Episode Synopsis
After experiencing burnout and frustration with the state of American healthcare as a nurse, Geleen, owner of “Shop Halo Halo” turned to baking to relieve stress and found solace in recreating traditional Filipino treats. As she shared her creations with friends and family, word quickly spread about her delectable desserts. Soon enough, Geleen's hobby turned into a full-fledged business venture. However, despite the success of Shop Halo Halo, Geleen's journey wasn't without its challenges. She had a difficult relationship with her parents growing up because they wanted her to pursue the more stable career. She also struggled with her identity as a Filipina-American. In her spare time, Geleen volunteers for the Foundation for Philippine Progress and collaborates with other powerful women as a founding member of Gabriala Portland. 🎤ALL LINKS BELOW 🎧 YouTube: https://bit.ly/3g0qe2g Apple: https://apple.co/34KNRa2 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2S9eQJx RedCircle: https://bit.ly/3yZWX0m Instagram: https://bit.ly/2SW06Oc Facebook: https://bit.ly/3x0QLDP 🔻 Connect with Geleen 🔻 Gofundme: https://www.gofundme.com/f/halohalo-bakeryfund Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shop_halo_halo Please share and subscribe.
