Today we’d like to introduce you to Jana Short.
Hi Jana, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
What began as a personal journey through illness became a global movement for holistic transformation. When I founded Best Holistic Life Magazine, my mission was simple: to give hope a platform. I wanted to connect real people and experts who were changing lives through wellness, mindset, and authentic storytelling.
That seed of hope grew into a community of over 2 million readers and a thriving ecosystem that now includes Ageless Living Magazine—a luxury lifestyle publication celebrating wellness and longevity at every age—and two chart-topping podcasts: Oh, My Health… There is HOPE! and Fine by Design.
Through these platforms, I’ve had the privilege of amplifying thousands of voices around the world—leaders, healers, and everyday heroes—each proving that healing, success, and reinvention aren’t reserved for the lucky few. They’re choices we make daily, rooted in courage and self-love.
Today, I continue to guide others to embrace their authentic selves, redefine success, and create a life that feels as good as it looks—one story, one conversation, and one inspired heart at a time.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Building Best Holistic Life and Ageless Living Magazine has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life—but it’s also been one of the hardest. Success looks shiny from the outside, but behind the scenes, I was learning how to keep up with rapid growth while protecting my health, my marriage, and my peace.
There were seasons when I pushed too hard, mistaking productivity for purpose. Times when my body whispered “slow down” and I ignored it. Learning to listen—to truly honor my own wellness the same way I encouraged others to—became my biggest lesson.
Now, I build with boundaries. I lead from rest, not rush. And I’ve learned that a brand built at the expense of your wellbeing isn’t sustainable—it’s a warning. My family, my health, and my joy are the real markers of success. Everything else flows from there.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?

Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?
For me, happiness always comes back to relationships. My family, my friends, my team, the incredible contributors and partners I’ve met along the way—they’re the heartbeat of everything I do.
Building Best Holistic Life and Ageless Living Magazine has given me the gift of connection on a level I never expected. Every conversation, collaboration, and friendship that’s grown from this journey reminds me why I started in the first place—to create a community rooted in authenticity, compassion, and shared purpose.
Those relationships light me up. They remind me that success isn’t measured by numbers or titles, but by the people who grow with you, believe in you, and keep showing up beside you year after year.
