St Pete Soul

Where are all my yogis!? In today's episode I sit down and learn all things yoga with SunState Yoga owner, Carrington Kilgroe. SunState is not just another yoga studio. They offer a baptiste style yoga which focuses on power and flow of movement but more importantly, Carrington firmly believes in the power of community. Her hope is that everyone who practices at her studio would form a unique bond with the community of people around them, thus promoting empowerment, friendship, inspiration, and growth in their individual yoga journey. I personally was moved by her heart for the community that she calls home here in St Pete. Whether you are a yogi for life or a newcomer wanting to learn, SunState Yoga is the perfect place for you! You will fall in love with the energy of the place and Carrington herself.  Namaste, y'all!

**BONUS EPISODE** If you are a podcast nerd like me, you love it when you get to be the guest instead of the host! I had the privilege of being featured on my friend Stacy's podcast, Meet Us On Main Street. She and her co-host Tia have a similar format to St Pete Soul, where they feature Dunedin's local businesses. This is a fun little interview because you can get to know more about yours truly :) Happy Listening!

In Episode 4 of Season 2, I sit down with the owner of Neptune Flood, Jim Albert. Jim takes me through the process of how he started his business, his biggest challenges and talks about his passion for St. Pete! Who knew St Pete was a great spot for business start-ups?! Because Jim took the leap to build a business, it's now a fast-growing, nationally recognized company, offering flood coverage in 48 states including DC! And this was all born out of St Pete. 

At the time of this recording, it was earlier in the year and as you know the covid landscape keeps changing rapidly. You'll hear Jim talk about their new building which is now open for their employees and the restaurant concept on the bottom floor is officially open as well. I'll include a link to it below so you can also check it out. Be sure to listen to Jim's podcast too!

In Episode 3 of Season 2, I sit down with one of the owners of Cellarmasters Wine Bar & Bottle Shop, Ryan Rugg. Ryan and his business partner, Kory, have a passion for helping people discover natural wines, or minimal intervention wines. Ryan used to be a winemaker so he is great at educating people on the process and what natural wine really means. Their spot in the Edge District is super cozy and it makes you feel like you are chilling in someone's living room. You can go sit down and try wines you've probably never had before, and before you leave, go buy some bottles to take home for your next night in. I know you'll love it so go check it out!

Welcome to Season 2 of the St Pete Soul Podcast! Now, who loves animals? Who loves sweet treats? Well, I bet most of you love both! If so, I've got the perfect gal for you. Natalia Lima created Curious Cat Bakery to save animals! How might she be doing that with a bakery, you ask? In her own words, one cookie at a time :) She is committed to a 100% vegan bakery, but don't for one second let that fool you into thinking her treats aren't delicious. She has perfected her recipes so that they are just as tasty as anything else out there but also animal by-product free. I can vouch for it too because I've had plenty of samplings! Tune in to this episode to hear her story and how you can have some yummy snacks and save the planet all at the same time!

You can find her treats around town at places like Book + Bottle in the 600 Block of Downtown St Pete!

What happens when a savvy business woman finally opens up her dream store and cafe? It quickly becomes a local favorite! The Merchant is the perfect name for her shop as she features all local Tampa Bay artisans with a whole array of items from artwork to handmade soaps. She and her husband also opened up the Crislip Cafe earlier this year as a nod to the historic Crislip Arcade the store lives in.  The Merchant is practically oozing with classic St Pete charm! Shop local and go stop by today!

Introducing the fabulous owner of the best wine and bookstore in town, Terra Dunham. Book + Bottle is an ingenious concept! I mean who doesn't love wine and books! Put 'em together it just make sense! (Ha, sorry for the Frozen reference)! Terra carefully curates her shop to create a unique experience for her customers. She wants her customers to feel like they have found a sense of community there, and I can vouch for the fact that she has achieved just that. If you haven't been, you simply must check it out!
