About Leo Chrenko

I didn’t build a brand. I built a rhythm—and it changed everything.

Personal Story

I’m Leo.

I’m not here as an expert who’s figured it all out—I’m here as someone who’s walked through the chaos, the searching, and the slow rebuild.
I’ve always been curious. That curiosity led me into the kitchen as a chef, into the gym as a fitness coach, into books and research on habit change and mindset, and onto the meditation cushion when life asked me to slow down and look inward.

Over the years, I became a certified fitness professional, a certified meditation teacher, a nutritionist, and earned a graduate degree in economics. Not to chase titles, but to understand. To grow. To create a life I could stand behind—one that felt real and grounded.

When things felt heavy, I didn’t need more noise. I needed rhythm. Ritual. Simplicity. That’s when I started building Bean by Bean—not as a business, but as a way to hold myself through transition. A small step. Then another. And another.

Bean by Bean is now the foundation behind all of my work—from homes to journals to guided meditations and beyond. It’s how I live, how I parent, how I build.

If you’re in a place of rebuilding, expansion, or just trying to show up more fully—know that I’ve been there. This work is for us.
