    Asking For Help Is Power, Not Shame! Guest Episode!!

    Send us a text What if the bravest thing you do this week is ask for help and mean it? We sit down with Gabby Remaly, host of the Blissfully Bold podcast, to dismantle the “do it all” myth and rebuild your days around boundaries, values, and real self-trust. From 60-hour weeks and new motherhood to a values-first job search, Gabby shares how she stopped proving and started choosing, and why that shift opened more space, clarity, and courage than any productivity hack. We walk through her micro-journaling method, release, reflect, realign and show how it turns emotional noise into practical next steps you can take tomorrow. You’ll hear how to spot patterns in your stress, translate them into better boundaries, and use a planner-journal workflow to make change stick. We also challenge the loud expert advice about niching and mass job applications, replacing it with a simple question: does this path align with your life, your nervous system, and your definition of success? Along the way, we trade hype songs and book fuel, and get honest about the most liberating no: fewer hours, a season of intentional pause, or saying no to roles that cost your peace. If you’ve felt invisible in rooms that demand you shrink to fit, this conversation gives you language and tools to stand tall, ask for what you need, and follow your intuition before the outside noise moves in. Subscribe for more bold, values-driven conversations, share this with a friend who’s ready to draw a new line, and leave a review to tell us the one boundary you’re claiming next. Your voice is the spark!! Let’s keep it lit.

    Guilty Pleasures, Real Fuel

    Send us a text What if your “guilty pleasures” aren’t guilty at all, but the exact fuel you need to feel brave, seen, and alive? We dive into the late-night tug of one more chapter and the irresistible pull of true crime podcasts, then reveal the deeper reasons these habits matter: language for hard feelings, proof of survival, and a renewed trust in your own intuition. Along the way, we share a micro ritual you can use anytime, turn the page, strike the match - to transform passive consumption into intentional nourishment. Books become portals that let us practice being human, try on courage, and return to our lives carrying sharper questions and kinder words. True crime, often judged as morbid, takes on a different shape here: pattern recognition and agency. It reminds us that paying attention is power, that women’s stories deserve daylight, and that listening can teach us when to leave, when to speak, and how to stand tall. Instead of shaming curiosity, we honor it and we show you how to do the same with five focused journal prompts that turn obsession into insight and action. You’ll leave with a practical way to bless your reading or listening time, a reframed view of “addictions” as breadcrumbs back to your fire, and a nudge to follow what genuinely lights you up. If you’re ready to trade guilt for fuel and treat your attention like the sacred spark it is, press play, breathe deep, and let the story feed you. If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who needs permission to indulge, and leave a spicy little review so more Firestarters can find us. www.sheignitescandleco.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheignitescandleco/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thekarilowe Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1MLVk3uvJp/ email: kari@girluncovered.com Post-production editing by SoulFlow Studios - https://soulflowstudios.com/

    Candlelit Confessions

    Send us a text If your chest tightens around a truth you never say out loud, this conversation was made for you. We pull back the curtain on Candlelit Confessions, our simple ritual where a lit wick, a clear prompt, and an unpolished answer turn private revelations into shared relief. What started as late-night journaling became a living practice when the words felt too heavy to stay on paper, and the moment they were voiced, messages poured in from women who realized they weren’t alone. We walk through the anatomy of the ritual, why fire anchors presence, how prompts create focus, and what happens physiologically when a secret meets sound. Instead of assigning homework from a pedestal, we answer the prompts right alongside you, imperfect and unscripted, so you can hear the pauses, the rewrites, and the courage it takes to name a real thing in real time. That honesty is where shame loses oxygen and connection begins. We talk about the shift from personal to collective healing, how one confession becomes a chorus, and why participation matters more than polish. You’ll leave with three powerful prompts to try tonight: where you’re still hiding to keep others comfortable, what truth feels heavy in your chest, and what you’d say if fear stepped aside. Whether you speak your answer, write it down, or record a voice note, the key is motion - from listening to naming, from secrecy to sound. Light your candle, pick up your pen, and pass the torch by sharing with a friend or tagging us when you post. If this resonates, subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who needs a spark today. Your voice might be the match that helps them see their own.

    Unlearning Pretty

    Send us a text What happens when “be pretty” becomes the unspoken rule shaping your choices, your voice, and your dreams? We pull back the curtain on how prettiness gets coded as compliance - be quiet, be neat, be easy and show how that script steals presence, power, and authenticity. From the childhood compliment that felt warm and confusing at the same time to the adult habits of apology, downplaying wins, and smoothing edges, we trace how approval can become a cage and why your edges are exactly where your strength lives. We walk through the real costs of performing pretty: the opinions swallowed to stay likable, the ambitions traded for acceptance, and the burnout of curating yourself to be digestible. Then we pivot to the antidote: redefining beauty as truth. You’ll get clear prompts to spot where you’re still performing, language shifts that align your inside with your outside, and a practical way to measure progress so that confidence is no longer a costume but a current you carry into every room. You’ll also learn how to practice ugly bravery, posting the unfiltered version, sharing the inconvenient thought, and owning the “too much” that makes you unforgettable. We guide you through the Mirror Rebellion ritual to rewire self-talk and close with a seven-day Pretty Detox Challenge that turns insight into action: identify, replace, wear your power, speak unpolished, say no without apologies, celebrate non-physical traits, and reflect on the shift. Stop chasing pretty like it’s the prize. Choose presence that crackles, power that radiates, and a voice that refuses to shrink. If this lit a spark, subscribe, leave a spicy review, and tag us at She Ignites Candle Co. so we can hype you up. Your fire is welcome here - bring it, share it, and invite a friend who needs the reminder that she was never meant to be palatable. www.sheignitescandleco.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheignitescandleco/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thekarilowe Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1MLVk3uvJp/ email: kari@girluncovered.com Post-production editing by SoulFlow Studios - https://soulflowstudios.com/

