We encounter them frequently as professional Black and Brown women, sometimes even daily. They're microaggressions, covert forms of discrimination that can take an emotional toll on employees who are members of historically underrepresented or marginalized groups. Microaggressions shatter our confidence, causing us to question our abilities and self-worth. In our efforts to prove ourselves, we may also face burnout. How do we overcome microaggressions and avoid burnout? How can we cultivate the resiliency to bounce back stronger when we encounter discrimination in the workplace?

We sat down with Ashley Wynn-Grimes, experienced RN, author, and founder of Cannabis Nursing Solutions. Before starting her own business, Ashley found herself in some “sticky situations” that led her to re-evaluate her career path, and her health as a whole. Spending time researching holistic ways to get her life back on track, Ashley found her purpose in integrative medicine and opened herself up to a world of functional, holistic healing modalities, which of course, include cannabis. Things have never been the same for her since! In 2017 Ashley started honing in on her process for using cannabis as medicine which led her to establish her business. Through Cannabis Nurse Solutions Ashley provides education on cannabis to a wide range of clients.. Not only does her course break down the stigma of cannabis use, but she also helps other nursing professionals start their own cannabis consulting businesses!

The incredibly balancing endocannabinoid system's benefits are being overshadowed by the stigma of marijuana and getting high. Unfortunately, most educators and medical providers are not fully educated or have written off medical marijuana as an ineffective medicine due to it's stigma. Sadly, what's being overlooked is that research has found life's stress depletes the endocannabinoids that provide calm and balancing within your body. There are many plants, not just just the cannabis plant utilizing this same pathway to help restore balance. Many are finding that using cannabis in combination with other plant medicine or on it's own is providing the sedative effects they desire. As a nurse Ashley Wynn-Grimes found that many patients were benefitting from cannabis but were feeling stigmatized for their use of medical marijuana. So Ashley founded Cannabis Nursing Solutions, authored two books “Stigmatized”, and the children's book “Asa's Medicine” to empower patients and nursing professionals to make informed wellness choices when it comes to cannabis. She's since went on to create educational medical programs for nurses to better understand and educate patients on their choices and options when it comes to using cannabis based medicine. In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause interviews Ashley Wynn-Grimes on how your endocannabinoid system works to help you maintain balance in the body. What You'll Learn in This Episode: How linolool is a relaxing terpene in cannabis & lavender How the vagus nerve works with your endo-cannabinoid system How cannabinoids work synergistically to help the body breathe and reset.

Ashley Wynn-Grimes is an Author, Cannabis Advocate, and Founder of Cannabis Nursing Solutions. In this conversation, we discuss Ashley's journey as a nurse including how her disillusionment with the financial incentives behind Big Pharma led her to explore alternative healing modalities and the structure of the endocannabinoid system. We next talk about Ashley's journey as an author and writing the book Stigmatized. Then, we discuss ways for healthcare professions to research cannabis and how to obtain certifications to consult with patients on the medicine. We then consider how to optimize product offerings for patients, rather than just maximizing THC content. From there we discuss Maryland's recent legalization of adult-use cannabis, how Ashley expects her home market to develop in the coming years, and the somewhat arbitrary distinction between recreational and medical cannabis. Next, we discuss the recently approved Federal legislation on medical marijuana research and what outcomes Ashley expects to see following its passage. We end talking about Ashley's children's book Asa's Medicine. Please enjoy!

In this fascinating interview with NurseDeck ambassador and host NP Jamie Smith, Ashley brings passion, motivation, and a wealth of knowledge on this less-widely-known area of wellness. Her goal? “By 2025, The Endocannabinoid Specialty™ will be well known and accepted as a specialty in nursing.” We're honored to lend her a microphone - so listen up!

Medical marijuana has been a hot topic for several years. First legalized in California in 1996, now more than two-thirds of U.S. states and the District of Columbia have legalized it for medical treatments and more are considering bills to do the same. Then in 2012 Colorado and Washington became the first two states to legalize it for recreational use, and in a similar fashion, while only 18 states currently approve it recreationally, other states are expected to do the same. But sadly healthcare has not done a great job with educating our healthcare professionals with this changing policy. How many of us fully understand the benefits and risks of cannabis? How is it consumed? How is it dosed? How does it work? What are the side effects? When should it be added to the care plan? And even for our patients using it recreationally and even sometimes illegally - how do we educate people around usage to keep them safe?In this episode Nurse Alice speaks with Ashley Wynn-Grimes BSN, RN is the Founder of Cannabis Nursing Solutions, LLC, Executive Director Of Cannabis Patient Advocacy Association. Wynn-Grimes, a registered nurse for more than 12 years, is dedicated to empowering patients and nursing professionals to make informed medical cannabis care choices with impactful educational medical programs that also serve to promote diverse representation and medical equality in cannabis.
