The Heart Behind the Flare

Positive Flare Gear started in the quiet spaces between caregiving and parenting — right here in Emery County, Utah.

In a season filled with appointments, long days, and the kind of tired that no amount of caffeine fully fixes, I realized something simple: 

Sometimes you don’t need motivation. You need a reminder.

A reminder to breathe.

To keep going.

To maybe drink the coffee while it’s still hot.

I built this brand to create what I like to call wearable energy — bold, honest pieces designed to help parents, caregivers, and everyday professionals feel seen.

Not loud positivity. Not fake-happy vibes. Not “rise and grind.”

Just steady encouragement — with a little spark.

Because here’s the truth:

A candle doesn’t lose anything by lighting another candle.

On the hard days, when your own flame feels small, a reminder can steady it.

And when you’re burning bright, you might be the light someone else needs.

I try to show up each day leaving things better than I found them. That's what this is about.

When you wear Positive Flare Gear, you’re not just wearing a shirt. You’re choosing to show up — even when it’s messy. You’re choosing to carry a little light into your day, and maybe into someone else’s too.

This is for the ones who:

- Keep going (even when they’d rather nap)

- Hold a lot (and occasionally drop a few things)

- Shine bright… and still need a snack

If that’s you — welcome. You’re in the right place.

Fuel your flare. Light another.
