Meet your W.E.C.A.N. leader and host, Kirstie.

Cannabis Health Coach, educator, business owner, and Women Empowered Cannabis Advocates Network founder Kirstie Chadsey will lead you through each meeting.


Kirstie’s contagiously upbeat approach to hosting each meeting is matched only by her decades of experience building and growing teams. Kirstie also has a wealth of business experience in creating success for other businesses and working to grow and reach her own goals. And she’s led her local networking group in a variety of leadership positions for years. So she’s able to help you get acquainted with the online networking experience.

And when Kirstie entered the cannabis industry and noticed the unique challenges (from stigma to isolation and even legal hurdles), she designed W.E.C.A.N. to do things differently.

So, when you arrive at each meeting, you’ll instantly feel connected to our community and supported every step of the way. 

You’ll know you’re in a place full of helpful resources, connections, and a community you can depend on.

Because together, we can make big things happen.
