Episode 64: Diane Marie Pisera, Founder of Italy in a Jar Candles
Saying YES to our dreams and stepping forward in that direction, even if we don't have the answers or feel ready, is SO important.
Diane Marie did just that and she shares her beautiful stories and wisdom with us here. I was inspired and so grateful for our time together, and I know you will love her story too.
Here are some key lessons I loved hearing and want to capture:
Years before she knew she wanted to create this company that captured her love of candles, travel, and Italy (where she was born and raised for the first 9 years of her life) Diane Marie knew she wanted to be an entrepreneur. Even though she didn't know in exactly what way, she said yes to that dream and began reading and studying to be prepared
When the idea came she was ready and launched into it (during covid like I did with this project!)
Diane Marie shared how journaling has been an important part of her journey to:
set goals
reflect on her progress
record her emotions
cultivate an attitude of gratitude to keep her confidence up as she moved in the direction of her dreams.
This episode is so fun and full of stories and advice you can take action on. Give it a listen and please check out Italy in a Jar Candles and give her a follow on social media and her newsletter!
