Want a ritual that actually changes how you feel in your body? We go all-in on Pussy Power: a bold, beautifully crafted candle shaped like the feminine form, designed to help you call your energy back, anchor your intentions, and create from a place of safety and joy. We share the messy, magical process—molds, wax temps, wick testing, and the scent trials that led us to a cherry-forward profile that feels playful and deeply on-brand. Craft meets meaning here: colorways that honor real bodies, a flame that doubles as a focus tool, and a design that invites you to embrace the divine feminine without apology.

From there, we build a full ritual. We read womb-centered affirmations, unpack sexual transmutation as a path to creative momentum, and add a QR-linked meditation to guide breath and presence. Scent becomes your anchor with the Love on Yourself intention spray—spritz, speak “I am enough,” and let aroma tie thought to feeling. If you’ve lived as a people-pleaser, these practices rewire worth from performance to presence. Pair the spray with our affirmation journal, do mirror work, and choose one small action that matches your words. Over time, tiny rituals stack into real change.

We’re honest about entrepreneurship too: when to pause, when to play, and how discipline plus joy beats hustle. Custom naming, retail possibilities, and community workshops are on the horizon, but the core stays simple—protect your vibration, speak to your nervous system, and let creation be fun. If you’ve been sitting on a nudge, consider this your sign to begin. Light the candle, breathe, and remember who you are. If this conversation sparked something, subscribe, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review with your favorite power ritual—we’re building this movement with you.

This is the Pussy Power episode. I whispered it, but your chest is the pussy power episode. Pussy Power.

Defining Pussy Power And Intent

From Mold To Candle Concept

SPEAKER_00

Ooh, let's hope our moms don't listen to this one because it's gonna be pussy all over the place. Oh man. I shouldn't say that. Because we really mean it with the best intention, y'all. For real. So let's start from the beginning. Because we just wanted to be dramatic. Exactly. The intro. We just want to shock you and make you a little bit uncomfortable. If you're uncomfortable, that's good. It's okay to be a little uncomfortable with the word. Just keep listening. So let me tell you, so this latest new creation that I'm so excited about, so, so, so excited about. We didn't do it. Welcome back to the podcast. Oh. Okay. Well, you guys know what it is. We've been in here for a few episodes. We welcome you with so much love. And it is our pleasure to sit before you and share our hearts with you. Thank you for being here. I am Tanisha. And I'm Kaylin. And we are Lit for Life Baby. Lit is an acronym for love, inspiration, transformation. We promote all things self-care and self-love. We have wonderful handmade products that we make. I am the maker of the candles. Kaylin does the intention sprays. And together we make it do what it does through events, through candle making workshops, through craft shows, through social media, and we're just looking to expand. We have a day coming that we will have a customized self-care RV so that we can be out here promoting self-care all over the world. So that is a part of our mission. So back to the pussy. Yes. So I was thinking of a way to promote how can we promote feminine energy? How can we promote how proud we are of ourselves? And, you know, it's our time. It's the time for the divine feminine baby. It's time for us to show up for ourselves, to walk in our power, to let our light shine. So I've been having this mold and this shape like a vagina. And I wanted to do something with it. I made some, I played around with it last year. I didn't really think of putting it on a candle. But then it came to me, and I lightly played with the idea. And then one of my friends, shout out to Jocelyn, who directed me towards this series on HBO called Somebody Somewhere. And in one of the episodes, the um one of the characters made a pillow called Lion Cunt. You lying cunt. You gotta watch the show. You gotta catch the backstory. So good. But the pillow became so popular that she became rich off making all these different cunt pillows. Like big cunt energy, lying cunt. Um, I can't remember the pillow. Yeah. But it made me feel really better, a lot better about these pussy power candles. Like we're promoting feminine energy, but the candle is gonna be an actual candle with the shape of a vagina sitting on top of it. So I've been posting all kinds of content about it, the diff the the strategy that it takes to actually make the pussy in the mold. Like it's a very, you have to have precision and intention when you make these. So I'm looking forward to the creative process. Right now, as of today, we're in the testing phase of it. So I created it, it's 100% soy, so it will need to cure for two weeks. We are making the pussies in different colors. I had to kind of do a little research.

