Meet Maddy | Owner

We had the good fortune of connecting with Maddy and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Maddy, can you talk to us a bit about the social impact of your business?
At Cumberland Candies, our goal is to help people live a healthy, relaxed lifestyle that they have long searched for. Bringing CBD to the forefront of people’s personal care routines can help them achieve all kinds of personal health goals. One of the goals we emphasize the most is sleep. If the world would really concentrate on getting enough sleep, the health benefits would be felt by each individual. Even more so, our entire medical system would benefit from a healthier society. Sleep helps cure many of today’s common ailments from stress to the common cold. At Cumberland Candies, we don’t like to say our CBD candies “cure” anything, we like to say that they will help you sleep better than you ever have before. That in turn will make you feel like you can take on the world!

What should our readers know about your business?
I own and operate Cumberland Candies. We are an online CBD/Delta 8 candy company. We take high quality CBD and give it to our friends at Olive & Sinclair Candy Company in East Nashville to make the most delicious treats out there. Our sea salted caramels have been a hit and are a change of pace from the other fruity/sugary options out there in the CBD candy world. Setting up the business definitely wasn’t easy. It took about a year’s worth of finding the right product, getting all of our licenses and insurance, and coming up with an executable plan. The best way to overcome challenges as a new business is to not be afraid to ask other businesses for their input. Often other entrepreneurs will be glad to give you tips on how to overcome a specific obstacle. If I would want the world to know anything about my story, it’s that success doesn’t come overnight and is not guaranteed. Hang in there and keep working hard!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would probably take them hiking to some amazing waterfalls in the area and just check out all the nature spots. If they really wanted a nice dinner though, I’d take them to Kayne Prime in downtown Nashville and then maybe do some honky-tonkin’ on Broadway!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Healing Back Pain: The Mind Body Connection by John E. Sarno changed my life. I was able to really focus on what our own minds do to our bodies and how to prevent some of the bad stuff from happening. This book lead me down the path to focusing on my personal health.
