CBD for Moms: Why I Use It and What You Should Know


Let’s be real—motherhood is beautiful, but it’s also exhausting, overwhelming, and downright hard some days. Between working, parenting, managing a household, and showing up for everyone else, it’s easy to lose sight of our own needs.


That’s exactly why I turned to CBD—and why I haven’t looked back.


🌿 Why I Started Using CBD


After battling anxiety, burnout, sleep struggles, and mood swings for years (plus the added stress of juggling work and mom life), I knew I needed something that supported my wellness naturally. I wanted something that would help me find my calm without numbing me out. Something I could feel good about putting in my body.


Enter: CBD.


✨ What It’s Done for Me


CBD has become part of my everyday self-care. I use it for:

Calm in the chaos – Helps quiet the mental noise and reduce my anxiety

Better sleep – I fall asleep easier and wake up more rested

Mood support – I feel more level, more present, more me

Craving control – Helps with emotional eating and sugar cravings


It’s not magic—but it’s become one of my favorite wellness tools, and I genuinely notice when I skip it.


💚 Is CBD Safe for Moms?


The short answer: yes—when you’re using a high-quality, transparent, and tested product. That’s why I only use and share Green Compass.


Their products are:

🌱 USDA Certified Organic

🧪 3rd Party Lab Tested

🌾 Seed-to-Shelf Traced

❌ Free from junk, fillers, and artificial ingredients


So I can take it daily with confidence—and recommend it to other moms without hesitation.


🔍 What You Should Know


If you’re a mom thinking about trying CBD, here’s my advice:

1. Start slow and stay consistent – Like any wellness routine, consistency is key.

2. Track how you feel – A simple mood/sleep/craving tracker can help you see the benefits.

3. Choose quality – Don’t grab gas station gummies. Ask questions, read labels, and pick a trusted brand.

4. Listen to your body – It’s about gentle, cumulative support—not an instant fix.

🌿 CBD and Hormones: What Every Woman Should Know

  Posted in The Wellness Den | June 14, 2025 Let’s be real: being a woman comes with a lot of hormonal ups and downs. Mood swings. Fatigue. Bloating. Brain fog. Anxiety. Sleep issues. And don’t even get me started on the perimenopause rollercoaster. Whether you’re in your 20s or late 40s (like me!), hormones influence everything —your energy, mood, digestion, skin, cycle, and emotional balance. But here’s something most women don’t hear enough: CBD can help. Not as a magic pill or miracle cure—but as a powerful tool that supports your body’s natural rhythms and helps bring balance when everything feels off. 💛 What Happens When Hormones Are Out of Whack? When estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, or thyroid hormones get thrown off, you may feel: Anxious or irritable Wired but tired Struggling with sleep or concentration Sluggish digestion or metabolism Cravings, mood dips, and PMS from another planet Sound familiar?
