“You have imposter syndrome.” Those words, spoken to me years ago, stuck with me. I’m not sure if hearing it made me believe it or if it just made me notice it more, but since then, I’ve often wrestled with feelings of self-doubt that creep in at the worst times.
We’ve all been there—that little voice inside saying, “You’re not good enough,” or, “Why do you think you can do this?” It’s frustrating and hard to ignore. But over time, I’ve realized that those thoughts are just noise. They don’t define who I am.
What I’ve learned is that my real strength is finding the positive, staying grounded, and staying balanced. It’s not about “settling” for less, even though it might sound like that. It’s about practicing gratitude and choosing to find joy and purpose, even when things feel uncertain.
How the ‘Through the Rose Lens’ Candle Collection Can Inspire You
The “Through the Rose Lens” collection came from this journey of self-discovery. It’s all about seeing life in the best way possible, even when things aren’t perfect. Each candle scent in this collection tells a story of growth, self-love, and finding beauty in the little things:
- First Bloom: A mix of ocean rose, oak moss, and amber, this scent reminds you of new beginnings. It’s about embracing change and stepping into something fresh and exciting.
- Golden Hour: A blend of amber, bamboo, and creamy coconut, this scent captures those golden moments when everything feels calm and bright. It’s perfect for building confidence and finding your glow.
- Strawberry Chantilly: Sweet strawberries and vanilla cream come together to celebrate life’s small joys. It’s a reminder to treat yourself and enjoy the little things.
- Palo Santo Citrine: The earthy scent of Palo Santo mixed with the uplifting energy of citrine is great for moments of reflection. It helps you feel grounded and ready to focus on your intentions.
