We are an independent publisher and storytelling hub built around the energy of enthusiasm.
Enthusiasts of Life is an independent POD publisher, a community, and … a way of living. It speaks to those who feel deeply connected to the creative energy that moves through all things.
It’s for people who are lit up from the inside out, driven by something timeless and true, way greater than external trends.
The name might sound a little unusual, and that’s intentional. We chose “of” instead of “for” because our enthusiasm rises naturally, like breath from lungs or sparks from a fire.
It doesn’t come from chasing something outside ourselves but from tapping into the life force itself.
We align with Life—with a capital “L”—that animating force behind stories, art, healing, connection.
To be an Enthusiast of Life is to be in flow with that force, creating and living from a place of presence, curiosity, and inner fire.
When we follow it, we come alive. We act with intention and create with heart. We express our authenticity and, by doing so, signal to others that it is okay to do the same.
By following our enthusiasm we reclaim and embrace our full selves.
At Enthusiasts of Life, we believe in the transformative power of storytelling. Our mission is to amplify human stories, whether in writing, voice, and visuals.
Why? Because when we wrap our experience in a storytelling structure, we shift from being a victim to being a hero. And when we share our story with others, we hand them key to unlocking their power.
Every story of enthusiasm has the power to encourage authenticity, to ignite enthusiasm in someone else.
We built this space for the storytellers, makers, seekers, and feelers. For the enthusiasts of life who’ve been through a lot but never lost their wonder. Who are ready to tell their tales, even if they don’t know how.
Your experiences belong in the world. We are here to help you tell your story, and amplify your message, even “if your voice is shaking.”
We’d be delighted to sit with you for an interview, write a profile about you, or help you get your book published. We would love for you to stay in touch, and meet in person during our future meetups.
If any of this “sparks joy,” you’re already one of Enthusiasts of Life.
Behind every story and creation at Enthusiasts of Life is a group of people who lead with wonder.
Ania Bogacka is a writer, editor, and thinker with decades of experience in publishing, editorial, and content management. She is a lifelong storyteller and creative soul, fascinated with transformation and the human ability to overcome adversity.

Outside the editorial space, Sarah is a hands-on creative who loves building things from the ground up, whether it is a loaf of fresh bread, a thriving vegetable garden, or a vibrant story.

What Is “E of Life”? And what is its relationship to “Enthusiasts of Life”?
The short answer is that E of Life Media Inc. is the legal name behind the Enthusiasts of Life platform.
However, E of Life is much broader than a business name, it is our guiding philosophy and the umbrella for everything we do. While Enthusiasts of Life is the heart of our community, E of Life is the broader creative force that fuels it.
The “E” in E of Life stands for the many ways our inner spark comes to life.
It’s Energy, Excitement, and Enlightenment.
It’s Expression, Elegance, and Education.
These are the powerful forces that guide our work, whether we’re creating a podcast, a children’s book, or a deeply personal essay.
