I'm thrilled to share with you some exciting insights from my conversation, where I had the pleasure of interviewing Jana Short, the inspiring editor-in-chief of Best Holistic Life Magazine. 

Jana Short is not just the editor-in-chief of a magazine with over 1 million subscribers, she is a woman of purpose. Despite her busy schedule, she joined me on my podcast, and I couldn't be more thrilled. Jana's work has earned her numerous accolades, including being named one of the Los Angeles Women of the Year and the top influencer by Los Angeles Entrepreneur Magazine.

  1. The Power of Holistic Living: Jana's journey into holistic health began when traditional medicine failed her. She discovered a world of holistic approaches that brought her hope and a new perspective on life. Despite her medical diagnosis, she found a way to thrive and create meaningful memories. She emphasized the importance of mindset and the power of choosing happiness, regardless of external circumstances.
  2. Spirituality vs. Religion: Jana distinguishes between spirituality and religion, stating that she is spiritual rather than religious. She believes that spirituality is about how we show up in the world and the positive energy we project.
  3. The Importance of Self-Care: Jana shared her insights on self-care and the importance of saying yes to oneself. She believes that when we say yes to ourselves, we are actually saying yes to everyone else because we can only pour from a full cup. By caring for ourselves, we can show up better for others and make a greater impact in the world.
  4. Redefining Success on Social Media: Jana shared a valuable tip she implemented on the magazine's Instagram account. She removed all likes and comments because she wanted to focus on opening up conversations and connecting with her audience more deeply. This change relieved her of the pressure to seek approval from others and encouraged people to reach out to her directly with their questions and thoughts.
  5. Building Confidence: Jana reflects on the importance of daily working on confidence. She shares that confidence is something she needs to work on continuously.

I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have Janet on the show and for her contributions to the magazine. If you'd like to connect with Janet, you can find he
