How To Build a Blog You Truly Love was created by veteran blogger Liv Lane, who started her inspirational Choosing Beauty blog in 2006. Liv discovered the healing effects of everyday beauty – and everyday blogging – while recovering from postpartum depression and PTSD following the traumatic birth of her first son in 2003. Her blog – featuring daily photos and reflections of the beauty in her midst – quickly gained a global following and provided a springboard for launching her own motivational company – Choosing Beauty, Inc. In 2007, Liv left her corporate career in PR and radio promotions to focus full-time on her work as a blogger, speaker, artist, and radio host {Liv co-hosts Get Real, a popular and uplifting Saturday morning radio show on myTalk 107.1 in Minneapolis}.
Her background in broadcasting, public relations and blogging come in handy as Liv consults clients on “meaningful marketing,” from developing mom-focused social media content for a major global retailer to writing compelling radio copy for some of the largest food, entertainment and CPG brands in the U.S. Liv has been featured on hundreds of radio stations and in publications including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Jewish World Review. She is currently working on her first book.
Liv lives in Minnesota with her husband, Brad, their two young boys, one crazy dog and an army of invisible angels.
