About Mama Chill Club

The Mama Chill Club Podcast takes you on an uncensored journey through extraordinary stories to redefine cannabis education and break down stigma. It’s time to go loud you guys. We are craving more community, more information, and the experts need help in sharing their knowledge. I’m bringing in these experts, OG’s, and bad ass mamas in the cannabis space because stigma isn’t doing anything for who this plant can benefit, and lack of support isn’t fulfilling what mamas need. You are NOT alone, and NOT a bad mom for using cannabis.
