In the world of handmade goods, there’s a warmth and authenticity that can’t be replicated, a signature touch that makes each item feel like a gift crafted with care. That’s exactly the feeling I had when I first encountered mompreneur Sonya Dixon’s products from Dixon Candle and Bath. Every candle, every sachet, seems to carry a piece of her dedication and commitment to the people who use them. Today, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Sonya to learn more about the heart and story behind her business.

The Inspiration Behind Dixon Candle and Bath

“Tell me a little about Dixon Candle and Bath—what inspired you to start crafting candles and bath products?”

“Well, it all began with my love for creating. Dixon Candle and Bath is all about bringing comfort and a little touch of luxury into people’s everyday lives,” she explains. “There’s something deeply satisfying about making products that people love, that help them unwind after a long day.”

 

Balancing Business and Family

I ask about her journey as a mompreneur—her motivation and what keeps her going.

“How does being a mom influence your work and inspire your journey as an entrepreneur?”

“Oh, my kids have everything to do with it! They’re my biggest motivation,” Sonya shares. “I want them to see that pursuing a passion is worth every challenge. They’ve seen the hard work, the ups and downs, and it’s important to me that they know resilience can create something meaningful.”

 

Advice for Other Mompreneurs

There’s a special kind of strength that comes from balancing the demands of business and family. I’m curious about what advice she might give to other moms on their own entrepreneurial path.

“If there was one piece of advice you’d pass on to other moms trying to balance family and business, what would it be?”

She doesn’t hesitate. “Stay focused on your goals, and don’t be afraid to take risks,” she says with conviction. “Balance can feel impossible sometimes, but every challenge is a stepping stone. You just have to keep going, even when things seem overwhelming.”

Her words resonate deeply. Sonya’s journey is one filled with dedication and adaptability, traits that every mompreneur knows well. As we talk about the realities of business ownership, I’m curious to know about the biggest obstacles she’s faced.

“What are some of the hardest parts of your journey?” I ask, wondering what advice she might offer from her experience.

“Time management, for sure,” she says. “Juggling it all can feel overwhelming. I’ve had to learn to make every moment count and accept that some things might not go exactly as planned—and that’s okay!”

I find myself inspired by her dedication to both her craft and her community. Her business is more than just a livelihood; it’s a way for her to build a sense of connection with the people around her. So I ask her about the impact she hopes to have, especially close to home.

“And in the long run, how do you see your business making a difference in your family and community?”

“In my community, I’ve already got this nickname as the ‘Sachet & Candle Lady,’” she laughs, “and I love it! I hope my business brings warmth and relaxation into people’s lives. I want my family to look at what I’ve built and feel a sense of pride, to know that I’ve done something meaningful.”
