Emmy Award-winning TV show host Aurea McGarry talks with Kristina Shea who is a passionate advocate, speaker, and educator for medical cannabis to support women’s health and has spoken at many venues across Canada as well as in the Caribbean educating both doctors and the general public. After collapsing in the downtown Toronto Financial District at work one day, Kristina was later diagnosed with a brain cyst; experiencing vision loss and debilitating migraines which affected her life in every way. Through a friend, Kristina discovered cannabis as a way to reduce her use of painkillers which then began her incorporating holistic wellness into her life and products. After a life-long career in corporate America working for Fortune 500 companies and the high-stress of the financial industry in Marketing & Communications, Kristina Shea was ready for change and she founded her passion project – "BlueSkys Life™” Kristina has her own story — she has been widowed twice, experienced personal and financial loss through these events, and raised her young daughter as a single mother and as the single income earner. High stress was becoming "her normal" and affected her overall health.
