On this episode of Giggles & Goals, Crystal Dior and Leonie sit down with the radiant Val Barnett—healthcare exec turned candle queen and founder of Emmerse. Sis didn’t just pivot during the pandemic—she glowed up. Val shares how she turned stress into scents and built a business rooted in self-care, mental wellness, and unapologetic rest (yes, naps are a strategy!).
From grant game struggles to building a team that thrives, Val keeps it real about entrepreneurship, burnout, and the beauty of betting on yourself. If you’ve ever felt stuck between your 9-to-5 and your true calling, this episode is your permission slip to dream big, rest harder, and make your purpose profitable.
Tune in for laughs, lessons, and lavender-scented motivation. ✨
