Cyndi Ramirez is a founder, entrepreneur, dog mom, maker, brander, creator. As a Queens native, Ramirez grew up as a child actor and model finding herself acting in scenes with the likes of Lady Gaga on The Sopranos. After living the fast life as a 17 year old promoter and waitress, she realized that the nightlife scene and even acting was not her calling. After a bit of trial and error, Ramirez has become of the founder of Taste The Style, Chillhouse, and the face of some of our fave brands.
We’ll also hear from LIVELY Ambassador Alexandra Amarotico, Author of The Secret Joy of Hygge. Alex’s YOLO moment inspires us to grab onto opportunity and put everything we have into making a dream a reality. Her moment began with getting the opportunity to write her own book. Outside of work, she spent every bit of her time writing and rarely saw friends until it was finished. She says her next YOLO moment will be traveling again.

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.
