Episode 106: Creating The Studio You Want To See with Sarah Levey

Sarah Levey is an entrepreneur, risk taker, and yoga’s newest mogul as the co-founder of Y7. Born in Michigan, Levey’s first inspiration of a powerhouse woman started with her mom who balanced family with the hustle of her demanding career. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin, snagging her first job, and inviting her boyfriend/now husband and co-founder to move with her, she wound up in NYC. Levey found herself wanting a more inclusive and free spirited environment from the yoga scene in New York, which pushed her to launch her now super successful business, Y7. In this episode, Levey lets us in on the sacrifices and learning curves of launching your own business, as well as how she has learned to embrace herself throughout the process. We’ll also hear from LIVELY Ambassador Abby Adesanya, founder and CEO of Novella. Abby’s YOLO moment inspires us to abandon fear and “take the leap” into your dreams. She says her moment began with sharing Novella with her Facebook and Instagram community. After numerous successful events and creating a booming community, her only regret is not sharing it sooner.
