Demystifying Cannabis Use With Cloud Cannabis

Cannabis is becoming increasingly more popular as states continue to pass it into law for recreational use. We’ve all heard the negative comments and stigmas behind using cannabis. But what are the benefits that come with using cannabis recreationally?

We also debunk some of those popular myths you may have heard and provide you with true and accurate information.

Real Talk: Moms and Cannabis

Now that cannabis is legal in many states, moms are turning to using it in many forms to ease the strain of postpartum depression, anxiety, and the daily stresses of motherhood. But we know that using cannabis in any way still carries a stigma with it and moms are fighting back.

In this episode, our cast discusses the pros and cons of cannabis use and how to break the stigma of using it medically or recreationally. Join Elizabeth Lewis, CEO of Detroit Mom, as she talks with real moms about real life issues on The Unfiltered Mom.

Taking Back Your Time: Doing More with Less

Moms today have a million things they are “supposed” to do. We take care of the kids from morning to night, clean every surface multiple times a day, and cook healthy meals for our families. But beyond that, society now expects us to be better for ourselves: self care, meditation, exercise, journaling.

There simply aren’t enough hours in a day to do everything. In this episode, our panel of moms discusses how we can do less in order to do more, and ways to avoid feeling the societal pressure to constantly be on the go.

For more information about doing more with less, check out this episode of Mental Health Mondays by Kerry Biskelonis from Reset Brain + Body: https://www.facebook.com/1070426509763718/videos/1740491736125513

Cancelling Cancel Culture

Patience is running thin these days and cancel culture is running rampant. People are quick to judge others and rarely wait for an opportunity for redemption or apology before sending them to be cancelled. But is eliminating a person, place, or thing really the best way to handle these difficult situations? In this episode we talk about how cancel culture has evolved into what it is today, why we find parts of it to be problematic, and how we can do better together.

Fostering Community

Community is what you make of it, and everyone at some point has been the outsider. Sometimes we find ourselves going outside our comfort zone to seek connection, and other times it just happens organically. It’s obvious we are all experiencing it to some degree, and we sit down with a group of Detroit Moms to discuss what community means to them.
