Moved across the country for legal cannabis. Built 450+ websites. Now runs the industry's biggest free women's network.

In this candid, unfiltered conversation, Tanya Griffin, founder of oOYes wellness products and longtime cannabis industry leader, joins us to dismantle the silence around perimenopause, sexual wellness, hormone therapy, and holistic health.

With nearly two decades in cannabis, Tanya bridges the gap between plant medicine, product innovation, and women’s evolving bodies—while challenging the shame that’s historically surrounded these conversations.

This episode explores what really happens during hormonal transition—and how women can reclaim sleep, desire, confidence, and vitality along the way.

You spent months growing perfect plants. Don't destroy them in the cure.

Jane Sandelman, co-founder of Cannatrol, didn't start in cannabis—she started with cheese. The technology behind their cannabis curing systems was originally designed for Vermont cheese makers who couldn't control their aging caves.

Now, after 15 years perfecting the science across cheese, charcuterie, and dry-aged steaks, Cannatrol is revolutionizing how home growers cure cannabis.

In this episode, Jane reveals:

🌱 Why you're only halfway done when you cut the plant down🔬 The science of bound vs. unbound water (and why it matters)🏠 How home growers are becoming true connoisseurs💰 Why 3-5% yield increases drop straight to your bottom line🧪 How to dramatically reduce failed lab tests🧀 The cheese cave origin story you won't believe💑 32 years in business with her inventor husband (their secret: noise-canceling headphones)🎯 Why "bro science" is holding growers back🌍 International cannabis markets that "just behave like a country"

Perfect for:

• Home growers protecting their harvest investment
• Commercial operators seeking consistency across locations
• Anyone who's lost a crop to mold in post-harvest
• Cannabis connoisseurs who know quality matters
• Entrepreneurs learning from 32-year business partnerships

The Cool Cure home unit holds 2.5 pounds of wet flower (with an 11-pound version coming later this year). Whether you're in humid Thailand or dry Denver, you'll get the same perfect results every time.

Jane's been consuming cannabis for 50 years. Her husband Dave has 23 patents and testified at Vermont legalization hearings: "I started smoking pot when I was 13. I have 23 patents. It just goes to show you—it's fine."

This is cannabis entrepreneurship meets food science meets a 32-year love story.

Listen if you want to:

• Stop losing flower to mold and overdrying
• Understand the actual science of curing
• Learn from a couple who built multiple successful businesses together
• Get the inside scoop on international cannabis markets
• Discover why consistency beats the "lucky jacket" method

Mentioned in this episode:

• Cannatrol Cool Cure systems
• ILGM grow clubs
• Vermont cannabis legalization testimony
• International installations (Thailand, Argentina, Portugal, Germany)
• Why insurance companies still discriminate against cannabis-adjacent businesses