    Mic Drop Decisions

    Send us a text A single sentence can flip the energy of your life. That’s the heartbeat of this fiery conversation about mic drop moments, the decisive, aligned, irreversible choices that collapse timelines and move you from almost to absolutely. We get real about fear, finality, and why clarity often looks like a short line said out loud rather than a perfect speech rehearsed forever. I share a personal story about hovering over send on an email that changed everything, then walking off a stage I never wanted to stand on. From that instant, we sketch a practical, repeatable framework: how to spot the stage you’re already standing on, how to craft a line that fits your future self, and how to drop the mic without scooping it back up to over-explain. You’ll hear examples you can borrow - “I’m done,” “I’m ready,” “This isn’t for me,” “I’m taking it” and a body check to know when your words land with truth. We also talk about why we dodge final choices: the comfort of routine, the approval of people who prefer us smaller, and the illusion of infinite prep time. Then we dismantle those hurdles with a simple visualization, the Silent Exit - and a focused seven-day challenge that turns insight into action: identify, write, practice, declare, act, hold the line, and celebrate the space you just created. This isn’t about drama. It’s about refusing to negotiate with your potential and choosing a course that matches who you’re becoming. Light your courage, cut the noise, and make one clean move that opens a bigger room. If this hits home, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who’s ready to hear the thud of their own mic.

  6. From Teacher To Trailblazer: Confidence, Identity, And Building A Life You Choose

    From Teacher To Trailblazer: Confidence, Identity, And Building A Life You Choose

    Send us a text What if confidence isn’t a louder voice but a truer one? We sit down with Lindsay Dollinger - teacher, travel advisor, business coach, and professional fire-starter in her own right, to unpack how identity, worthiness, and action braid together to create real momentum. From an upbringing that championed “you can do anything” to the grit forged through mean girls and toxic leadership, Lindsay shares the moments that forced a reset and the choices that followed. We trace three pivotal “match moments”: saying yes to an unlikely business after loss, turning a conference high into same-night execution with a face-mask planning session, and using workplace disrespect as fuel to build autonomy. Along the way, we explore a crucial distinction, confidence versus worthiness and why you can appear bold while still questioning if you deserve the room. Lindsay’s answer is a playbook of micro-commitments: five-minute starts, tiny habit stacks, and introducing yourself as who you’re becoming so your actions catch up to your words. This conversation also dives into the power of community that crosses industries. When teachers, authors, makers, and marketers collide, fresh ideas multiply and belief becomes contagious. We talk through the messy middle, renaming podcasts, sunsetting offers, rebuilding programs and how to trust the process without glamorizing struggle. Expect practical encouragement for non-business goals too: from choosing clothes that help you feel put together to hitting play on a hype song when you need a fast state change. If you’ve been waiting for perfect timing, consider this your nudge to start where you stand and let the evidence stack in your favor.

    You Don’t Need Perfect Conditions To Shine

    Send us a text What proves your light isn’t the sunny days - it’s the dark rooms where you’re tempted to shrink. We’re getting real about how to keep your glow alive when life feels heavy, cold, or uncertain, and why radiance that waits for permission isn’t radiance at all. Through a raw personal story of disappearing to stay safe, we pivot into a practical, grounded approach to self-worth: choose to glow as an act of resistance and a declaration that you will not be swallowed. We map out four reliable sources of light you can generate on your own terms. Purpose light aligns you with why you’re here and what you stand for. Pleasure light brings small, sensory joy that recalibrates your nervous system. People light is your mirror tribe, the ones who reflect your brilliance when you can’t. Power light is boundary work in motion, from clean no’s to curating inputs that feed your spark. You’ll also get three defining questions to name your unique glow and a simple daily rhythm, morning claim, midday micro luxury, and nighttime evidence that keeps your energy steady. To make this stick, we guide a short visualization to locate the warm spear of light at your center and turn it up with breath, memory, and intention. Then we roll into a seven-day glow challenge that helps you eliminate dimmers, call in support, practice creative play without an audience, and track the wins that prove your light is real. This is not about pretending the dark isn’t there. It’s about refusing to let it define you and becoming the lighthouse someone else might need tonight. Subscribe for more bold, practical tools, leave a spicy review if this sparked something, and tag us at SheIgnites Candle Co. so we can hype you up. What’s your brightness score right now from 1–10, and which glow source will you charge first? www.sheignitescandleco.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheignitescandleco/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thekarilowe Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1MLVk3uvJp/ email: kari@girluncovered.com Post-production editing by SoulFlow Studios - https://soulflowstudios.com/
