🕯️They/them. Scaled cos from 0-$300k in arr, 7-35 employees, 0-100k users. Now I make beautiful, functional, and ethically made candles at humankindcandles.com

Thank you for sharing this Samantha! I worked for 9 years and got laid off twice, first for covid and second time almost 2 years ago. I resonate a lot with what you said that all this responsibility and stress wore you down. I felt like I don’t want to work for someone else dream anymore, invest my time and health. You did something amazing and took action towards something that makes people happy and I can see thats so much more fulfilling for you. I instead allowed myself to get stuck in not knowing where to put my focus. I completed my yoga teacher course and made 200reels and around 20-30 videos on YouTube and got burned out, thinking there is too much competition, that I am so small, so I stopped. Idk why am sharing all of this but I guess I hope to find a way to help and inspire people and earn in the same time soon like you.

I kinda lost myself in this whole process and not sure what I love doing. But I guess not taking action is not a solution either. Ty Samantha! <3

Thank you. If you really love teaching yoga. You should get back to it :) ❤️
