Hello Again
Join Stephanie O’Dell, founder of Celebrate The Gray for the latest Brand Fifty Podcast with Carrie Mapes and Patty Pappas, co-founders of Hello Again products.
Carrie Mapes and Patty Pappas go way back – twenty years ago the duo met when their oldest children started preschool. Friends ever since, Carrie and Patty have always been adventurous and open-minded – but it wasn’t until they became empty nesters that they decided to explore local dispensaries.
Quickly, Patty and Carrie realized that cannabis was uniquely suited to address many of the challenges experienced during menopause. The women searched for a single product geared to address these challenges, but there was nothing acceptable in sight. Naturally, their problem-solving instincts led them to take matters into their own hands – they developed their own product from the ground up.
Cannabis. Menopause. Suppository. Some might read those words and see no connection, but Carrie and Patty believe this strong connection represents the future of women’s wellness. The empowerment of age has provided Carrie and Patty with the confidence and wisdom to build something meaningful. The skills and lessons they have learned as mothers, wives, and leaders in their communities are now applied to the world of cannabis and business.
Carrie’s creativity combined with Patty’s attention to detail make them the perfect pair to educate women about menopause and the non-psychoactive use of cannabis for wellness at any age. Carrie and Patty founded Hello Again in 2019, after extensive research and development. The duo is committed to offering solutions for women to improve both mental and physical health and to feel like themselves again.
Their grandmother’s tolerated, their mothers medicated, and they CREATED. Hello Again! Find them at www.helloagainproducts.com and at your local dispensary.
