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.Feeling stuck can feel like a verdict, but we treat it like a signal—and signals can be decoded. We open the door on why momentum stalls, not by blaming the algorithm or your audience, but by confronting the quiet story that shapes every decision: I missed my moment, Nobody cares anymore, What if I’m not good enough this time. Once we surface those lines, we walk you through a simple framework to rewrite them into a comeback narrative you can actually use.
We lean into a practical, three-part prompt: I failed at blank. That taught me blank, and now I know blank. This small shift turns setbacks into clear lessons and those lessons into actions you can take today. With the vault workbook as your reset space, you’ll capture specifics instead of vague doubts, design one small next step, and prove to yourself that you’re not behind—you’re paused. A pause can be the most self-aware version of you, gathering signal before the next move.
Across the conversation, we challenge the myths that keep creators and entrepreneurs spinning their wheels and share how to anchor new truths in simple habits: weekly reflection, tiny tests, and visible outputs. Expect direct language, clean prompts, and a compassionate push to translate clarity into motion. You’ll leave with a repeatable method to shift your inner script and a way to start from wisdom rather than start over.
If this resonated, subscribe for more guided resets, share it with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a quick review to help others find the show. Your comeback starts with one rewritten line—what will yours be?

Welcome back. Episode two of the Comeback Vogue. Episode two is the real reason you feel stuck and how to move again. Okay, let's be real. Feeling stuck sucks. But do you want to know what actually keeps you stuck? It's not the algorithm. It's not your audience. It's not even burnout. It's the story you've been silently repeating to yourself. Things like, I miss my moment. Nobody cares anymore. What if I'm not good enough this time? Those are the things you tell yourself, right? But here's the truth. You're not behind. You're just paused. And pausing isn't quitting, it's clarity in disguise. What if the version of you that feels stuck is actually the most self-aware you've ever been? So in this episode, we're going to rewrite the story right now. So grab your note, your workbook that's in the vault, the comeback vault. And you should go to the page where you can um write down your old beliefs and fill in the blank. I failed at blank. And the second question, the comeback truth. That taught me blank, and now I know blank. So fill in those blanks, okay, and in your workbook. Because stuck is not your identity, it's just a signal. The vault is going to be used as your reset. You're not starting over, you're not uh starting from wisdom. So, what I would like you to do is just journal your old belief and rewrite your new truth using today's workbook. Okay? We're going to keep this going with the vault. And in a few minutes, I'll be back with uh episode three. So stay tuned. Thank you.
