241. Women in Business: Kiva's Kristi Palmer on Building a Cannabis Empire
Step into the world of groundbreaking women entrepreneurs who are shaping the landscape of the fast-growing cannabis industry. To kick off our new series, we’re sitting down with Kristi Palmer, president and co-founder of one of our favorite cannabis edible brands, Kiva Confections. Kristi sheds light on the personal and professional challenges she faces in the ever-changing weed industry and offers valuable insights into how she and her husband Scott built the brand from the ground up. Discover how her commitment to quality and consumer trust has propelled Kiva into a leading name in cannabis edibles.
"I'm a lightweight consumer, and if I consume too much, I'm mad. I can't sleep. I'm like, who do I need to write a strongly worded letter to because it's not cool, right? Being a sensitive consumer, that's where I get mad. I don't get mad very often, but if I over consume because of somebody else's doing... it's not good."
If you enjoyed this episode, we’d recommend episode 183, Women, Money, Power and Cannabis. And if you haven’t already, we hope you’ll give Kiva’s weed gummies and chocolate bars a try!

240. Pot for Parenting: Navigating Motherhood With Weed
Welcome to a very special Mother’s Day episode! In today’s show, we delve into the stories of remarkable mothers like writer Laurel Pantin, Kiva Confections co-founder Kristi Palmer, Dr. June Chin, and Blunt Blowin’ Mama host Shonitria Anthony.

As we challenge societal norms and celebrate motherhood in all its forms, join us for a candid discussion on the supportive and transformative power of pot for moms everywhere.
"I think it helps me be a better mom. It helps me be more present, which at the end of the day is, I'm finding, the most important part of being a good parent. Just being there and available and open-minded for your child. Whatever gets you there is 100% worth pursuing." — Laurel Pantin

238. CBD for Menstrual Cramps
80% percent of women experience period pain at some point in their lives, and menstrual cramps are the top complaint. That's probably why we get so many questions about CBD for period cramps. In this episode, we look at how weed can help ease menstrual discomfort. We'll discuss the science behind CBD's soothing effects and its benefits as a natural alternative to traditional pain meds. If you're interested in learning more about how CBD for menstrual cramps can fit into your well-being routine, join us as we explore real stories and research that highlight its growing use and effectiveness.
“Advil helped with the cramps, but it didn't help with that still unidentifiable pain that I have in my lower back. What did help was using CBD. And that's part of the reason why I never looked back after trying it for the first time. It became a passion for me so quickly because I was in such desperate need for it.” - Kerrigan
If you enjoyed this episode, we’d recommend tuning into episode 148, 'Living with Endometriosis? Here’s Why Women Trust Cannabis to Help,’ and episode 32, ‘Blackberry Kush: Period Pain Fighter”.

Customer Reviews
One of the best cannabis podcasts!
This is by far one of the best cannabis podcasts! Each episode is informative and has helped me in some way on my cannabis journey. I couldn’t recommend this podcast more! Give it a listen and then you’ll want to binge listen to them all.
Lost, and Now I’m Found
I recently moved to a grass-friendly state, and HTDTP podcast has been SO helpful! It’s overwhelming to go from “D8, 9, or 10” to a plethora of different cannabis experiences to choose from. I’m excited to continue delving in and exploring to see what my go-tos will be, (Strawberry Cough = a new fave 😍). Thanks for what you do!
Just right
This podcast is awesome! The hosts are smart, articulate while being totally relatable. The show is informational, succinct and entertaining. It’s great to connect to a female cannabis community.
