Mariya Palanjian's interviews: Patty Pappas
Patty Pappas comes from a family of strong women that includes three daughters, one sister, three nieces, her mother, and of course, herself. The former stay at home mom loves adventure and travel. She has seen the top of Mt. Whitney and hiked through the bottom of the Grand Canyon, both of which were a cake walk compared to her experiences with menopause. Patty went toe to toe with hot flashes, sleeplessness, and forgetfulness. Inspired by her own experience and a spontaneous visit to a cannabis dispensary with Co-Founder Carrie Mapes, Patty created her first business in her fifties: Hello Again. At the company, Patty focuses on manufacturing and distribution. Committed to women’s wellness, she uses her life’s experiences to connect to people in the industry as well as women seeking relief.
Hello Again is a cannabis brand that combines the power of the plant with specific botanicals to treat the symptoms of menopause and more. Founded by friends and former stay at home moms Carrie Mapes and Patty Pappas, Hello Again is on a mission to demystify menopause and cannabis one vaginal suppository at a time. The company was founded in 2019 after the two took a chance trip to a dispensary and realized something powerful; cannabis had oodles of potential to treat the symptoms of menopause that they, and their friends, were experiencing.
