Finding Joy in 2020 | A Chat with Sarah about New Motherhood & Bravery

by | Nov 12, 2020 | Parenting

I chat with Sarah Spiegal, founder and owner of Samudra Studio, and discuss what it’s like to parent a toddler this year and how she has flexed her bravery muscles this year.  

Sarah Spiegel Dunn is a mama, business owner, wife, and lover of yoga. She has had a long time love of building and supporting community and enjoys creating connection and transformation for individuals and groups through classes, workshops, transformational retreats, and trainings both locally and internationally.

She is the founder and owner of Samudra Studio, community-based yoga and meditation studios in downtown Saco and Biddeford. Sarah particularly loves the process of mentoring other yoga teachers through her one on one programs and supporting them in growing their own businesses and following their dreams.

In 2016, Sarah quit her 9-5 job to open Samudra Studio in Saco, which she has grown into a thriving community since then. 

After gaving birth to her son, Sarah  has enjoyed the journey into motherhood and learning to navigate being both a thriving, successful business owner and dedicated mama. When she’s not teaching yoga or spending time with her sweet family, you’ll catch her at the beach with her fur baby, Kenobi, and enjoying the incredible community of female business owners in Biddeford and Saco.

From Cooking Classes to Pandemic Food Delivery | Chatting with Kim from NYC

by | Nov 5, 2020 | Parenting

I sat down with Kim Calichio of The Connected Chef and talked about the changes that happened for her in Queens, NYC this year, from hoping to open her first brick and mortar kitchen to pivoting to providing food to thousands of families in need in her part of the city. 

The Connected Chef works with families to use food as a way to connect with one another.

Our children’s gardening and cooking classes and individual family programs both allow us to work with clients to problem solve the struggles of parenthood and food.

The results: Kids who feel empowered to make independent & healthy food choices and develop a natural respect for their environment and community; Parents who are able to take a breath and connect with their kids instead of engaging in the ever-present struggle of mealtime.
