Unwind MN: How Teresa Sorensen Turned a Pivot into a Purpose

Sometimes the industry changes overnight.

And sometimes, the people building in it have to change just as fast.

Teresa Sorensen didn’t plan to launch a cannabis retail concept. After 33 years in banking, she thought her next chapter might be a little quieter.

Then THC beverages hit her liquor store shelves and sold out almost instantly.

Not long after, regulations changed.

Instead of stepping back, Teresa made a decision. She leaned in.

Unwind MN was born from that moment. A space built around a simple idea: cannabis isn’t about getting drunk. It’s about unwinding.

What started as a reaction turned into a full business, built in real time while the rules were still being written.

In our conversation, Teresa shared what it’s like to pivot quickly, trust your instincts, and build something new without a roadmap.

And maybe most importantly, she reminded us that sometimes the best opportunities are the ones you didn’t plan for.
