Ep165: Candle maker conversation with Lorraine (Dolly & Dulcie)
In today's episode, I'm chatting with Lorraine from Dolly & Dulcie about the ups and downs of the creative journey and how confidence really grows over time as a business owner.
We talk about how easy it is to second guess yourself when you're putting your work out there, especially in the beginning and why learning to back yourself is such an important part of running a creative business.
Lorraine also shares her thoughts on staying authentic and showing up as yourself online and in your business, instead of feeling like you have to fit into what everyone else is doing.
If you've ever struggled with confidence, comparison or just finding your place as a creative business owner, I think you'll really enjoy this conversation.

Ep163: Not getting consistent orders? You need a Breakthrough!
Your candle website might look beautiful… but is it actually selling?
In this episode, I'm sharing what I see behind the scenes when I review candle business websites - and why so many of them aren't converting visitors into customers. From unclear messaging to missing trust factors and websites that leave people browsing instead of buying, I'm breaking down what's likely holding you back (even if you're doing everything "right").
This isn't about starting from scratch or doing more – it's about fixing what's already there so your website can actually do its job (same goes for your Instagram account – they go hand in hand).
If you'd like me to review your website and Instagram so you can start getting more orders, check out the link in the show notes for your own Candle Business Breakthrough (so more of your potential customers can become your actual customers).
