Directionally Challenged

Kayla is joined by business owner and advocate, Taylor Davis, about what finally made her decide to pivot careers from entertainment to candle making. As many can relate, Taylor found herself at a loss during the pandemic and she often sought refuge in self-care such as burning her favorite scents. It was at this point a mentor at her favorite candle store pushed her to start her own venture. In just three years, her candle brand CLR can now be found in select Nordstroms across the country. Listen to hear her journey and mindset that made her company such a success in such a short time.
