What do you listen to while you work?

When I’m deep into my work at home—whether I’m crafting candles, writing, or just keeping life in motion—music and mindful videos play a big part in setting the tone. If I’m in a music mood, Gospel is my go-to. There’s something powerful and grounding about melodies that speak to the soul. It lifts me up without pulling me away, allowing my spirit to stay engaged and my hands to keep moving.

But most days, it’s YouTube that becomes my background companion. I gravitate toward creators who share their candle-making journeys, those who speak with spiritual intention, and voices that soothe me rather than distract me. I’ve learned that it’s all about finding content that doesn’t demand my eyes—because once I start looking up at the screen, I lose my flow.

Listening without watching has become a skill. It allows me to stay rooted in my tasks while still filling my space with inspiration. There’s a special kind of harmony in hearing someone speak from the heart while your own hands are busy with purpose. That’s how I stay connected. That’s how I stay focused.
