Leah and Mike, founders of Embolden Candle Co, with their two daughters and dog, Mowgli

Our journey began in 2019 as a start and practice to entrepreneurship, but it quickly became so much more than that. The brand was built and our hearts were poured into the mission it holds.

A bit about the founders and the ones behind the scenes...

We are Mike and Leah — entrepreneurs, proud parents of two beautiful girls, and more importantly, followers of Christ.

Leah's background is in interior design and she is the creative behind the aesthetics and brand creation.

Mike's background is in engineering and he is the entrepreneur at heart. He hand-pours all of our candles and he often is creating 3D printed components to bring efficiency and quality control to our products.

When we're not pouring candles, you'll find us at the beach most summer evenings, doing crafts with our girls, or getting our sweat on playing volleyball or pickleball.

Thank you for getting to know a bit more about us and for joining us on this journey.

Our Mission

Our mission is to connect with others through candles that are safe and beautiful.

To us, our candles are all about sparking emotion, memories, and meaning. It's about creating an avenue to share stories, to build relationships, and to ultimately touch hearts. Life is meant to be done in community and it is our hope that our candles will help celebrate life's most joyous moments, but also help in the difficult times when you just might not have the words to say.
