DALLAS — Overwhelmed and out of options, one woman’s crisis spurred her and her best friend to start a business centered around health. Now they’re on a mission to take care of others like they would their own family.

"The people that finally find us we’re like their last option, they’ve tried everything else," said Stacie Czech.

Czech and Kristi Kelly co-own Thryv Organics, a premium CBD shop. CBD stands for cannabidiol and is derived from hemp plants.

CBD, Czech said, changed her life.

Czech’s mom was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis decades ago and the disease crippled her with chronic pain. As a caretaker, Czech was desperate to find her mom relief.

"It’s a very lonely process, you feel like it’s a bunch of starts and stops. You feel very lonely," said Czech.

She said she discovered CBD, did some research, and thought, "Why the heck not?"

Now, Czech said her mom is off all her pain meds. CBD, she noted, is not a pain killer, but Czech said it can impact your immune system, mood, and nervous system.
