Theresa Cangialosi was drawn to essential oils in the 1980s, long before they were readily available in the United States. She was one of the first people to start an aromatherapy bar in the U.S. and has had some iteration of this type of retail space for more than 30 years.

Today, SoBotanical, Theresa’s aromatherapy apothecary in Baltimore, has two retail locations and a warehouse; carries essential oils, as well as its own skincare, haircare, and specialty lines; and offers education and events on a variety of topics related to aromatherapy.

In this episode, Theresa talks about:

Her connection to essential oils, what it was like being one of the first people in the U.S. to open a business that focuses on aromatherapy; and how her business has evolved over more than three decades;

The benefits of essential oils, particularly during end-of-life care;

What she wishes she knew when she started her business;

Her advice for other small businesses owners (hint: don’t let the need for perfection keep you from getting your thing out there); and much more.

Nearly a decade ago, Heidi Shenk, a middle school teacher in Baltimore City Public Schools at the time, began illustrating at night as a way to relieve stress after long days in the classroom. She opened an Etsy store for her greeting cards and other stationery-type products and got her big break when a major retailer ordered 2,000 of her cards. This made Heidi think that her part-time side hustle could actually become her full-time business. She left teaching in 2013 and began working on Row House 14 full-time.

In this episode, Heidi talks about the highs and lows from her career in teaching, how she got into design and her first shop on Etsy, and that big break that pushed her to leave her teaching position and focus on Row House 14. She’ll also touch on how she decided on the style for her cards (often funny + drawing on what’s relatable; see her social distancing card line), where she gets inspiration for new designs, and how she began working with wholesalers/retailers, and her successes and challenges that have come with launching and running her business.

This is the second episode in a series highlighting small businesses in Baltimore. To find more amazing small businesses in this city, check out Made in Baltimore’s business directory.

Mentioned in this episode: * Row House 14 – Check out Heidi’s line of Valentine’s cards in particular for the upcoming holiday * Zoe & Co. Candle Company – Sneak peek at the next episode! These candles + Heidi’s cards/products would make a great gift for loved ones.

Chef Davon Pulliam had his first taste of kombucha at an early morning farmer’s market in Baltimore about five years ago. He began making his own kombucha as a hobby, then opened his business three years later. Tortuga Kombucha offers several varieties of kombucha that showcase the teas' natural flavors, including Oolong, Jasmine, and Genmaicha. Today, Davon, who has left the restaurant industry for the moment, runs his business while taking care of his young daughter.

In this episode, Davon talks about his experiences as a culinary school student and a chef, how his goal-oriented nature propelled him to be a sous chef by age 25 and a chef by age 30, how he built Tortuga Kombucha and why he decided to highlight the flavors of the teas he uses in his products, and how he is shaping his business to represent what is important to him, including moving at a slower pace (hence the "Tortuga" in his business name) and taking time for loved ones.

The We Built This Life podcast has been around for one year! (Plus a few months, but that's a small detail...) When I started this podcast in May 2019, my goal was to complete 10 episodes. And in May 2020 I reached that goal. I’m calling this collection of episodes “Season 1” this, Episode 11, celebrates the 10 stories told so far. The first six lessons come from the amazing guests who have been on this show, and the next four lessons come from my own experience starting something new (and even though this new thing for me is podcasting, I think the lessons could apply to anyone starting something new, whether it be a business, program, or something else entirely). If you’ve never listened to We Built This Life before, this episode can also serve as a brief summary of sorts of the first season.

Lessons From This Episode: 1. It’s okay to pivot your career (and pivot it back again). 2. Be honest with yourself about how you feel about money and what it means to you so you can set goals accordingly. 3. Trust your intuition. 4. You can build a business with kids at home. 5. You also can build a business with limited time (even though the progress might be slower.) 6. When you hit roadblocks in your business, try making a little tweak and things might fall into place. 7. Get more mileage out of work you’ve already done. 8. Know yourself and design your business around that. 9. Don’t take anything too personally. 10. Set goals for your season of life.

