From Healing to Glowing: The Story Behind Glow&Give by Julia

From Healing to Glowing: The Story Behind Glow&Give by Julia

Hi, I’m Julia, the founder of Glow&Give. Not long ago, I reached a point in my life where everything felt overwhelming. I was giving so much to others through my work in mental health, but I wasn’t giving enough to myself. I felt lost, disconnected, and unsure of how to move forward.

One day, I found myself lighting a candle—something I’d always loved but hadn’t truly appreciated before. As I watched its soft, steady glow, it brought me a moment of calm I hadn’t felt in a long time. That small ritual of lighting a candle became a way for me to pause, reflect, and reconnect with myself.

A Spark of Healing

That single moment sparked what would become Glow&Give—a brand born out of my healing journey, created to help others find their light too. Every candle I craft carries the intention of bringing comfort, connection, and hope into your life, just as they did for me.

In July 2024, during one of my most vulnerable moments, I realised that I couldn’t pour from an empty cup. I finally reached out for help, marking the start of a journey of healing and self-discovery.

Candles and essential oils became my sanctuary. Their gentle flicker and soothing, natural aromas reminded me to pause, breathe, and embrace stillness. What began as a personal act of self-care soon turned into a passion—a desire to create something meaningful for others.

The Birth of Glow&Give by Julia

Glow&Give was born on 1st September 2024, but it took time for me to gather the courage to put it out into the world. For months, I hesitated, unsure of whether I was ready.

In November 2024, I finally took a leap of faith. Glow&Give by Julia became more than just a personal project—it became a brand with a purpose far greater than selling candles. The name Glow&Give reflects this mission: to bring warmth and light into people’s lives while giving back to causes close to my heart.

Why Candles?

Candles are more than just a source of light—they’re a symbol of hope, comfort, and renewal. For me, they represent transformation. Just as a candle burns and evolves, so too can we let go of what no longer serves us and embrace our own inner glow.

A Message to You

If you’ve ever felt like life is too heavy or you’re searching for a way to reconnect with yourself, I want you to know you’re not alone. I’ve been there, and Glow&Give is my way of reminding you that brighter days are ahead.

This blog isn’t just about my story; it’s about all of us. We all face moments of doubt, pain, or uncertainty, but those moments don’t define us. What matters is how we choose to rise, heal, and move forward.

The Journey Continues

Glow&Give is my way of honouring that process—not just for myself but for everyone searching for their own light. Whether it’s through a candle’s gentle glow or the community we’re building, I hope to make a difference in as many lives as possible.
