Rise, Heal, and Grow with Leah M. Hill featuring Karina Bensko

On this episode of Rise, Heal, and Grow with Leah M. Hill, Leah sits down with Karina Bensko, CEO and Founder of CultureKrew, for a deeply human conversation about growth, grief, and building businesses that don’t lose their soul as they scale. Karina shares insights from her work as a People Systems Architect, guiding leaders through the “messy middle” of rapid growth with intentional culture, fractional leadership, and people-first systems that actually stick. Together, Leah and Karina explore why growth happens in stages, how grief can be a powerful catalyst for evolution, and what it truly means to honor the whole human at work—especially as a founder, parent, and leader redefining success on her own terms.
