Nyaka Loreilhe was making four dozen candles the day before giving birth to her third son. Here, she shares the story behind Lily of the Valley, and her vision for a business that helps women feel confident and creates opportunities for others.
This is the story of how Lily of the Valley grew from a personal need into a purpose-driven business. It is about motherhood, resilience, self-doubt, entrepreneurship, and the unexpected moments that change the direction of your life.
At the heart of it is “LOV”… Lily Of the Valley, but also love. The love you have for your children, for women, for creating something meaningful, and for building opportunities for others.
There are so many women trying to build something while raising children, supporting families, working, recovering from setbacks and wondering if they’re doing enough. My story tells them that success doesn’t always look like having everything figured out. Sometimes it looks like delivering 4 dozen candles the day before delivering your third son.
There can be enough LOV to build something for yourself… and enough LOV left over to create opportunities for other women.
There’s more to this story – and you’re invited.
