What does it mean to grow up in a medical household, rebel against it, and then return to plant medicine as the very thing that brings peace, presence, and healing?

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Christina McMullan, an instigating rebel and the voice behind Aus Canna Reviews and the Aus Canna Podcast.

We start by going back to the 90s, when cannabis first entered her life on a hill in Texas, and follow her journey through grief, motherhood, and advocacy.

Christina speaks candidly about:

• Her first encounters with cannabis and the cultural stigma in the American South
• Growing up in a family of doctors where cannabis was never discussed
• Using the plant during her father's end-of-life care and the conversations it unlocked
• Navigating pregnancy nausea and the decision to use cannabis with the support of her doctor
• The role cannabis played in helping her slow down and show up more fully as a mother
• Why she believes in fighting for access to the plant, especially at the end of life

This episode is honest, reflective, and full of those quiet truths that often go unspoken. Whether you're new to the plant or have a long-standing relationship with it, Christina's story is a reminder that healing is not always loud, and rebellion is not always visible.
