27. An honest conversation about CBD oil, anxiety, stress, bad breakups, and more with Nadya Pecherskaya from ICARIA

CBD oil. 

My initial thoughts when I heard about it was - isn’t that for people who smoke pot?  I wondered…  if I try it, Am I going to get high?  And…  Is it illegal? Will I get addicted?

Not only did I have a lot of reservations doing an episode on CBD oil but I also went in knowing pretty much nothing about it. 

What made me change my mind - and open my mind -  to learn about it?

Hearing stories from friends and so many of you who spoke to me or DM-ed me privately saying things like “CBD oil changed my life.”  And “CBD oil was a game-changer for my anxiety.”

Hearing THAT made me wonder … “I wonder who else’s life could be changed if they could also learn about CBD oil - and with an open mind, can then make the best decision for themselves?”  

YOUR stories about how much it helped you inspired me to learn more and say “yes” to having Nadya from Icaria come on our podcast and share her knowledge about CBD oil and teach us what it’s all about. 

In this episode, you’ll learn the answer to a lotttt of questions I had - and you sent for me too. 

Like…. Is it legal?  How much do I take?  How do I find a good source?  Will I get high?  Will I become dependent?  And if I’m using it as a supplement, what can I expect? 

I know you’re curious about CBD oil, but you don’t know where to start. Or if you’re someone who uses it, I know you’re probably doing it in private and don’t feel open talking about it.

I hope this episode starts to change that and breaks down the barriers to us questioning our stereotypes, and being open to asking personal and tough questions.  AND to both sharing - and learning about tools that may help us. 

Before I share my conversation with Nadya, my lawyer wants me to say that I’m not a doctor and neither is Nadya. We are two women sharing our experiences hoping it will help you in your life and goal-getting journey. 

I also drop a swear or two in this episode, so if your child is a little parrot like mine, you may want to listen with headphones in. 

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it - I learned SO much about CBD oil - and you’re about to too!
