Francine Sommer Creating Quality Products For Menopause

Francine Sommer is the CEO of Respect Wellness, a CBD wellness product line focused on healing a woman’s mind, body and spirit – specifically engaged with women over 45 and supporting women in menopause. Francine’s journey into cannabis brought her from New York to New Mexico where she was a long-time venture capitalist and the president of Gabelli Value Inc., a merchant banking fund that invested in undervalued, low-tech companies that needed equity financing or management assistance – sound like cannabis? She shares with Joyce her canna journey, how she’s creating high end and transparent CBD products, and why she’s so focused on helping women in menopause.

Joyce also speaks with Georgi Gordon of the Cannabis Travel Association about how cannabis improves your mindset and so much more when travelling.
