Lourie Abadia discusses the internal struggles that hold women back from truly living their potential in their careers, and what it means to LEAD: unapologetically, on purpose.

Lourie Close-Abadia is the Founder of Living Up Close; an organization helping women and men to get confident in their own voice. She loves nothing more than helping others get truly excited in designing their own lives and opportunities.

Through years of research, focused effort, and the cultivation of varied and practical methods, Lourie has worked through her own narrative to transform her life from poverty and abuse to success, compassion, and agency.

When she isn't working you'll find her either finishing up her upcoming book, ‘Showing Up’ due to launch this summer, painting, or exploring one of the beaches or redwood trails of Northern California.
