What inspired you to start your business? What motivates you to keep going?: What inspires me: I started Enlighten Aromas to make some extra money to pay for grad school and I wanted my company to align with my personal mission to encourage women to make time for their self-care while promoting emotional and mental wellness. Enlighten Aromas is a home fragrance brand that provides a practical solution for busy women to make self-care a priority.

What motivates me: 

Women have many responsibilities and often do not slow down long enough to think about how stress is negatively affecting them and the health problems that can develop when exposed to extended or chronic stress. Enlighten Aromas are for the women who feel pulled in multiple directions, have constant demands on their time, and just need a moment to themselves. My products help create an ambiance for comfort, relaxation, and peace of mind.

How do you create the life you want?:

I want a life that is free of constraints both real and perceived. I create the life I want by exercising my power to choose each day. I make sure I am intentional with everything I do and embrace challenges/responsibilities with gratitude. My goal is to have the resources to freely live and work wherever I desire. Each day I am working towards that goal by building my brand and working toward my educational and financial goals.

What makes you HUMAN?: My compassion and curiosity make me human. These two traits were my driving forces to pursue careers in counseling and education. I genuinely love connecting with others and helping them become their best versions of themselves.

What's three things you want us to know about self-love/wellness?: 

1. Self-love takes time to cultivate and with daily practice it becomes automatic.

2. Emotional and mental wellness are paramount and should be prioritized.

3. Anything worth having is worth working for and the same is true for both self-love and wellness.

What's something we can incorporate today to LIVE LIFE WELL?:: 

You can incorporate spending 10-15 minutes alone meditating and reflecting on where you are and where you want to be. After the time is up spend an additional 10-15 minutes identifying 3 action items to complete by the end of the week to reach the goals you envisioned.
