Mindful Living Meets Cannabis: Mary Bernuth’s Story

August 7, 2025

On this episode of Let’s Be Blunt with Montel, we’re diving into a story of reinvention, resilience, and redefining wellness. Montel sits down with Mary Bernuth, Co-Founder and President of Pharos Brands, to explore her inspiring journey into the cannabis industry—one she embarked on in her 60s after a dynamic career spanning global brand launches, film publicity, nonprofit leadership, and executive therapy.

Mary shares how her background in psychology and storytelling shaped her mission to create Pharos Brands, a wellness-forward cannabis beverage company designed for mindful, mature consumers. From breaking down the stigma around cannabis for baby boomers to ensuring trust and consistency in hemp-derived drinks, Mary’s insights are as refreshing as her products.

Tune in as Montel and Mary discuss the challenges of launching a cannabis brand later in life, the role of storytelling in shifting perceptions, and how cannabis beverages can fit into a broader wellness lifestyle.

Whether you’re curious about plant wellness or looking for inspiration to embrace change at any stage of life, this episode is packed with wisdom and heart.

Stay curious, stay informed, and stay blunt!
