At Happy Wax, we believe in the power of scent to transform spaces and elevate experiences. But what happens when you combine the magic of fragrance with the profound wisdom of mindfulness? You get something truly special.

We're thrilled to introduce you to Cathy Madeo, an internationally recognized yoga instructor, meditation guide, and the incredible force behind our new Mantra Collection. Cathy is the founder of Cathy Madeo Yoga, a global online yoga school that has educated and empowered thousands of yoga students and teachers worldwide. With over 20 years of experience, Cathy is renowned for her accessible approach to yoga, her deep knowledge of alignment, and her passion for empowering individuals to connect with their inner strength and peace. As a single mom and a thriving business owner, Cathy embodies the balance and intention that lies at the heart of the Mantra Collection, living by her school's mission to transform lives through the practice of yoga.

We sat down with Cathy to dive deeper into her journey, her philosophy, and how scent intertwines with her daily rituals. Get ready to be inspired!

Scent and the Sacred Space

For Cathy, scent isn't just an afterthought; it's a foundational element of her practice. "Having aromatherapy sets the tone of my practice," she shares. "Setting up my space for yoga and meditation feels like a ritual. It helps create a calm environment for better focus, clarity, and joy."

This deep appreciation for how aroma can anchor a moment is precisely why Cathy was the perfect partner for our Mantra Collection. She intuitively understands how to choose scents that align with her inner state. "I tend to choose scents that help me balance what might feel out of balance," she explains. "For instance, this morning I felt emotional so I used the 'I Am Grounded' melts to make me feel more secure." But it's not always about correcting an imbalance; sometimes it's about amplifying a feeling: "Sometimes I like to enhance more of what I'm feeling and I tend to gravitate towards 'I Am Abundant' or 'I Am Love' to keep the high-frequency vibes going."

Bringing Mantras to Life Through Scent

The heart of this collaboration lies in pairing powerful affirmations with perfectly matched fragrances. When Cathy first experienced the Mantra Collection scents, she was captivated. "I couldn't believe how each scent paired so perfectly with their corresponding affirmations. It was like the mantra coming to life through smell."

What makes these scents truly stand out in Cathy's eyes? "I love how each scent is distinct, yet they all have a soothing quality. I love that they are part of a collection! It's so fun as I set up the wax warmer or go to light a candle to ask myself, which affirmation would serve me in this moment? And there's one for each of my moods!"

Pockets of Peace: Cathy's Daily Rituals

In a world that often feels fast-paced and demanding, Cathy's approach to self-care is a beacon of wisdom. "My life as a single mom of 2 and a business owner is hectic with long stretches of time with no days off," she admits. Her solution isn't about finding large blocks of time, but rather embracing consistent, smaller moments. "I've found it's easier to take 30 minutes for myself here and there, than to take an entire day off. So, the best thing I've done for myself is to give myself pockets of self-care throughout every day!"

Her non-negotiable daily rituals include:

  • Morning Meditation & Journaling: "I habit stack with drinking my coffee."
  • Mid-Day Movement: Taking a break for yoga or a gym session.
  • Evening Salt Baths: "I'll light one of the Mantra Collection candles and do a meditation for a more restful night's sleep."

Advice for Your Journey

For those just beginning their yoga or mindfulness journey, Cathy offers encouragement and practical advice. "There are so many different styles and approaches, so expose yourself to many until you land on one that feels right to you," she advises. And perhaps most importantly: "Then, be patient and kind with yourself and enjoy the journey of Self-discovery."
