JADED CBD: Oil and Gummies Reduce Stress, Improve Sleep as Company Empowers Women

Kaelyn Nicks was able to harness her entrepreneurial spirit thanks to a compelling set of circumstances. 

She grew up in a small town in Michigan with parents who had split up.

“Breakfast at mom’s meant a well-mannered homecooked meal at the kitchen table, whereas breakfast at dad’s meant Pop-Tarts in the car en route to school,” said Kaelyn. “Growing up in different households was challenging, but I believe it gave me the discipline, perseverance, and grit to be a successful entrepreneur.”

Decades after those very different breakfast experiences, Kaelyn found herself working in corporate America. She had spent nearly a decade successfully climbing the ranks at one of the world’s top consumer goods firms, managing combined portfolios exceeding $1B in revenue. While the experience was an asset to her career, the success brought with it a physical toll. 

“I was burnt out and chronically stressed,” she said. “I was suffering from extreme fatigue and had trouble sleeping. I needed help.”

A friend suggested she turn to cannabis for relief, but she rejected CBD out of hand. The truth was, however, that Kaelyn was naïve and feared becoming high.

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a plant-based cannabinoid found in hemp plants that possesses a wide range of benefits based on extract quality and form. CBD oil is extracted from hemp plants that have high levels of cannabidiol and low levels of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana that gets people high.

“I was jaded,” she said. “I eventually tried CBD, and the benefits blew me away. I slept better, experienced less stress, and, most importantly, did not feel ‘high.’”

For the record, CBD products do not get people high, like marijuana joints. But the way in which CBD improved Kaelyn’s life had a profound effect, which circles back to her entrepreneurial spirit. Although, as any good entrepreneur will tell you, there were challenges to overcome.

“When I went shopping for CBD, nothing met my standards,” she said. “It was confusing to shop. The ingredients were questionable. Nothing tasted good. So I set out to create something I would actually use.”

Two years later, Kaelyn launched JADED CBD, with an emphasis on stress reduction, better sleeping, and empowering women. Visit www.jadedcbd.com for information on the company’s story and its vegan CBD oil and gummies.

“We’re a for-women, by-women company,” said Kaelyn, the founder and CEO. “Women are the most underserved consumer segment in the industry, and we’ve uniquely crafted our products to directly meet her needs. Each ingredient is hand selected to aid in bioavailability, effectiveness, and natural taste.

“As a female entrepreneur, I am here to shatter preconceptions, overturn the status quo, and disrupt the $61 billion cannabis market dominated by men. This is the first business I’ve started from scratch, and paradoxically, I’ve chosen one of the most difficult and uncontrolled sectors in existence—cannabis.”

Kaelyn, by the way, was named one of Disrupt Magazine’s “Top 10 Women Disruptors of 2021.”

Based in New York City, JADED CBD, since its launch, continues to expand with 10 products that have supported 40,000 nights of better sleep. Since opening during the pandemic, JADED CBD has tripled its sales and served more than 5,000 customers.

With its focus on women, JADED CBD donates 5 percent of its profits to organizations that empower women and drive meaningful systemic change.

“When women rise, we all rise,” Kaelyn said. “At JADED, we’re focused on providing resources to organizations that educate, mentor, and empower the next generation of women.”

“My purpose is to educate others who may be JADED against cannabis so they can manage their chronic stress and finally get a good night’s rest. It’s the most rewarding gift knowing I’m helping people feel like their best selves again.”
