In this moving episode of The Women in CannaBusiness Podcast, we sit down with Heather Steinberg, Patient Care Specialist at Jewish Sauce Boss, to talk about resilience, healing, and the power of cannabis to transform lives.

With over 15 years in healthcare and a lifelong passion for helping others, Heather shares her powerful journey — from navigating chronic pain and multiple surgeries to discovering cannabis as a life-changing alternative to traditional medicine. As someone who cannot take NSAIDs or Tylenol, Heather’s personal experience as a medical marijuana patient opened the door to a new career in patient advocacy and education.

Now, through her work at Jewish Sauce Boss, Heather helps patients across Pennsylvania and New Jersey access their medical cards and find the relief they deserve. Her story is one of strength, purpose, and compassion — a reminder that breaking the stigma starts with one honest conversation at a time.
