In this episode, Alexa interviews April Pride: creative entrepreneur, veteran of the cannabis space, and now, founder of SetSet, an educational platform and podcast (picking up where The High Guide left off) for women curious about psychedelics.

With Alexa about to embark on the journey of motherhood, she asks many of the questions parents working with psychedelics have to consider: How do you overcome the stigmas of being a psychedelic parent? How do you talk to your children about drugs? How do you know if a substance is ok to use during pregnancy?

Pride discusses:

  • Being dubbed “the weed mom” and why she embraced the nickname
  • Parenting children around drug use and how parents lose credibility when they lie (the kids are going to know)
  • The need for more research into how substances interact with women’s cycles and changing hormones
  • Knowing when to trust your doctor and how more conversations lead to more knowledgeable doctors
  • Microdosing psilocybin and the developing SetSet protocol

and more!

April Pride

April Pride is a Seattle-based serial creative entrepreneur developing brands and products for 20 years. In 2015, April turned her visionary focus to cannabis with the launch of Van der Pop, a cannabis lifestyle brand recognized for its design-forward stash accessories and educational content relevant to women into – or curious about – weed. Both of these defining characteristics of the Van der Pop brand were seen as pioneers in the rapidly emerging, newly regulated cannabis industry, and within three years, the brand was acquired by Canopy Growth, the world’s largest cannabis company. Under April’s tenure, Van der Pop released the Women & Weed Survey, a first-of-its-kind report on the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors related to cannabis of 1,500 North American women. April continues to serve the women whose trust she’s earned as an advocate for normalization as the founder of SetSet, an educational platform for women curious about psychedelics as well as the creative behind OF LIKE MINDS, a trusted source for psilocybin mushrooms. Her new podcast, SetSet, picks up where her podcast, The High Guide, left off, helping women navigate psychedelics “in the wild.”
