Why I Started Run Your Life Magazine
When I started running 5K a day, my self worth grew. I started repairing the damage that was caused in my younger years, and my self confidence bloomed.
As I continued to get more into the running community, I started buying running magazines, looking for inspiration.
I’ve always loved magazines. I love sitting down with a good magazine, flipping through the glossy pages, and enjoying their contents.
There was just one problem…
None of the running magazines on the market felt relatable to me.
I couldn’t see myself in them. I couldn’t resonate or connect with the stories, because none of the stories were about women like me.
I had an idea of creating a magazine where the only contributors would be other women telling their raw stories, being their own authentic selves, and to represent the rest of us.
The writers in my magazine are real, and they write real stories, about their achievements in their own real bodies.
Most importantly, none of the stories are about weight loss.
They are about strength, resiliency, determination, self care, and accepting yourself for who you are in the present.
Even though I created it, the magazine is not about me. I’m just the vessel that brings women together, and provides the space for them to share their dreams, stories, aspirations, ideas and offerings.
Run Your Life Magazine is a 32 page high gloss, body positive, lifestyle and fitness magazine.
But it’s more than just a magazine, and it’s not even just about running.
It’s a community of uplifting women extending a support system to one another, and never letting go. It's about being brave, stepping out of your comfort zone, overcoming what you never thought you could, and pushing yourself to finish the race you started.
My greatest hope is that when you open the pages of Run Your Life Magazine, you see yourself - whomever that may be.
