Hello guys, welcome back to the Balanced Bond podcast, Soul On Fire.

How is everybody doing?

This is certainly a crazy time.

I don't even know how to describe what a crazy time it is, but it's a crazy time.

And I know we're all feeling it.

I have been, I feel like extra connected with all of you guys on Instagram and in the Facebook group and in my detox groups and email and all over the place.

Just finding all the different ways to stay connected and to feel supported and to help you guys feel supported.

And I feel like right now more than ever our online communities are just so important because if you're anything like me, I haven't seen a single person in real life other than my husband and my water fasting doctor who I now haven't seen for like three weeks.

In about five or six weeks, so times are times are different times our wild.

I'm happy that I recorded this episode with Joseph Sheehy, the founder and CEO of Cured Nutrition, my favorite CBD brand, but he's so much more than that.

He's an amazing person. He is a husband to his beautiful wife, Lauren.

He's a super kind soul, very knowledgeable on everything from CBD to psychedelics to adapt to jeans to new tropics to conscious relationships to overcoming depression and suicide, which we talk about in this episode.

And is never ever ever something that I want to take lightly as I have had quite the experience in the past with someone who almost took their life many, many, many times.

So having this conversation with Joseph opened me up so much almost brought me to tears at certain times and is also all over the board where we talk about good stuff.

We talk about deep stuff. We talk about CBD, of course, and how timely is that that so many of us are needing this extra boost of calm in our lives right now.

So after you hear this episode, I think you'll be very inspired to try out cured nutrition, which by the way, not even sponsored in this moment is truthfully my favorite CBD company for so many reasons.

But I will let you hear all about it in this episode with Joseph. So as I was saying before I went on a tangent, I'm so happy that Joe and I recorded this episode before the pandemic and before the quarantine hit.

I think he was certainly the last person that I recorded in person with the last person I recorded with in general as I have just been doing solo episodes and episodes.

I have an episode with Jonathan coming out next week, which I'm super excited about and did that zoom episode with Mary and my fabulous medium that came out a couple weeks ago to address what's going on.

Right now from the from the mindset of a psychic medium who's incredible and then I just had some episodes saved up.

So thankfully for this episode with Joe, I feel like it couldn't possibly be more timely. So if you're not aware of what CBD is, it is an incredible part of the hemp plant where marijuana comes from.

It doesn't have THC in it. So it doesn't get you high. It calms you down. It's used to reduce inflammation. It helps people sleep. It helps with insomnia for me. It helps with joint pain tremendously, tremendously.
