The rule at her mixers is the same one she preaches in life: Everything in moderation.“If you use cannabis in a way that it does kind of suck the motivation and drive and ambition out of you, then that’s never a good thing,” she said.As a longtime marijuana enthusiast herself, Peckler, 32, is an advocate of both the plant’s ability to act as medicine and to help people bond in a warm, friendly environment.
Her main goal, she said, is to give people who happen to use cannabis the confidence to come out of the “green closet” and help them find success in life and love.“If you always feel like you can’t be yourself in front of someone, you can’t completely let them in, then those insecurities will just continue to grow,” Peckler said.“It may not be the death of a relationship, but it certainly won’t be as fulfilling and productive as it otherwise would be.” Peckler spent some time at a cannabis consulting firm to get to know the industry before launching Highly Devoted Coaching in Chicago in June 2015. But she said the scene – not to mention the weather – is nothing compared with California.But she feels there’s always been one missing ingredient: cannabis.“I’m very focused on moving past the stigma of cannabis and showing that it really is something that can make your life and your relationships so much better,” she said.
