INTERVIEW WITH

I'm going to get real with you wonderful people. This week, I launched the biggest project I have ever endeavored on, the @hempsleyhealth Heart of Health Exchange — & it was terrifying. The night before it went live, I was second-guessing everything: Can I really do this? Will anyone care? Will I get backlash because I'm in a prohibition state? Will my community — my home — still welcome me?
.
I've always been the person who's more comfortable sitting at the back of the room, observing & taking notes, rather than speaking up to share the ideas that were on my mind. It was always easier, and a lot less scary...until I discovered something scarier: that millions of people — including those that I love — were not only being deprived of natural and accessible life-saving medicine, but being locked up for needing it.
.
This fall, my state, Missouri, will *finally* be voting on medical cannabis. After discovering that I was terrible at gathering petition signatures & fundraising, I decided that the way I could help was by educating the public so that when it did come to a vote, people would be able to cast *informed* votes.
.
THAT is what the Heart of Health Exchange is about: eliminating fear of this plant by educating people about how & why cannabis works the way it does while normalizing it as just another wellness tool, something as approachable and accessible as essential oils, herbs, or nutrition.
.
This project is really hard. It's really scary. It's really big...but I have never felt more sure that it's something I need to do. This plant has the power to change and SAVE lives, and we the people deserve safe access to it.
.
From now til the election, I'm going to be keeping Prohibition Diaries on the @hempsleyhealth IGTV reflecting on my experiences using non-intoxicating natural wellness tools to take care of myself during the next crazy couple months. And on this account, I'll be sharing the entrepreneurial side of it all: the why, the struggles, the victories, & all the gooey sappy heart feels that come with it. 🙃
.
I hope you'll join me on this journey and join the conversation with #hohexchange ❤️🙏 Love & appreciate you all

When I get really stressed sometimes,
and I mean *really* stressed,
like that
"I can't do this anymore"
kind of stressed —
I think about what I'd do if I *didn't* do this.
And I realize:
I'm living the dream...
Sometimes the dream is just hard and scary.
But in the end,
I wouldn't rather be doing anything else.
✨
Releasing fear, frustration, and control this full moon to fully embrace trust in the universe, knowing that it will take care of me if I let it. 🌕💫
