S4/Ep18 Relationships As Mirrors, Nurturing Authentic Business Growth & Healing Through Beadwork with Bahati Benjamin

Jul 10

Today I’m joined by Bahati Benjamin — researcher, creative, mother, wife, and founder of Balebé, a beading studio and mindfulness practice centered around healing, culture, and intentional community.

Together with Bahati, we talk about the messiness, mystery (and magic too) of change in partnerships and career. From the power of possibility thinking to letting go of expectations, Bahati shares her evolving relationship with entrepreneurship, what it means to surrender control, and how building Balebé was never in her original plan, but unfolded into something even better than imagined.

Bahati also opens up about her decision to return to full-time work while continuing to nurture Balebé, and how she's learning to trust divine timing, embrace duality, and release the pressure to prove herself.
