Living her soul’s purpose, inspirational magazine publisher, speaker and conscious entrepreneur Linda Joy is dedicated to inspiring women to live deeper, more authentic and inspired lives. She is a passionate advocate for leading, encouraging and inspiring women to rediscover and reconnect with their inner wisdom while providing them with the tips, the tools and the inspiration to do so. 

In her twenty year journey from single welfare mother to award-winning entrepreneur, Linda knows first-hand the power of passion, courage, faith and perseverance in overcoming obstacles to achieve your dreams. Her personal journey encourages and inspires other women to believe in themselves and the power of their dreams and to show them that anything is possible.

Linda launched Aspire Magazine in 2005 to inspire women to live deeper, more authentic and inspired lives. With no publishing experience Linda jumped in with both feet and brought the magazine to life from concept to first issue in less than eleven weeks. Aspire Magazine is now a well-respected brand in women’s inspiration and is reaching women across the world with six interactive, digital issues per year. She credits Aspire’s rapid growth to her collaborative business model that she calls “The Feminine Conscious Business Model for Abundant Success” based on the five core principles that she operates from: Relationships, Collaboration, Intention, Service and Abundance. With the launch of Aspire’s “Mission to Inspire 100,000 Women” campaign, Aspire Magazine has committed to giving away 100K free one year subscriptions to women across the globe over the next year.

Her new anthology, titled A Juicy, Joyful Life: Inspiration from Women Who Have Found the Sweetness in Every Day will be released in September 2010.

“If in sharing my life lessons and experiences I can inspire even one woman to BELIEVE that she too can overcome any obstacle, then how can I possibly look back with regret on ANY of my life experiences? I believe it is in the sharing of our stories that we give others the power, inspiration and encouragement to persevere.” 

Linda has been featured in both regional and national publications, and has been featured on NBC for her passion and commitment to overcoming obstacles in order to achieve her dreams, and for her dedication in reaching out to women and assisting them in achieving theirs. She has been an inspirational and motivational speaker at colleges and women’s groups and continues to inspire others through her passion and energy.  www.Linda-Joy.com
