muscles and kidneys are 79%, and even bones are watery 31%. Every individual human being is their own ocean, sloshing around crashing into each other. In today's fast-paced lifestyle, it is important to remember to find your Calm while keeping Balanced to showcase your Delight.
