And I'm Jewish, and always love to support my people. And I'm from Boston, so I had to give a shout out to The Writer, a comic book set in Boston and rooted in Jewish folklore. Created by brothers Ben and Max Berkowitz of the Legal Sea food dynasty, but it was their paternal grandfather, Nathan Glick, who inspired their love of comic books. The brothers teamed up with Grammy-winning and Tony-nominated actor Josh Gad to create the graphic novel. I have not read it, but I love the idea of taking deep Jewish folklore that's been around for thousands of years and making it like an Indiana Jones adventure. They are celebrating Jewish identity and its broad array, and I think it's an important story for our times. The Writer, a comic book, available now.Topics Discussed(1:10) Welcome!(3:10) The Canna Nana Favorite Podcast(3:40) Amie's Favorite Things(3:55) Joyce Favorite Thing – Beautiful Ashtray(4:20) Dave Describing Ashtray – Purchase on Etsy(5:10) The Culture Corner – The Writer(6:45) Canna Mom Superhero – Canna Comics(7:15) Guests Introductions(8:30) Welcome Everyone!(8:45) Names, Locations and How Do You Know About TCMS?(9:45) Musical Salute to Joyce(13:34) Kristin Souza Intro(14:56) Dr. Benjamin Caplan Intro(15:30) Connecting TCMS with The Boston Podcast Network(16:15) The Podcast Garage(17:20) Joyce's Favorite Episode – The Canna Nana(19:19) Season One in The Pandemic(21:25) Podcasting Advice from Dave(23:45) What Dave Learned About Cannabis(25:15) Autism and Cannabis(26:45) Dave's Favorite Way to Consume(27:50) Kristin Souza Talks About TCMS(30:30) Creating Social Media for TCMS(32:45) Future Ideas for The Canna Mom Show Legacy(37:20) What Kristin's Doing in Connecticut(38:04) Cannabis Corner Radio(39:25) Dr. Benjamin Caplan Introduction(44:49) Cannabis Science(45:25) Dr. Caplan's Podcast(46:06) Real Stories from Real People(48:05) The Green Table Podcast(50:30) A Boy and A Vape Pen(53:45) Questions for Joyce(55:12) Kindness and Curiosity in Cannabis(58:33) Thank You and Goodbye! The Canna Mom Show wants to thank:Josh Lamkin and Bella Jaffe for writing and performing TCMS theme music and Fortuna Design for creating TCMS website and Sugar Leaf Creative for marketing and social media.

Based on the true story of a British man who helped save over 600 children – mostly Jewish - escape Prague right before the Nazi invasion in 1939. A truly moving story and timely given the rise in hate around the world. It is a story about why each one of us has the power to help others and that we may never understand the impact we have on this world with acts of kindness. The One Life movie is about an ordinary man who found out over 40 years later how impactful his actions were in saving those children. Apple TV, Palm Royale starring Kristin Wig, Laura Dern, Allison Jenny and Ricky Martin, and Carol Burnet, so many great actors.

A Break.For a few years Joyce has been talking about how art influences culture, and believes a genre of literature she's calling either “canna chick lit” or “canna romance” has a built-in audience in this podcast. So, she has taken this opportunity on her final show of Season 4 to share her work with you. Please sit back, get yourself a cup of tea or roll yourself a joint, an enjoy chapter one of Joyce's canna romance, She's Taking A Break.

Kelley Bruce is the very first canna mom Joyce met so many years ago, and she's happy to be sharing Kelley's story with you today. Kelley Bruce lives in Humboldt County and founded the non-profit organization CannaMommy to support families who are looking for safe access to cannabis because she understands their fight. Kelley founded the non-profit to be ‘For Moms By Moms' after her experiences as a mother of four children, cannabis advocate and child protection services target.Cannabis helped heal Kelley from a serious accident, but she was also caught in a system not quite sure how to handle legal cannabis and moms. Despite being a strong advocate for moms and cannabis, she was caught up with child protection services in Colorado and was charged with endangering minors and other crimes. And while most of the charges were eventually dropped after she “rose hell” in the form of countless appeals, letters from the community, past employers, and her daughter's father, she still got punished with years of probation. The experience is what led her to start CannaMommy. And Kelley is now launching a new venture of canna curated boxes for moms in California with her Mom B2 Collection available at Canna Mommy.The Canna Mom Show wants to introduce you to Freedom Grow an all-volunteer non-profit that is assisting cannabis prisoners regain freedom. Founded by Randy Lanier because he is on a mission, like so many in cannabis, to be the person he needed.