SPEAKER_01

Shout out to multicultural colored pussy. Yeah, because we're gonna keep them all.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, so there's a different, there's three different sections in this mold. There's a shape for the clit, then there's the labia, and then there's like the lips. It's the labia, menora, and majora. So yeah, those. So I've been playing with the different colors of each one. So I want to make a blend that caters to majority of ethnicities, if I can. Did I say that word right? Ethnicities. There you go. Mm-hmm. So it's been fun to play with it. Looking forward to it has to cure for two weeks, and then I get to test the wick and make sure it's the right wick. But yeah, we're gonna pump these out and make it a big deal. And is they've already been getting great feedback just from me posting the actual candle making process of it. And they smell so good. So I've been playing with one scent, which is a blend of baccarat rouge and peach. The peach is so powerful, it just covers up the baccarat smell. You can't, it's not really giving what I wanted. So I also tested one called Tom Ford Lost Cherry, and that one is my favorite. It smells so good.

SPEAKER_01

And I think it's really on brand. Yeah. The pussy power candle and it's cherry sun t.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. I love it. Agreed. So yeah, it's lit. It's lit. I'm looking forward to playing with the different pussy. So we were, I was thinking about all the different ways this candle could hit. Yeah for Spencer's, for Lover's Lane, for different like novelty stores. And even the name can be changed. It don't have to be just pussy power. It could be cunt candles. Exactly. Lion cunt. Yeah. My cunt's burning. Burn my cunt. And if anybody wants like personalized one, we're still in the face. I have a friend that asked me, can you name it Maya's Pussy?

SPEAKER_01

So it would be so cool, right? For you to be able to burn a candle and set some intentions about your pussy and about your womanhood, your femininity, your divinity.

Scent Testing And Brand Fit

SPEAKER_00

Yep. So I took a few notes. I have a whole page of notes about this pussy power candle. And some of them are read some of the affirmations because it's basically referring to our sacred center. You know, the areas of where our sacral chakra is located. That is your area of creativity and sexuality. So one of the affirmations is my womb is a portal of creation, wisdom, and infinite power. I trust the intelligence of my body. She always leads me home. My pleasure is sacred and my desire is divine. I am deeply rooted, wildly intuitive, and irresistibly magnetic. So just some affirmations when you need that little boost of remembrance. Because it's already there. You just need to remember. So claim your candle and remember the truth of who you are and what you can create through your sacral energy. And I can't wait till we get into conversations where we talk about sexual transmutation because that's an energy too that this candle will exude. The sexual transmutation, being able to take your creative energy, transmute it from sexual energy. That's a real thing. So light that candle, take that bath, sit with yourself. We'll also have a QR code attached to it with a pussy power meditation that Kaylin did, and I'm so excited to see how that will play out. It might even be a QR code right in here.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, people just can't put their candle out with it. Well, they could if they save it. Yeah, like if they pull it off. It'll have to be a tag. We'll we'll be able to work that out.

Retail Ideas And Customization

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, we'll see. We'll see. But yeah, exploring the options. This this is part of the process of launching a candle. So yeah, we're sitting here with three different pussy candles, and they're all different colors. A few of them are different, one is a different scent from two of them. But yeah, playing with the ways that they're made, because see the little I know they're not gonna, I don't expect it to be perfect, but I do want to like be in the lines.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And I'm learning that it is a matter of the temperature that you drop in the wax. So if you do it and it's warm, it's gonna do this. So it has to be hot enough so that it spreads because it clumps up really quick being wax milk wax. But anyway, that's another topic for another day. That's like a YouTube tutorial type of video. But yeah, excited about the pussy power release.

SPEAKER_01

Bring on the pussy.

SPEAKER_00

And so let's talk about your product that you are promoting for this season.

Affirmations And Sacral Energy

SPEAKER_01

So this season, I am promoting the Love on Yourself intention setting spray. Now, one thing that I used to get a lot when we were at events was are these room sprays? And they're actually more than that. They're intention setting. They're something that you utilize to be able to set your intentions and seal it with that scent. It is such a connection between scent and thought and feeling and all of that together will give you exactly that powerful like what you're trying to cement. So this Love on Yourself Intention Setting Spray is specifically for self-love, and I created I created some affirmations that are actually on the spray bottle itself. It comes in two sizes. There's a two-ounce and a four-ounce, and the each of the affirmations on here say, I am enough exactly as I am today. I pour love into myself freely and fully. My heart is open to giving and receiving love. And every day I grow deeper in love with who I'm becoming. And the way that you utilize these phrase is you sit to think about what that intention is that you're wanting for yourself. Are you looking to give yourself that wow, I'm feeling these waves of anxiety, I'm having these thoughts about myself and my worth. Am I enoughness? And I really just need to remind myself who the hell I am. I spray this, I set that intention, I say the affirmations, whether it's on the bottle or just something from my heart, whatever it is that I'm feeling, and breathe that in. Smell those beautiful florals together, and how that really brings me to this memory of man, I do love myself. Is this remembrance, it calls you back to who you really are. Like we are made in the image of God and we are love, we are source, and that's what this does for me. There was such a big season that I didn't know what self-love was. The majority of my life I didn't know what self-love was. I knew what pleasing other people was. Yep. I knew how to be the best insert title for everybody else. For everybody else. I knew all that. I knew how to play the on the pedestal person. I knew how to play all those roles and wear all the masks and be all the people, but I didn't know how to be Kaylain. And there's so much that can be said about that. There's a lot of friendships and relationships and things that came and went that I thought there was always something wrong with me. Yeah. But I didn't know that the other option was love yourself.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Stop trying to be the everything for everybody else.

