As Seen In Her Voice Shines Podcast

Chenadra Washington from the Her Voice Shines podcast talks to Michelle Simmons about how she launched Slow North from her Austin garage while on maternity leave a decade ago. What started as a personal project pouring all-natural candles for her own family evolved into a company rooted in transparency, sustainability, and intentional design. Today, Michelle leads a thriving production studio and retail shop, fostering a community through candle classes and workshops. Her entrepreneurial journey is proof to the power of starting small, persevering through challenges, and letting purpose shape each step.
