🌙 From Burnout to Glow: The Journey Behind Glow&Give
I didn’t plan to start a candle business. I just needed to feel whole again.
My name is Julia — founder of Glow&Give, aromatherapy specialist, mental health advocate, and someone who had to fall apart to find herself again.
For over a decade, I worked in mental health and safeguarding. I poured my heart into helping others heal, but somewhere along the way, I lost connection with myself. In July 2024, I reached a breaking point. I was burnt out, overwhelmed, and emotionally numb — showing up for everyone else, but no longer feeling like me.
One quiet evening, I lit a candle.
And something shifted.
The soft flicker, the warmth, the scent — it became a ritual of peace in a world that had stopped feeling safe. That one moment of calm led to another. I began blending essential oils, studying aromatherapy, learning the healing power of scent and stillness. The more I created, the more I healed. And from that healing, Glow&Give was born.
This isn’t just a candle brand. It’s a love letter to every woman who’s ever felt like she was running on empty.
✨ What Glow&Give Stands For:
Every candle I create is:
- Hand-poured with natural soy wax and ethically chosen ingredients
- Crafted with essential oils for emotional support and sensory calm
- Designed to hold space for anxiety relief, deep rest, and inner strength
- A reminder that healing doesn’t have to be loud — sometimes it’s just a flame, flickering quietly beside you
Glow&Give is also about giving back — not just through candles, but through the stories we share, the community we build, and the kindness we pass on.
💜 Why This Matters
-
You don’t need to be fixed.
You don’t need to hustle harder.
You just need moments — gentle, intentional, loving moments — to come back to yourself.
That’s what Glow&Give offers.
Whether you’re gifting a friend, struggling through anxiety, or simply seeking a pause in your day — there’s a candle here for you. And through that glow, you’ll begin to remember:
✨ You are strong. You are soft. And you are still healing — beautifully.
Thank you for being here.
You're not just buying a candle — you're becoming part of a story of light.
With love,
Julia
