The Project

Years ago at Healthline, I ended up on the CBD beat. I learned a lot , and it led to my first exchange with Jim Higdon of Cornbread Hemp. When I was looking to add a few accounts in late 2024, I pitched myself as a content writer for the Cornbread blog. I’m happy to say it was an immediate yes, and I’ve been writing weekly for these guys ever since.

The Process

Cornbread had just launched its THC gummies when I began, and the brand rolled out its wildly popular THC seltzers in summer 2025, so there’s a lot to cover. I lean into my cannabis content background to write articles with an educational slant, all while optimizing for SEO and AI overviews. It’s an interesting way of expanding on what I already know about the industry.

"Jessica is the best writer we've ever worked with for blog content at Cornbread Hemp,” Eric Zipperle, Jim’s co-founder, wrote when I asked for a review. “Her attention to detail and knowledge of our category is unmatched, which makes it incredibly easy to work with her. She has added a ton of value to our team both from a content and SEO perspective. Thank you, Jessica!”
