Joining me today is Elyse Camille, founder of cannabis fitness app and community Lifted Lifting. Elyse found relief during the stress of the pandemic with fitness. When her friends suggested they get high at the gym, she discovered a whole new love for the leaf and the way it connected her mind with her body for better lifting. She was already posting gym content when a video about her high workouts caught traction. These series of events sparked the idea for Lifted Lifting. In under a year, the community has grown to over 30k on Facebook. Since then she developed a fitness app, and stoner fitness merch, alongside her one-on-one coaching sessions. Elyse is building booties and communities and her journey is an example of embracing your authenticity and the opportunities that come your way. Without further adieu, let's sesh!
