In this empowering episode of The Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam Vohra sits down with Laura Sabia, a powerhouse entrepreneur and quiet force in Fairfield County’s lifestyle and wellness community. Laura is the founder of Emboss Life, a mindset and business mentorship platform for female entrepreneurs. She’s also the owner of multiple Pure Barre studios, the Editor-in-Chief of Greenwich Lifestyle, Darien & New Canaan Lifestyle, and Upper Westchester Lifestyle magazines—and the author of You Can Thank Me Later: Startup Secrets I Wish I Knew.
Laura shares her inspiring journey from a blue-collar upbringing in Rhode Island to becoming one of the most connected and respected business leaders in the region. Her story is one of creative problem-solving, resilience, and value-driven leadership. In this episode, you’ll hear how she bootstrapped her first brick-and-mortar studio, turned a business setback into a media empire, and built an ethos around trust, delegation, and purpose-aligned growth.
Together, Adam and Laura explore what it really means to live in your purpose—without the need for spotlight—and how intentional leadership can quietly build empires.
