In this episode, they sit down with researcher, scholar, and mother, Dr. Tamiah Brevard-Rodriguez aka Dr. Beauty for an honest dialogue at the intersection of research, cannabis, and lived experience.

This conversation centers on what the research actually tells us and where legislation often fails to catch up. Dr. Beauty breaks down the casino act, state employees, and the unintended consequences of policy decisions.

She also discusses how stigma shows up in wellness, parenting, and public perception—and why evidence-based research must guide the way forward. The discussion is grounded, thoughtful, and deeply reflective of what it means to navigate motherhood while advocating for autonomy, wellness, and authenticity.

As always, the tea doesn’t stop there.
