What if the biggest rules in your life… were never really yours?
This week I'm joined by celebrant, performer, DJ and cannabis advocate Renee to explore the stories we've inherited about love, marriage, cannabis, intimacy and identity—and what happens when we start questioning them.
From the Marriage Equality campaign to the stigma surrounding cannabis, we unpack why some conversations still make people uncomfortable, how love is changing, and why being truly seen might be what we're all searching for.
We also dive into cannabis and intimacy, the myths that refuse to die, why CBD deserves a place in every emergency room, my latest dating disaster involving a 60mg gummy, and this week's Wellness Field Notes on protein, creatine and feeling stronger through perimenopause.
In this episode we discuss:
- Renee's experience working on the Marriage Equality campaign
- The surprising similarities between cannabis stigma and LGBTQIA+ stigma
- What marrying hundreds of couples has taught Renee about intimacy
- Renee's personal journey with cannabis—from Ireland to Australia
- Cannabis, creativity and sexual wellbeing
- Why language matters: "using" cannabis versus "taking" cannabis
- The myths about cannabis that still persist today
- CBD as a tool for managing an uncomfortable cannabis experience
- This week's Wellness Field Notes: protein, creatine and women's health after 40
- My latest dating story... involving a very enthusiastic edible consumer

Help Shape the Future of Cannabis Conversations
One of the biggest themes in this episode is what it means to truly be seen and heard.
That's exactly why I've launched a survey asking one simple question:
How do women actually want to be spoken to about cannabis?
If you've ever felt judged, dismissed, confused, or simply unheard when it comes to cannabis, I'd love to hear from you.
📝Take the anonymous survey here
Together, I'm hoping to turn these insights into a white paper that helps shape better conversations, education and healthcare for women.
