Welcome to the 8th episode of the Take Back Your Home Podcast!

In this episode of the Take Back Your Home podcast, the hosts are excited to collaborate with Alex Brown, founder of Seventh + Shire Candle Company, to create a new custom candle for their brand called "Worthy". The podcast discusses how the candle was Brown's dream come true and how the company has partnered with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital to give back a portion of their sales to the cause. Candle scents are also discussed and how each scent can evoke different emotions and create a specific mood in a space. It is suggested that candles can improve a person's sense of well-being and be used in a home to make it more comfortable and relaxed. The design elements in a space are also discussed and how to consider scent, sound, touch, and the body's feel when using candles. Lee encourages people to take a step-by-step process in designing their home and to address these elements before making any purchases. The podcast also discusses the habit of setting the table for breakfast the night before, the benefits of ambient lighting, a morning routine, and the benefits of tidying up a space and taking care of it to improve one's mental state.
