Instagram deactivated The Canna Boss Babes podcast @thecannabossbabes Instagram account again over the weekend. It came back up this morning with another apology, it was their mistake. No shit.
Honestly I stopped caring after they took the page November 2021 and 804 live interviews with it. It's hard to imagine anything hurting that much.
I've been utilizing AI in my work for a while now and while I have often said what I love about the lives is they are live and unedited, the reality is I would love a digital helping hand to help make highlight reels, blog posts, add to YouTube the content, the website, the podcast platforms without taking HOURS. Enter Descript about 6 months ago. I have been playing with it behind the scenes but my previous process of going live on IG then downloading them with a 3rd party software to upload them to edit the content and then export them again - Babes, I couldn't make myself do it, not even for you.
So, while Fuck Meta for taking not only @thecannabossbabes page but also my cats page (@surroundedbycats if you want to follow, it's new and not super active) and my Facebook page which allowed me to schedule content for my clients. Ugh.... I just don't want to mess with it anymore. It's time to work smarter, not harder and as a queen of efficiency, this kills me.
Check out this new highlight clip Descript took of my 17 minute video (that orginally included lots of Um's and blathering) and let me know what you think of the logo, transcription and what else we can do to improve. Want to be a guest? I am booking October! Just complete the sign up form on our podcast page.

Hello Babes,
I am thrilled to welcome you to our new platform on YouTube! We've been a podcast for the last five years, born from a desire to maintain community connections during the pandemic. This journey began as I entered the industry, as a longtime patient myself, and quickly discovered the transformative power of cannabis and community.
A Bit About Our Beginnings
The Canna Boss Babes started with a simple goal: to connect people within the cannabis industry. Initially, we hosted fun events, often in collaboration with my brother Rico Lamitte. When the pandemic arrived, I refused to let these invaluable connections fade. I was fortunate to meet amazing people from all walks of life—yes, men are babes too! This community has grown beyond anything I imagined, proving that life-changing experiences aren't exclusive to our younger years.
Building a Platform of Support
Cannabis has gifted me the ability to connect with myself, my community, and help my community connect with each other. Nowadays, I host events and content creation days to unite brands, influencers, and talented creatives, fostering collaboration and growth among each other's dreams.
Continuing the Conversation
Typically, I'm not one to talk for long stretches—I enjoy bringing in guests. Over the years, I've had additional hosts, which I hope to do again soon as our platform expands. Transitioning to this new setup presents exciting opportunities to welcome a few more 'babes' into the fold that I've spoken with already.
Sharing Stories that Matter
What I've learned over these past five years is the profound impact of sharing personal stories. I've had the honor to hear from listeners whose lives have been touched by the stories shared on The Canna Boss Babes podcast. Although I still get nervous before each session, it's a privilege to share these impactful narratives. I am particularly excited because this platform allows us to use technology I've longed for, like creating highlight reels and sharing content across multiple platforms.
Join Us in Sharing Your Story
We've been recognized by Feed Spot as the number five Best Women in Cannabis podcast. With this new transition, we're positioned to reach even more people. If you’ve ever wanted to share your story, or if you’ve shared it before and have a new chapter to tell, we want to hear from you!
Stay tuned Babes—there's so much more to come!
