reserved. I am the more outgoing. In many ways, we
are opposites that compliment each other in more
ways than one.
ME: How does that transfer to doing business
together? How did you know that this was a
compatible marriage?
Rhonda: I was simply obedient to the divine
guidance given that led me to seek her out as a
partner. I am thankful that it was accurate - though
nothing good comes easy (she says as she laughs
and gives Aisha a big hug). For me our differences
bring beautiful lessons of personal (spiritual), and
professional growth for both of us; compromise,
listening, sometimes following rather than leading,
acquiring new skills from each other, forgiveness and
understanding, as well as support, guidance and trust.
Ultimately, our differences bring a wonderful level
of complimentarity, which brings out the best in
both of us. With our shared vision as the focus,
we remain committed and steadfast.
Aisha: Yes, and with all of the personality
differences, when it boils down to it, Like
Rhonda eluded, spiritually we share very
similar beliefs and we honor that. That makes
our working relationship very compatible.
Honoring our beliefs -which sums up to we
are all one, varying reflections of each other
- requires respect and consideration to be at
the forefront always. Don’t get me wrong,
I’m certainly not implying that it is not a
challenge at times. But we both possess
the willingness and ability to work through
whatever professional differences arise.
ME: Tell us more about your business.
Rhonda: Last year, when Aisha and I
connected to discuss the possibility of
venturing into business together, we both
agreed that there was a passion to be apart
of the movement or force that affects
positive, lasting change here at home (in
Bahamas) as well as abroad. Initially my
thought was to expand on SEEDlings’ Place,
but then we decided to create something
new that we could both call our baby.
Aisha: Yes, so the idea of NaturaLife
The Whole Life Company was born.
When we were thinking of what we
wanted to do and how we wanted to do
it, it was very difficult to narrow in on
one particular thing. If you understand
wellness, you get the relationship
between all things. To offer a solution to
one problem while neglecting another can
still lend to a stressful situation. We knew
our ultimate goal had to be servicing the
whole being, the whole life.
Rhonda: Yes, this is why balance (Ma’at),
is integrally woven into all that we do.
We still have a lot of foundational work
to do, but we’ve used this past year as an
opportunity to feel out the market and get
our feet wet. Aisha is a Certified Holistic
Health & Nutritional Coach, as well as a
Certified Reiki Practitioner. She is also an awesome
health food/ vegan chef. I am a Certified Vegan
Chef and Certified Kemetic Yoga Basu (instructor),
so together, we bring a high level of expertise both
