Today, we’d like to introduce you to Dina Gosselin.
Hi Dina, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start, maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers.
Since 2018, Be The Light Malas has inspired thousands to attract what they’re seeking through the power of semi-precious gemstones. Each piece is handcrafted with natural healing crystals from Mother Earth, such as Rose Quartz, Amethyst, Smokey Quartz, and more. In addition to being beautiful pieces of jewelry that suit many modern styles, our clients have benefited from these truly unique pieces that help balance the mind, body, and spirit.
It all started with the desire to calm the anxious mind and facilitate meditation and mindfulness. I looked for a mala that could help me recite a mantra to calm my mind while matching my modern spirituality and style. After shopping around unsuccessfully, I decided to make my own. The feel and healing properties of real gemstones are utterly magical. While my fingers knot each stone to create your malas, it’s our journeys symbolically weaving us together that I see as a privilege of a lifetime.
We now offer various collections beyond malas. Our bestsellers include bracelets, chokers, and necklaces that layer beautifully and are eye-catching on their own. Each piece comes with a tag that explains the healing properties of the specific gemstones, making them ideal for thoughtful gifts or wedding favors.
You can discover our pieces online at bethelightmalas.com and in many resorts and spas across South Florida, including Ritz-Carlton Fort Lauderdale, The Boca Raton, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, 1 Hotel South Beach, Carillon Miami, and numerous others.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Of course, I’ve experienced the highs and lows of owning a business.
Jewelry is very seasonal, so it’s been essential to manage cash flow, consistently hustle, hire talented individuals in the areas I lack expertise, and not be afraid to try new things and take risks. It’s been essential to look for ways to evolve and grow every year.
Thanks – so, what else should our readers know about Be The Light Malas?
Be The Light Malas handcrafts high-vibrational, authentic gemstone jewelry that inspires you to breathe deeply, love fiercely, and lead with joy and peace in your heart. Each piece is carefully designed here in the U.S., purified and saged, and ready to be activated with your specific intention.
We’re a women-owned business and a proud mother-daughter duo based in Pompano Beach, Florida. We sell our pieces online at bethelightmalas.com and in over 50 spas, resorts, boutiques, and yoga studios across the U.S. You’ll also cultivate good karma with us, as a portion of each purchase goes towards the American Lung Association.
What would you say has been one of the most important lessons you’ve learned?
Tenacity, persistence, and authenticity have all been key to pushing the needle forward. I used to get really disappointed and harp on any kind of loss or seeming failure. I remind myself that when one door closes, 10 others will open.
