April Pride is a Seattle-based creative entrepreneur with thirty years working in interiors and product design. For over a decade, she’s been building consumer brands for women in regulated emerging categories — cannabis, psychedelics, and women's health. She founded Van der Pop (acquired by Canopy Growth in 2018), created the podcasts How to Do the Pot and The High Guide, founded the psychedelics platform SetSet, and is launching OF LIKE MINDS, a community for women exploring consciousness, creativity, and optimal health.

April consults with founders, funds, and brands building products for women — especially in the surge of women's healthcare and gray-zone medicine. Engagements range from 30-day strategy diagnostics to ongoing fractional partnerships. Begin at aprilpride.com/work-with-april.

April writes weekly on Substack about women's emerging health stack — cannabis, psychedelics, GLP-1s, peptides, ketamine, and the women's hormone and midlife questions that intersect with them. She covers what women are actually doing, what works, what's hype, and what the brands selling to them are missing. She writes as a consumer expert and educator, not as a clinician.

She also writes about women, plants, and wisdom — specifically, what happens when a community that has always turned to nature for healing finally gets the research, the policy attention, and the cultural momentum to back it up.

OF LIKE MINDS is a forthcoming community for women curious about expanding their own consciousness and contributing to the collective — through creativity, confronting fear, and honing intuition. Founding members are now being invited; applications are open. 

Women in the Wild is April Pride's private intentional gathering series, hosted at her home in Seattle, a decriminalized city. Small groups of women apply to attend an evening structured around guided practice, creativity, and conversation. It is a separate offering from OF LIKE MINDS.
