Geleen Abenjoa: Owning a Business, Prioritizing Self-Care...

What this episode covers

This week on Keoni Chats: I sat down with Geleen Abanjoa, owner of Shop Halo Halo. Geleen was originally set for a career in nursing, but she made a bold pivot—moving to Oregon to pursue her passion for baking. We talk about the challenges of that life-changing decision, how her family supported her from afar, and the journey of turning her festival-based bakery into a brick-and-mortar shop. That shop became reality thanks to a unique partnership with a plant nursery owner—something I had to learn more about.➡️ Check out Shop Halo Halo’s website to see where you can grab their delicious pastries!
