This episode features an interview with Kobi Gregory and Tasha Harris, the mother-daughter duo behind KobiCo, a unique candle company that combines scents with curated playlists. I simply love the elements of self-care, entrepreneurship, and giving back in their story. Kobi and Tasha share how KobiCo was founded during the challenges of 2020, with Kobi initially wanting to fund a college tour. The candles, each accompanied by a playlist, became a therapeutic outlet for Kobi during quarantine, addressing her mental health struggles. Tasha, having recently left a corporate career, joined forces with Kobi, and together, they navigated the challenges of running a business while emphasizing the importance of self-care. This episode highlights their journey, challenges, and the unexpected joy KobiCo brings, not only to customers but also to the mother-daughter team.
