Not Just Candle Talk: Burn the Rules. Build Your Legacy
This isn’t your average business podcast.
Not Just Candle Talk is the unapologetic, unfiltered audio home for ambitious entrepreneurs, creatives, and side-hustlers ready to do business on their own terms — no fluff, no fake motivation.
Founded on real experience and raw truth, this podcast dives into the real-life challenges behind the candle business and beyond. Whether you’re just starting out or scaling your empire, every episode is packed with lessons, strategies, and mindset shifts to help you build a business and a life you don’t need to escape from.
Hey, I’m Toni, and I know what it’s like to start from scratch.
When I launched my candle business, I had big dreams but limited resources — no investors, no fancy marketing team, just grit, Google, and a lot of trial and error. I built my brand from the ground up, burned out more times than I can count, and learned to pivot, scale, and get smart about what really makes money in this game.
Not Just Candle Talk was born out of my journey — the highs, the hustle, the hard lessons — and the deep desire to have conversations no one else is having in entrepreneurship. The stuff beyond the surface. The why behind the work.
This Podcast Is For You If…
- You’re tired of overnight success stories with no receipts.
- You want to make real money while staying true to yourself.
- You believe business can be both profitable and purposeful.
- You’re building your brand while managing your real life.

Support the show & get subscriber-only content.If you’ve been pushing through with journals, master classes, and endless carousels, yet still feel stuck, this kickoff offers a different way forward. We open the Comeback Vault with a simple promise: ditch the noise, find your purpose, and build a reset that actually holds under pressure. No hacks. No hustle worship. Just a clean path from burnout to bold where your pause becomes your power.
We break down why so many creators and founders chase virality and end up exhausted, and how choosing visibility—showing up for the right people with the right message—creates momentum you can sustain. You’ll hear a focused framework that trades complexity for clarity: fewer goals, tighter promises, and a cadence you can keep. The heart of this episode is your first mission: write down three reasons you’re making a comeback—why now, why you, and why this next version matters—and say them out loud to anchor your direction.
Along the way, we share language that helps reframe your pause from punishment to possibility, plus a simple way to align your content and offers with the transformation your audience actually wants. You’ll leave with a workbook prompt to spark action today, not someday, and a reminder that your voice doesn’t need to go viral to change the right room. This is a warm welcome to the vault and a practical start to your return.
Subscribe for the full series, share this with someone who needs a reset, and leave a quick review telling us your “Why Now.” Your comeback starts now.
