Before Medicinal Cannabis... I struggled daily with insomnia, fatigue, brain fog, and a persistent sense of overwhelm. I lacked joy and vitality, often feeling anxious in social settings and disconnected from my own body. I avoided socializing, passed on fun activities, and opted out of anything extra in life to avoid burnout. Exhausted and unable to sleep at night, I would nap for hours during the day just to make it through. The constant fatigue and mental fog made every task feel monumental, and I barely held it together. And I Had to Keep It Together... As a wife and mother in a busy blended family with four children, life didn’t stop for me. Homeschooling, maintaining a conscious-living household, and caring for two children with chronic illnesses left little space for self-care. I was constantly pouring out, giving every ounce of myself, until I simply couldn’t anymore. It wasn’t until I reached a breaking point that I realized self-care wasn’t optional—it was vital. But being forced into self-care was far from enjoyable. It took time to shift my perspective and begin to see caring for my body as an act of love rather than survival. After Medicinal Cannabis... My relationship with self-care began to transform. With the help of medicinal cannabis, I found a peaceful routine that became as essential as breath. Prioritizing my health became natural, and I truly embraced the “oxygen mask first” mentality. I started listening to my body, learning what it needed and honoring those needs—whether it was the foods I ate, the thoughts I dwelled on, or the products I used. Cannabis, used intentionally, brought peace to both my mind and body. It eased my pain, allowed me to sleep better, and reduced the overwhelming stress of daily life. My anxious thoughts calmed, my mind slowed, and I could appreciate the simple pleasures of life. Cannabis deepened my spiritual connection, grounding me in nature and in my own being. My pain no longer dominated my day, allowing me to fully engage in life with a renewed sense of well-being. Now... I have the pleasure of educating and inspiring others to find their own path to wellness, self-care, love, and peace. Through my work as a Certified Cannabis Coach and Educator, I help people reconnect with themselves, embrace the power of intentional self-care, and experience the healing potential that cannabis and other holistic practices can offer. It is truly a joy to guide others toward living vibrant, balanced lives—just as I have found for myself. #TogetherWeAreCanMar #cannabiswellness #selfcarematters Share your story too! @Jay Jay O'Brien @Stacy Bobak
