We were lucky to catch up with Lizzie Wilson recently and have shared our conversation below.

Lizzie, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’d love to hear the backstory of how you established your own practice.

I have always been a helper & from an early age knew I wanted to help & heal as a doctor. As my medical education progressed I was able to shadow physicians, surgeons and pharmacists. I realized pretty quickly that if I wanted to have a family, I needed a profession that offered a healthy work-life balance. I ultimately found the right fit in pediatric clinical pharmacy & started my dream job at St Jude Children’s Hospital in Memphis, TN upon graduation. I never imagined leaving my dream job but 9 years in (& 3 kids later) I felt the undeniable tug to do more so I honored that and decided to pivot (this will be a theme) :)
My husband and I scoured the country for the city of our dreams: the one we could safely raise babies in, play at parks, go to a little neighborhood school, build a community and be near the beach & mountains. We took the leap & moved away from family, our dream jobs and all things familiar in the pursuit of honoring that pull.
Was it scary? Yes. Was it unconventional? For sure. Did people question our decision & doubt us? Absolutely. But we knew we had one chance to raise our family the way we envisioned and we were committed to making that happen & it was definitely the right decision for us.
8 weeks into our move, the pandemic hit and we found ourselves on the front line of a global health crisis. For the first time in my life, I felt in my body what people describe as anxiety: racing thoughts, trouble falling asleep, impatience due to fatigue and exhaustion from living in a constant fight-or-flight stress state. I knew I needed support but as a pharmacist did not want any medications that would alter me, cause dependence or unwanted side effects. I reached out to another pharmacist & mom of 3 to ask for guidance and thankfully she was vulnerable and shared she was using CBD to balance her nervous system. I was completely unfamiliar with this plant-based approach but have since become an advocate for a hemp-based wellness company because these products literally changed my life. There is so much hope in hemp and I have expanded my medical toolbox & am on a mission to share this holistic health option with the masses!

Lizzie, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

Working full-time in healthcare, having a spouse also working in the hospital and raising 3 kiddos in this economy really took a toll on our main goal: quality time together. We once again felt the pull to explore other options. This is where I decided to completely pivot and start my journey as a digital marketer with the mission of helping other moms feel their best physically and mentally but also give them options like stepping into a turn-key business opportunity with me here at Green Compass. We are on a mission to Feel Good, Do Good, For Good and these incredible USDA-certified organic products & business are changing lives every day. I feel so grateful and proud to be building something that honors my original gift and desire to help & heal. Pivoting to making money online has given me so much: financial, time and location freedom, a platform for education & blowing up stigmas, supporting women, building community & making money with my family for my family but no longer at the expense of my family.

Have you ever had to pivot?

The pivot to expand my medical knowledge to include hemp-based wellness options was a big paradigm shift for many of my friends and coworkers. I was trained in tradition western medicine so everything was disease states & FDA approved drugs that matched. Little emphasis was placed on Eastern medicine (herbs, yoga, breathing, meditation) or natural remedies. When I found the healing benefits of pure hemp flower extract from Green Compass (a local company, founded by the love of a mother), I was blown away. The mechanism of action is revolutionary, the safety profile is unmatched & the testimonials are numerous. I knew I once again had to take the unconventional route & broaden my medical practice to include more clean, organic, natural options.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

Just because something is common, doesn’t mean it is normal. So many people are chronically ill, stressed out and working towards other people’s dreams at the expense of their quality of life. It is my mission to educate on how we can break out of the daily grind, free ourselves from overwhelm, control parts of our daily lives with actionable solutions, templates & products and reclaim our time so we can spend our time where it really matters: with those we love.
