Hello, lovely people!
This week’s newsletter is all about authenticity, connection, and empowerment. We’re diving into some incredible insights from Elizabeth Sage, a certified Ganjier and community builder, who shared her inspiring journey of resilience, curiosity, and finding balance through cannabis.
In addition to her story, we’re reflecting on what it means to embrace your authentic self. From navigating stigma to building supportive routines, this week’s Q&A section is designed to hear from you—your thoughts, challenges, and wins. Plus, we’ve got some thought-provoking polls to shape future conversations and uncover the topics that matter most to our community.
Your voice is vital to this dialogue, and together, we can create something truly impactful. If this newsletter inspires or helps you in any way, let your holiday spirit shine by sharing it with someone who could use it. We’re only better when we grow together—let’s build the Cali Sober Community and break barriers, one story at a time.

“Why is leaning into your most authentic self so important, especially in the context of major life shifts like embracing the Cali Sober lifestyle?”
Authenticity isn’t just about “being yourself.” It’s about shedding the societal expectations and stigmas that can cloud who you really are. During a recent conversation, I shared how my journey from alcohol to cannabis for wellness wasn’t just about a lifestyle shift—it was about uncovering my real needs and letting go of the numbing tools I once relied on.
We often talk about wellness in terms of doing more: more routines, more restrictions, more “shoulds.” But true wellness—and authenticity—is about doing less of what doesn’t serve you. For me, that meant rejecting the guilt and shame often tied to exploring alternatives like cannabis. It’s about re-learning who you are without the crutches we’ve been taught to depend on.
If you want to dive deeper into the connection between authenticity and navigating change, check out Episode 123 where I share my story and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.

Wellness is not a state of being, but a state of action.