Guests Who Have Been on the Show: * Episode 2 – Ryan Sullivan, Realtor with ExecuHome Realty * Episode 3 – Mercedes Lyson, Beauty Journalist at L’Amour et la Musique and Podcast Host at Your Purpose is Beauty.

More than a decade ago, Kenny Yee would often wander the streets of Chelsea in New York City, drifting in and out of galleries to look at art. This is where he learned about color, form, and texture. Then he’d go back to his basement apartment in Queens to paint. He had a side hustle of sorts then, selling his work to several collectors in New York. Now he lives in Baltimore and works full-time as an admissions counselor, but he still considers himself a serious painter and makes time for this practice.

In this episode, Kenny talks about his early days as an art educator and a painter in New York and Baltimore, how his style has evolved, the influence that kids’ art has had on his own work, and whether he’ll eventually have a desire to make his painting practice into something more or whether doing something he loves is fulfilling on its own.

Mentioned in this episode: * Kenny Yee’s website (see his paintings here) * Church Street School for Music & Art in New York * Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore * School 33 Art Center in Baltimore (galleries and studio space) * The John Fonda Gallery at Theatre Project in Baltimore

Astrologer Adam* Elenbaas and Clinical Herbalist Ashley Litecky Elenbaas started dating in September 2011. Three months later, they decided to go into business together. Based in the Washington, D.C., area, Sky House Yoga encompasses astrology services (readings, certification courses, and private apprenticeships), herbalism offerings (private consultations, an apothecary with more than 300 herbs, and an herbal apprenticeship program and teaching garden), and until recently yoga.

In this episode, Adam and Ashley talk about their early work and experiences that led them to their current careers, how they met and decided to work together, and what they do as a professional astrologer and a clinical herbalist. They also touch on how they have learned over time to define their different relationships as a couple and as business partners; how they made the difficult decision to close their yoga studio, which had been the anchor of their business in the beginning; and how it felt after committing to less traditional careers on their own to find someone else on a similar life path.

*Since recording this episode a couple of months ago, Adam Elenbaas’ guru in the Bhakti yoga community gave sAdam a new initiated name, which is Acyuta-bhava Das (pronounced Ah-chew-ta baa-va Das). I refer to him as “Adam” in this episode for continuity, but he has been transitioning to his new name (or Acyuta for short) in his astrology videos and communications.

Mentioned in this episode: * Sky House Yoga’s clinical herbalism offerings * The Nightlight Astrology School * L’Amour et la Musique on YouTube (Mercedes studied astrology with Adam and connected us! Find her podcast, “Your Purpose is Beauty,” on your favorite platform.) * Video about Adam’s new name, Acyuta bhava-Das

Six years ago, Emily Silverstein was a barista at Starbucks (having stepped down from her role as store manager after having her first child) who made her own skincare products at home. One day, while talking to her husband, Cory Silverstein, about how they were going to balance work and daycare with their new baby, Emily suggested listing her products on Etsy. This was the start of her company, Urban Oreganics, which makes beauty, skincare, haircare, and personal care products. Today, Cory also works with the business, which has become the sole income for the Silverstein family.

Emily’s story touches on the origins of Urban Oreganics, what it is like working with her husband and how they run a business together while their kids are at home with them, how she has made a commitment to reducing waste and minimalism for her family and her business, and how she looks at the cost vs. other potential benefits gained when making tough decisions about Urban Oreganics.

Mentioned in this episode: * Urban Oreganics Bare Cleansing Grains (also available in detox variety) * Urban Oreganics Facial Cream (my first product!) * Urban Oreganics Brush Cleaner * Urban Oreganics Rosewater Toner * Urban Oreganics Products (beauty/skincare, bath/body, personal care, and more) * Blue Jeans Go Green Denim Recycling (partners with Madewell, J.Crew, others to recycle denim) * H&M Garment Collecting * Lego Struggles to Find a Plant-Based Plastic That Clicks, The Wall Street Journal(latest story I found on plant-based Legos) * The Nugget, the Original Play Couch * Urban Oreganics VIP Facebook Group
