In this episode, Sarah Spitsen, Chief Candle Lady and Food Giver at Feya Candle, stops by to talk with us about her story of having to shut down her first business, to growing Feya Candle to where it is now! Sarah has such a great story and has accomplished so much in her short time making Feya Candle what it is today. We dive into everything from her first brick and mortar candle store and the hardships of shutting that down due to financial reasons in 2013, all the way to starting Feya Candle and getting into various brick and mortar stores across the United States. Inspired by her Granny Fe and Aunt Pamela, growing up around them she knew she loved feeding people as well as her new passion for making candles. So why not incorporate them together, and that is how Feya Candle began. In the next 6 months, she had sold enough candles to warrant a trip to Haiti to help feed 153 children in need. That trip made such an impact on Sarah and planted a seed in her heart, she knew she was on the right path to happiness and success, but there was a long road ahead. From there Sarah’s story takes a wild turn, where she ends up living out of her car for four months selling her candles to stores all across the country and using a portion of the proceeds to help feed people at 19 different homeless shelters in the cities she traveled to. After her 6-month road trip across the US, she was off to a good start with 80 different stores carrying Feya Candles and has since set her goal to feed 1 million people by partnering with Kids Against Hunger. Crate of Good featured Feya Candle in our Spring 2019 box. Links:Feya Candle: https://feyacandle.com/Kids Against Hunger: https://kidsagainsthunger.com/Food Aid Foundation: https://foodaidfoundation.com/CoG Episode Page: https://crateofgood.com/podcast/sosi-ep3/CoG Spring 2019 Box: https://crateofgood.com/past-boxes/q2-2019/