SPEAKER_00

And low-key would be Source's way of helping you to see that you're you're set apart. You're not even meant to be connected to them. I need you over here.

SPEAKER_01

And it hurt all the heartbreak or all the things that I took for heartbreak, but it was all just set up for this divine intervention, and this is a reminder of your self-love. This is a product that I utilize so often.

Meditation, QR Codes, And Launch Steps

SPEAKER_00

Like my bottles go empty so quick. Shit up, girl, I'm salty about my piece. Be still, I use that so fast. It's gone. I was trying to spray it all today. Like I got you. I got you. But I'm looking at a ritual right before my eyes as I look at the affirmation journal, the spray, and the pussy power candle. Like just thinking about tools that we could utilize with intention. I went back to page one. Oops, you knocked out. Am I back in? Yes. I went back to page one of the affirmation journal. And the very first affirmation for day one is, I am worthy of deep unconditional love. And you write it out five times and you say, How does this affirmation shift my energy today? And then it says, What action can I take today that aligns with this affirmation? And I went back and wrote a different answer today than I wrote when I did it last year. And the way, what action can I take today that aligns with this affirmation? Which the affirmation is I am worthy of deep unconditional love. So the action that I took was mirror work. I looked in my own eyes and I said this affirmation. And it made me really sit with the idea of what it is to be intentional enough to love yourself, to sit down with yourself and reprogram your thoughts. You have to to be based on love, inspiration, and transformation. So I made a like a commitment to get back to a place of sitting with this affirmation journal and promoting it because of what's inside of it. So I so apologize because I didn't mean to cut you off about the intention spray, because I don't believe you were finished with that. But my eyes kept looking at the affirmation journal, like, ooh, kit set intentional things. Like our self-care toolbox is lit.

SPEAKER_01

And it's already on the way, it's in progress. We've been wanting to put these kits together for a while, but we didn't have all the pieces. We didn't know how it was gonna come together. And it was just these little inklings that we've had all along this route of do this, create that, do this, and doing it in different pieces.

SPEAKER_00

And now it's like, oh, it's coming together. We're doing the work. We keep talking about a self-care course that stay tuned for it because we're gonna release it. But it's all happening in segments.

SPEAKER_01

Yes.

SPEAKER_00

So when it's time, we'll know.

SPEAKER_01

And this part isn't overwhelming because it's coming in these pieces of yep, this is perfect. All right, add this in. All right, you got this, I got that.

SPEAKER_00

And going back to the drawing board, you know. Uh-huh. Some things work in some seasons, and then it's a new season.

Craft Challenges And Wax Techniques

SPEAKER_01

It's a lot of recreating and knowing that you can pivot. Like for the sprays, there's a lot of different formulas that I've tried. There's a lot of different, you know, testing that has had to be done, a lot of uh label changing and finding out what works, what doesn't. But ultimately, ultimately, it all falls back to we know who we are and we know that all of this will come to us. Like there's times that we'll do it and we'll see that things are not working out, or like it's we're getting at the stopping point and or we're getting frustrated, and we know, all right, hands off. Yep, time to break this for now.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. And focus on things that are fun. Yes. When you do it from a place of fun and not out of obligation, or you feel like you gotta do it. Like it's such a different life as an entrepreneur, um, especially when it's your main thing. You really have to have a level of discipline, or you will be all over the place trying to touch everything. But I promise you, just because you can do a lot of things don't mean you should be doing that. Exactly. So you have to know your lane and when it's time for something, and then when it's time for something else. So my intention is to give this full focus because I really believe in it. Like, who knew? Something that the old Tanisha, the church Tanisha would have never done nothing like this.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Would have been embarrassed or ashamed. But this is a literal part of the body that creates life. Literally. Why are we ashamed of that? Like, why can't we say it with confidence?

