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 is a lifelong storyteller and creative soul with a passion for people, ideas, and creativity. Her career, spanning decades in media and publishing, has been guided by her curiosity about human transformation. She has spent her life at the intersection of storytelling, psychology, and soul-searching, returning to stories as a compass to find meaning and come home to ourselves.
The idea for Enthusiasts of Life came from a simple but powerful realization: when you combine the energy of enthusiasm with the transformative power of storytelling, change happens. Ania’s mission is to build a vibrant community of readers and writers who believe that you can spread enthusiasm, one story at a time.
When she’s not immersed in stories, Ania finds enthusiasm in thoughtful space design, creating textured art, and indulging in the occasional perfect vanilla cheesecake.
With over fifteen years of experience in people-centered work, Sarah Furgala brings both technical expertise and deep compassion to the art of editing. She’s a quiet force behind the scenes – helping writers find the words when they feel just out of reach, and ensuring every story is treated with care.
For Sarah, words are the way how we connect, heal, and make sense of the world. Her editorial range spans emotionally complex narratives to lighthearted, joyful pieces, always with a focus on clarity, voice, and resonance. She sees editing as more than polishing prose; it’s about listening, uplifting, and helping each creator bring their unique voice to life.
Outside the editorial space, Sarah is a hands-on creative who loves building things from the ground up, whether it’s a loaf of fresh bread, a thriving vegetable garden, or a vibrant story. She believes in nurturing potential – in people, in words, and in ideas – and brings that philosophy to every collaboration.
A storyteller who speaks through visuals, Mikey Arnott turns imagination into art and art into something you can feel. With a background steeped in ’80s and ’90s pop culture and a lifelong love of drawing, Mikey’s illustrations are equal parts bold, quirky, and deeply human.
A proud member of the Batchewana First Nation, Mikey brings nature, spirit, and humor into everything he creates. His work includes the award-winning Spirit Bear, the playful The Amazing Adventures of Sisi the Mouse, and the wonderfully offbeat The Fruit Fly Must Die, proving there’s no story too big or too small for his imagination.
Whether designing characters, book covers, or wearable art, Mikey creates with joy and intention. At Enthusiasts of Life, he leads our visual storytelling with a signature style that transforms words into memorable, magnetic art.
Victor brings energy, curiosity, and creative rhythm to everything he touches – from voiceovers to storytelling strategy. As the voice behind much of Enthusiasts of Life (and the mind behind our social content), he helps shape how our stories are heard, seen, and felt.
With a background in communications, he blends presence with play – knowing that real connection comes from tone, timing, and heart.
When offline, he’s into lifting heavy things, racing fast things, and pampering his cats like royalty.
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.
Are you a visual storyteller, animator, voice actor, or content creator with a spark to share?
