“Candle Blowers” and why you should avoid them in your life

Take a Pause with Varun Duggirala

09-05-2022 • 4 mins

When you’re your best version, the light inside you shines at its brightest. In her book Atlas of the Heart, Brene Brown describes it as having a candle within us that represents our light. This light is what makes us who we are. When it shines brightly, we shine. How do we keep that light shining? And how do we make sure we protect and nurture that light in others? Varun talks about the importance of the light and how not to be a candle-blower who takes the light out of other people’s lives.
