This week on the Beats & Balance Podcast, host Tinora Locke-Terrefe sits down with Jenna Pantin Bermudez, founder of Chaconia Candles — a sustainable wellness brand inspired by her Trinidadian roots and love for Caribbean culture.

After more than 18 years in corporate marketing, communications, and DEI leadership, Jenna made the bold transition into entrepreneurship — building Chaconia as a bridge between cultural heritage, mindfulness, and mental wellness.

Through her handcrafted, eco-conscious candles, Jenna invites people to slow down, breathe, and experience a sensory escape to the Caribbean. Beyond products, Chaconia offers free wellness services like yoga, meditation, and sound baths to ensure that healing and mental health resources are accessible to all.

In this inspiring conversation, we explore:

• The journey from corporate life to creative entrepreneurship
• Sustainability, safe products, and community-driven impact
• The role of cultural storytelling in wellness
• Building generational wealth and teaching children about entrepreneurship 🌍
• Making wellness accessible and authentic, not exclusive

Jenna reminds us that authenticity, cultural appreciation, and community care are at the heart of true success.
