This week on the Creative Business Community Podcast, Erin welcomes Amy, the candle maker and workshop host behind Cherry Blossom Candle & Co. Amy shares how a tough season with postpartum depression led her to candle making, and how she pivoted from selling products at markets to creating intimate, mindful workshops that prioritise connection, calm and community. We dive into navigating anxiety and self-doubt, setting boundaries and embracing self-care, plus practical tips on selling experiences, showing up authentically on socials, listening to feedback and leveraging platforms like ClassBento. You’ll also hear how one raw, unplanned moment became a turning point for her business, and why smaller, lounge-room-style classes are her secret sauce. Mentioned during the podcast:
