Episode 5: From Teacher to Entrepreneur: How Regina started her own business and is inspiring others to do the same

Go ahead and text me! Regina Pasqualone is a wife, mother, and a former teacher. After 14 years teaching English, she followed her creative path to a successful "wellness lifestyle" candle company called Tiny Kitchen Candle Company.  Her artisanal candles offer a special de-stressing experience. Hand-crafted by Regina, each candle offers original scents, a crackling wood wick, and non-toxic materials. The amber jar gives the flickering candle light a warm old-fashioned feel making it what Regina calls "a complete sensory experience."   These are not your typical candles. Regina tells us a little bit about her background, how she started, how the company grew, and how you can do it too. An inspiring story about following your creative dream.Take Aways:1.
