GET IT, GIRL! HEALTHY IS THE NEW BLACK!
The term ‘Girl Power" has been ingrained in our collective conscience since the ‘90s, but frankly, it's a
tad played out. The sentiment at the core still resonates, but the means by which we do it, has matured
to more – shall we say, adult – level. We, here, are fired up about the possibilities and encouraged by
the realization of female empowerment at home, in the workplace, and across the globe. What's not to
love about being confident, motivated, passionate agents for change, who conquer challenges, inspire
others through their words and their actions and create a movement like no other we've seen before
in modern times. Empowerment is no longer an idea; it's a lifestyle. It feeds into every aspect of our
lives, including how we take care of ourselves – inside and out. There's true beauty in living a healthy,
fulfilling, and a life rich with abundance.
This month, Healthy magazine is serving up its own powerful hybrid – our special women's issue.
(Hey, fellas, we're not knocking you. We love men, but it's high-time, we give the girls their due.) We've
filled this issue with our best-in-class health and lifestyle articles, including an interview about the
increasingly popular Gluten-free craze, featuring health and fitness guru Maria Gwen. Every page of this
issue is chock-full of information that pays homage to the rise of living a healthy lifestyle. Personally, I
live for anything that can help me accomplish my goals, live better, have a healthier state of mind, and
rejuvenates my body and soul. There's nothing wrong with seeking new ways of improving our lives and
upping our game, is there?
There's such a wealth of information to glean. I strive to learn it all, but in the meantime, I'm absorbing
the knowledge and putting my best foot forward to make it work for me. Whether it's climbing to the
top of your field, breaking the proverbial glass ceiling, or attempting something brand new, take some
inspiration from our experts and create the healthy and fun life you've always dreamed of. Now is the
time. We're rooting for you. You can do it! Get it, girl!
The wait is over. Dive into the May issue today and get ready to leap into your best days yet!
