  • EP - 77 The Carpenter vs. The Gardener: Unlearning Hustle Culture with | Ganiat
    Jun 18 2026

    What does it really mean to choose health as freedom? In this episode, Dr. Kristian Edwards sits down with Ganiat, founder of Eyi Dara — a Yoruba phrase rooted in the saying "health is wealth." A Nigerian-American entrepreneur, Ganiat shares her comprehensive view of health that spans the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual, and opens up about the messy, humbling journey of building a hair care brand from her kitchen with no formal beauty background. This conversation goes deep into mistakes as lessons, the dangerous mindset of "the carpenter" versus "the gardener," and the radical idea that rest is not the opposite of resilience — it's the foundation of it. A vulnerable, wisdom-packed episode about unlearning the hustle and remembering you are worthy simply by being.
