About this listen

In honor of Women’s Small Business Month, host Allison Barber, Marketing Director at RISE Commercial District, sits down with Liz James, owner of Standard Wax, to talk about what it’s really like to run a business while raising a family.

After buying the candle company just six months after becoming a new mom, Liz faced uncertainty, long hours, and plenty of self-doubt. But by trusting her instincts and leaning into her design background, she turned Standard Wax into a profitable, growing business known for its stunning marble candle vessels and loyal customers.

In this episode, Liz shares how she redefined success on her own terms, found balance between ambition and motherhood, and learned that slowing down can actually accelerate growth. Whether you’re a mompreneur, small business owner, or simply navigating the push and pull of life and work, this conversation is full of heart, honesty, and encouragement.
