Margie Odom

For years, Margie Odom, M.Ed., LMFT, was on the diet roller coaster struggling with emotional eating and poor body image and could not find a diet that helped her succeed. She tried it all, so when nothing worked, she knew she had to dig deeper if she wanted a lasting change in her life. It was then that she realized she needed to come to grips with the weight that she carried within. As a therapist, coach, author and speaker, Margie helps others stop their emotional eating cycle by using her proven strategies that helped her find a solution to end her cycle of yo-yo dieting for good. Thanks to her book, "The Weight Within: Healing Emotional Eating from the Inside Out," and her coaching programs she has been able to help clients free themselves from the weight within and start living their best lives. Margie earned her undergraduate degree in psychology from Emory University, completed her master’s degree in counseling at the University of Georgia, and completed her coursework in Marriage and Family Therapy at Western Kentucky University. Known for her honesty, humor, and passion for learning, Margie’s emotional eating clients benefit from her personal success and deep desire to share her creative programs with others. Her mission is to help as many people as possible break free from emotional eating and live the life they were meant to live. Learn more by visiting www.WeightWithin.com.

Mandy Lile

Mandy Lile

Potency is defined as “The power of something to influence or make an impression” which is what Potency No. 710 is setting out to achieve.

When Aesthetician Mandy Lile created Potency No. 710, she was already working with plant based ingredients some 20 years, but she became very intrigued by the mystery of what she felt may be the long lost secret ingredient in skincare, cannabis. After embracing cannabinoids like CBD and CBG in her product formulas, and seeing the results and abundance of testimonials, the answer was revealed, and Potency No. 710 has been disrupting the skincare scene with cannabinoid skincare products since 2018.

Since childhood, Mandy has had a gift for taking an ugly situation and making it beautiful. Unfortunately,thanks to draconian cannabis prohibition, her late father spent 15 years incarcerated on cannabis charges encapsulating much of her childhood. This is, without a doubt, something that fuels her fire to change the stigma surrounding this plant, and she is doing so through beauty.

Since opening her first skincare clinic at the age of 20, Mandy has gained a plethora of firsthand knowledge on the importance of safe ingredients. It is this force and the intentions that she puts into the products Potency offers that stand them apart from the rest, making it more than a brand but rather a lifestyle—a lifestyle of self-care powered by nature and higher intentions.

From hometown high school pals to celebrities, Potency No. 710 products are being embraced by thousands of people around the globe. In honor of the ones that have supported her along her journey, Mandy loves to give back through various philanthropy efforts. She is the sponsor of many small events, businesses, and organizations not only in the cannabis culture but in her local community as well.

Mandy works with several causes including the following.

 Watts Community Core
 Cannabis for Children International
 Women Empowered in Cannabis
 Cannabis Spa Association
 Cannabis Physicians Association

Mandy along with her Fiance’ Harry are the owners of 2 dispensaries in Needles California, H Street Patient Care and The Bud Farmacy. Both of these dispensaries are vertically integrated and have been serving Southern California and the surrounding areas for over a decade!

Mandy’s story and Potency No. 710 products have been featured in a variety of publications including Allure, Medium, Modern Luxury, Hello Giggles, Elevated Lifestyle Magazine, Vanilla Plum, Refinery 29, The Social NY, and many others

My business is named SelfL. SelfL is a mental health awareness brand with a purpose far beyond products. While the business offers thoughtfully designed apparel and accessories, these are just tools in our mission. At its core, SelfL is dedicated to fostering open conversations about mental well-being. We believe mental health awareness is vital in today’s world, and everything we create is a catalyst for connection, reflection, and mutual support. We aim to break stigma, empower conversations, and make mental wellness part of everyday life.

My 'why' for creating SelfL is deeply personal. I’ve faced mental health struggles throughout my life, and when I lost my younger brother to suicide in 2021, it was a pivotal moment. I recognized I had been on a similar path, but one thing that pulled me back from the edge was dance—it truly saved my life. Even at my lowest last year last year, I achieved incredible things—like being number one nationally in sales. That taught me if I can achieve that at my worst, imagine what’s possible at my best. SelfL is about offering that hope to others.

Looking forward to hearing if there’s an opportunity that aligns. Thank you again for your interest and support!
