We chatted with Shene Redden, holistic wellness coach and owner/ operator of Write to Heel in Atlanta, GA, a health and wellness coaching company that empowers women 40 and over to live and lead balanced, sustainable, and fulfilling lives—without sacrificing their health, careers, relationships, or happiness. A self-proclaimed ‘cannabis queen,’ Shene has drastically changed her life with her holistic healing approach and is a champion for others to do the same.
An active lifestyle and fitness enthusiast, Shene uses cannabis daily in various forms – from sublingual
tinctures to topicals – to relax her muscles after a workout. She doesn’t generally begin her day with cannabis, as she feels elevated first thing in the morning. However, if she’s experiencing any
anxiety or uneasiness, she might turn to an indica-leaning gummy to ground herself and perhaps a puff or two at the end of the day to wind down.
Like many women who fully embrace plant medicine in their daily wellness practice, Shene is unapologetic about her consumption and usage.
“I am who l am. I enjoy life in my own way, much more than most people can say for themselves. I am 100 percent as real as they come.”
One of the things Shene loves about cannabis is its many healing properties and how it allows people to relax and slow down.
Due in part to the legality of the plant where she lives, she is getting creative with her consumption and learning what combination of products works best for her daily.
When asked what her favorite method of consumption was, she mentioned she was a big fan of edibles and long hikes. She loves to be outdoors and move her body while stimulating her mind; that is the perfect combination for her to commune with nature and her highest self. For personal
preference, she enjoys an ingestible over a smokeable consumption experience. One of the things Shene loves about cannabis is its many healing properties and how it allows people to relax and slow down.
She firmly believes the world would be much better if everyone consumed cannabis. Shene exemplifies this belief in her care taking care of her community and recognizes that cannabis is the
plant helping her do that. Not the church and religion. For her, cannabis is the higher power, and she believes what takes people to the elevated states.
