What inspired you to become an entrepreneur? To be completely honest, entrepreneurship wasn’t on my radar. I am mom to 3 kids. My oldest now (24)she just had purchased her first home and moved out. I had her early, I was 20 years old, so she is half of my half. I was going through separation anxiety. It was during pandemic, I was creating “Busy Work” for my son at that time (7) and daughter(13). We did virtual learning that was outsourced to California Catholic Virtual. We had to wait till Noon cst. to start school. So, in the meantime time I was trying to keep them occupied. I started learning all things candles and teaching them what I was learning.
What does success look like for you?
Success, for me is having a large impact on my kids. First, for them to understand I wanted to give them a different type of exposure to things of the world. Success is the ability to the experience things that is normally out of reach for the person that is afraid to walk out on faith and chase their destiny.
