Desirée Pais is the founder of BENSHEN.co, a platform that empowers women to unlock their personal power through access to wellness tools for the modern day human. BENSHEN is a true testament that you can live a healthy, spiritual life, and have fun at the same time - you don’t have to follow every rule and become a monk to lead a life of integrity and of your dreams. While this is Desirée’s company, her life could not have been more opposite from BENSHEN’s mission in her early years. Desirée wasn’t always a spiritual saint— it was in fact her struggle with living in extremes—struggling with an eating disorder, autoimmune, depression and chronic skin issues that pushed her to explore outside of her comfort zone. We discuss the toxicity of living in the extremes, engaging in mindfulness practices for one self vs. ‘because it’s what one should do’, romantic relationships and the misconception of things not working out because ‘you keep choosing the wrong partners; vs. ‘you didn’t choose yourself’.
