Hey there! I’m Patricia, the heart and hands behind Intrepid Glow. My journey has been, well...let’s just say it's been a wild ride with all the twists, turns, and surprises life could throw at me. As a single mom raising three amazing kids, I've faced plenty of ups and downs—and yes, the challenges came in buckets, not drizzles. At one point, life threw me a double whammy: not only was I dealing with the daily juggling act of motherhood, but I also found myself caught in a series of narcissistic relationships that tested every bit of my spirit.

But here’s the thing: I refused to let those tough experiences define me. Instead, I used them as stepping stones to rise higher. Through some serious soul-searching and the support of my loved ones, I broke free, reclaimed my life, and decided to write a new chapter. Oh, and here’s a fun fact—I gained a little extra “baggage” along the way (about 85 pounds of it, to be precise!). I like to say I didn’t just gain a few pounds; I gained a new ZIP code! But you know what? My sense of humor and optimism stayed intact.

One day, as I stood in front of the mirror and barely recognized myself, I thought, “Alright, enough is enough!” That was the moment I decided to prioritize me. I committed to rediscovering my health, my happiness, and reconnecting with my faith and nature. And then, somewhere along this path, I stumbled upon a surprising little sanctuary: soap-making.

Soap-making started as a way to unwind and calm my spirit. Before I knew it, my kitchen was filled with fragrant creations, and I found peace in the process. Who knew that mixing oils, scents, and love into each bar could be so healing? What began as a simple act of self-care soon blossomed into something much bigger—and just like that, Intrepid Glow was born.

Intrepid Glow isn’t just a brand to me; it’s a celebration of resilience, inner strength, and the belief that we can always rise, no matter how many times life tries to knock us down. My hope is that each product I create inspires others to embrace their own light and power. Because if there’s one thing my journey has taught me, it’s this: our greatest transformations can come from the simplest, most unexpected places.

Thanks for being here and supporting my journey. Here’s to glowing through it all—one soap, one laugh, and one step at a time.
