Summary

#14: In this episodes, I sit down with my friend, Sarah Larson Levey, the Founder + CEO of the badass yoga studio, Y7. We chat about about how and why Sarah started Y7 and what motivated her to start her yoga practice. We touch on working a full-time job while also rapidly growing Y7 at the same time and when she transition to Y7 fully. Sarah and I dive into the backend of the business and her unexpected entrepreneurial path, her different approach to funding for Y7 and briefly working with her husband during a time of rapid growth. We then transition into Sarah and her husband's fertility journey and getting pregnant after 2 devastating miscarriages. Sarah shares how this impacted her relationship with her partner and what her pregnancy journey has been like over the past few months (she is almost 8 months pregnant now!). For more from Sarah, follow @sarah_ayako and for more on Y7, follow @Y7 Studio. Thank you Simple Mills for sponsoring this episode! They sell hands down the most delicious gluten-free and grain-free products and their almond flour baking mixes are the best. I share all of my favorites over here on my shop page. For more from me, head on over to @rachLmansfield and rachLmansfield.com. My cookbook, Just the Good Stuff is also officially in stores.

0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome back to Just the Good Stuff. I am your host, Rachel Mansfield, and I am so
0:10.7	glamorously sitting on the floor in my closet in my bedroom because we are weak. I don't even
0:19.1	know what week it is, maybe like four weeks into being
0:22.8	quarantined during one of the craziest things that we are all living through. I have Jordan
0:30.9	working in our bedroom. You have Ezra taking a nap right now and our 1,000 square foot apartment
0:37.4	is getting real tight, real fast,
0:40.6	but there's this weird part of me that's actually enjoying this family time,
0:46.5	um, extra time with Jordan and Ezra. And it's crazy to think that there is this pandemic going on
0:53.5	in the world. And I, it's scary and we don't
0:57.0	know how to react and besides to keep our distance and do what we can to keep our health in
1:02.9	order but it definitely has made me really shift my perspective on things and I'm even more grateful now more than ever for my health
1:13.2	and my family and my job and my brand and it sounds so cheesy and corny and whatever, but
1:20.5	I'm just sending all of the love to anyone who has been impacted from this pandemic. I, you guys are in my thoughts. Truly, I have been
1:30.1	talking to a lot of you through Instagram messaging, some of you who are laid off in your
1:35.7	jobs or your businesses aren't doing well. And I'm here to help. I'm here to support you.
1:40.8	I'm truly just sending you guys all of the love and best vibes during this time.
1:47.3	And I actually contemplated taking a break from the podcast for until like this kind of
1:54.6	died down a little bit. But and I did skip a week and I got so many inquiries asking if the podcast episode was coming out and my
2:03.3	heart was like breaking that I didn't edit this on time to share. So apologies for being a week
2:09.3	late. It's good to know that you guys are still downloading episodes and listening to them. That
2:15.6	means so much to me. I hope that this can help
