“I had heard of a group called Wild Sea Women who gather on several beaches and swim in the sea. I learned that they were meeting in Irvine Beach one day and I went to a nearby parking lot.
“While I was sitting in the car watching the women getting ready to go out in the water, I started to feel anxious and that stopped me. I couldn’t get out of the car and didn’t have the courage to get off the beach, introduce myself and tell the group I wanted to join.
“I know it sounds amazing, but taking CBD Nutrivive oil has made me feel brave and I finally took the courage to join the group. Now I regularly swim in the sea and also in the pool in my locality three or four times a week “.
