Miami, FL (1888PressRelease) May 25, 2025 - In a powerful and inspiring episode of Empire Is The Way, host Steve Santacruz welcomes Laura Faith, an Army veteran, ICU nurse, WBFF fitness competitor, and Med Spa entrepreneur, who candidly shares her transformative journey from military service to modeling, healthcare, and personal empowerment.

Laura’s appearance marks one of the most emotionally resonant and motivating episodes of the podcast to date. She discusses her time in Afghanistan, how joining the Army helped her reclaim her athleticism, and the mental toughness she developed through both military life and competitive bodybuilding. Her story highlights how discipline, purpose, and intuition can carry someone through extreme life transitions.

The episode also touches on the challenges of preparing for fitness competitions, including Laura’s strategic management of training around her menstrual cycle, her commitment to precise nutrition, and the emotional resilience needed to step on stage. She credits her coach Omar’s structured, military-like coaching style for helping her push past limits.

Laura does not shy away from personal topics either. She gives honest takes on the superficial Miami dating scene and what she values in a partner: strong morals, family values, and lifestyle alignment. She also opens up about her experience in therapy, managing anxiety, and why she’s committed to remaining grounded in a flashy city.

Beyond fitness and military life, Laura is making her mark in aesthetics. She shares insights about running her Med Spa, offering Botox, fillers, IV therapy, and how she educates her audience on safe aesthetic practices. Her future goals include expanding her business and continuing to use social media and podcasting to inspire others.

Steve Santacruz, founder of Empire Ink tattoo studios and host of Empire Is The Way, praised Laura’s strength and authenticity, stating, “Her story is exactly what Empire is about—resilience, transformation, and building something powerful from within.”