“Make Commerce” is Sister Kate's motto and you might not expect that because she is a self-proclaimed feminist revolutionary in a nun's habit. Her idea that activism helps commerce is not traditionally advocated by your typical nun, but Sister Kate is anything but typical. Her journey from New York City financial analyst to Cannabis evangelist was circuitous, and on today's show she shares the details with us. Sister Kate found her true calling when she learned to organize her life to be in tune with the moon, and she works every day with her community at the Sisters of the Valley in California where they put their beliefs into practice of putting Mother Earth first and second and serving the cannabis plant and producing some wonderful products for our health and wellness.

Meagan Lynn Pilawski is a member of the inaugural class at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy on her way to earning a Master of Science (MS) in Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics from her home in Florida.Although not a career path she had envisioned when she was an oncology and palliative care nurse, it's a pivot that now seems predestined. In 2014, just three months after giving birth to her son, she was diagnosed with MS. By the time she was 26 years old she was on thirteen medications and felt that MS had gotten the better of her. Then, despite her best efforts, in 2018 Meagan's nursing career abruptly ended. But a new journey began. On this episode Meagan shares with Joyce and Dave her story of transformation and healing, and how it feels to be a pioneer in the world of treating cannabis as a pharmaceutical. And, Meagan explains why her son knows that cannabis is mommy's “stinky medicine”, what her big idea about Delta 8 and women's health is, and Joyce shares her favorite thing this week, The Buddy by Cool Buddy Party.Topics DiscussedWelcome [1:25]Bekah Hess Intro and She is Cool!

Valentia Valentine is a highly successful and accomplished professional in Carmel, California. She began her career in the commercial real estate industry where she served businesses throughout the Central Valley for over 25 years. But she speaks with The Canna Mom Show as the founder of Synchronicity Holistic, a state-of-the-art cannabis wellness center dedicated to patient care for both the adult and medical use. Her cannabis journey began in 1989, after suffering from symptoms that her doctor first thought could be a brain tumor, but turned out to be Multiple Sclerosis. That diagnoses forever changed her life. It was a devastating moment for a mother and career professional, but Valentia refused to be a victim of the disabling disease and began to learn as much as she could about MS. From treatments to protocols; from traditional Western medicine to Chinese herbal medicines, Eastern philosophies as well as mind and body practices. As a result of her studies she became a self-taught expert and holistic health advocate. Her efforts focused on ways to minimize MS symptoms.Although she had learned a great deal about traditional Eastern and Western medical treatments, she describes her experience with medical cannabis as nothing short of remarkable. The results were significant. Valentia had less pain. Her inflammation was more manageable. She slept. But most excitingly her mobility was significantly improved. Valentia Valentine's success has always come by helping others, and she has been focused on changing the public perception of medical cannabis. She has also spent a lifetime giving back and has become synonymous with philanthropy on the Monterey Peninsula. When not saving the world or running her businesses, Valentia is enjoying life with her large and wonderful family.

Johanna has a cannabis story that spans continents, beginning in her home state of Texas where she worked in sales on a prominent sports network, to NY for a radio apprenticeship, then back to Texas to work in real estate development. But then, just like a movie, she gave it all up in 2012 and had a life adventure in Italy.

Although the constantly changing cannabis regulations required her to reconsider her original idea of mobile oil extractions, she is now focused on helping Michigan farmers and businesses through consultation at 7 Leaf Consultants, in addition to her advocacy and a line of CBD products sold through MyTCBD.Topics Discussed:Kelly's Cannabis Story [2:20]Lab Testing [4:20]THC vs. THCA and Other Cannabinoids [4:35]Hemp [6:20].3 THC Made Up?

The Canna Mom Show went to Vegas in December to attend the Women of Cannabis Conference. Wow! So before introducing today's guest, Nurse Julie Battel of CED Clinic in Brookline, Massachusetts, Amie and Joyce tell what happened in Vegas. They share not just their introductions to amazing women like Hash Queen Mila Jansen , Business Entrepreneur Stormy Simon, and Nichole West (who shared her remarkable story falling into the rabbit hole of cannabis regulations and losing her way), but stories about all the women from across the country who gathered at the powerful event. Then they introduce their guest, Julie Battel, who has a background in public health, obstetrics and was a mid-wife for thirteen-years. When she was diagnosed with an auto immune disease that left her with tremors  she had to pivot professionally and started down the path in cannabis care at CED Clinic in Brookline, Massachusetts with Dr. Benjamin Caplan. Julie shares her own cannabis health story and then explains the process for medical card certification, which can feel intimidating but is really quite easy. So if you've been thinking about getting a medical card in Massachusetts, this is a show for you.

This is the show for you! Former family law attorney and mother of two, Joyce Gerber, talks with women from coast to coast who want to share their stories of how the evolving cannabis industry is changing parenting, and their lives, in this whole new world of weed. Canadian Canna Mom, Amie Reiman, started Hip Lives, a website sharing her insights into the evolving cannabis industry, after she discovered the healing properties of this misunderstood plant.