Love On Yourself Intention Spray

SPEAKER_01

Because the patriarchy taught us that we have to be afraid of it or shun it, and it's not appropriate or ladylike. Yeah. But this is literal femininity. Yeah. And we're creating rituals. And again, rituals are just repeated steps and actions that you do for this feeling, this healing. You're gonna talk about being able to spray something that's gonna give you a sensual journey and give you these affirmations that you can say, that you can write that are gonna allow you to take action towards yourself, your goals, your love, what it is that you truly desire. You'll be able to light up this candle, listen to these meditations, listen to the affirmations. There's so many ways that we are going to speak to your nervous system. Someone said that to us in a luncheon that we went to recently, that they speak to the nervous system, and that stuck with me. And the way that we wish to continue to show up for you is that we're speaking to your nervous system. That you not just hear these words, that you feel them, that you understand that this isn't for play play. Like we are having so much fun with what we're doing, but we're so very serious about it. Yes, we're talking pussy talk, but this is real divine femininity. We are being living, living, breathing divine feminines with everything that we create that we are birthing. Yes. It's literally what we do.

SPEAKER_00

Yes. I want you to call your power back to you. I just feel like somebody needs to hear this and know this. That that energy that you put out all over the place, whether it's to kids, to a job, to a spouse, to your family, to being a caregiver, call all your energy and your power back to you right now in this moment. You need that energy to create. So, right now, in the name of all that is, I call on this person, whoever is listening right now, in this moment that needs that energy reroute, that needs to feel that jolt of creativity, that jolt. Of unconditional love that is always being provided in every moment by source. I pray that they feel that energy right now and that they call their power back to them and that they know that they're the manager of their vibration and don't give it out so easily. And so it is, and so it shall be. Those mouth minutes. Like, all right, we running out. We done good, y'all. We didn't set up and took a day and carved out a couple of hours of time block to knock out three podcasts.

SPEAKER_01

And we did it, y'all. More to come. We've got a lot of things that are so happily on our plate, and some things coming that we don't even know yet. Like from all these episodes, we don't even know how many of you guys are gonna be booking parties. I know it's gonna be an amazing year for parties, for in-home things, for a lot of team building, a lot of things that the divine feminine has been asking for, and we are delivering. Yes, yes. Do you know that everything that you do, that you say, that you think is because there's also someone else that needs what it is that you're going to have or that you have already within you. So there's a call, and you're just gonna keep following it. Yes. And keep creating and doing and being who you are, stand in your power. Because I know you listened to Tanisha, and I know you called your power back. So stand in it now.

SPEAKER_00

Yep. Yep. Preserve it, cultivate it. It's yours. Yes, it is yours. And the more you dig into that self-love, the more you really understand what it is to be in your own energy.

SPEAKER_01

Yes.

Finding Self-Love After People-Pleasing

SPEAKER_00

Start with the little things. It doesn't have to be nothing major. It could be sitting in silence for two minutes before you go to bed or when you wake up in the morning. Start with small things. Rubbing your feet when you put your lotion on, rub your feet with intention and say, I love my feet. It's the little small things over time. Before you get in the shower, take a minute to look at yourself in the mirror. Look in your own eyes and say, I love you. You the bomb. There's nobody like you. Because it's true. There is nobody like you at all. You are needed. You are loved. And you are one of one. I always tell Naomi before she goes to school, you are the one and not the two. And so now she says the second part. I'll be like, okay, you're the one. And she says, and not the two. So you are the one and not the two. Nobody can do you like you. Ever. So do it with love, baby. Because we need it. These times we're living in, we need your love, we need your light, we need your gift, we need your creativity. We need those words you've been sitting on. Come up off of it. Some of you know that you're supposed to be doing something and you're getting in your own way. And I'd like you to stop that. Stop it. Just do it. What else do you have to lose? It is 2026. Let's stop playing around with our talents. Exactly. Your gifts are meant to be shared.

SPEAKER_01

You wouldn't have them if you weren't supposed to share it.

SPEAKER_00

Mm-hmm. I know small, I'm telling you those small nudges. Like, I need to start baking cakes. Bake the cakes.

SPEAKER_01

Like the lion cunt. She didn't think that was gonna come. That was something that she did to spite someone.

SPEAKER_00

Yep. And it turned out to be a hit. And it was a hit. Whole time you got a hit on your hands and you sitting on it. That's how I felt about these candles. It was such a small, subtle thought that came over me. Like, what if this is the breakout candle that launches everything? And now all of a sudden you're making all these pussy candles. Yep. Wouldn't have never seen that coming. So yeah, it's a movement. It's a vibe, it's a frequency. Get in tune, baby. Ah, pussy power.
