Summary

Wow... this interview with MJ Day! Ever since I was a little girl, I admired the strong women who graced the most iconic publication there is... Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. What began as a magazine for men during the lull of sports in the winter season, became the epitome of strong, confident, and unstoppable women... for women. In 1964, the very first issue came to life and since then, SI has released an issue every year with women who are breaking barriers and showing that beauty has no boundaries.

SI has been a place where women are not only celebrated... they are given a voice and a place to own their body, their story, and represent the unrepresented.

Sports illustrated is legendary... and there’s a legend behind it. And she’s today’s guest on the Podcast!

The Deputy Editor MJ Day is here to share her story of how she landed the job, how she leads with compassion, and tons of surprises and behind the scenes stories. I can't wait for you to hear from her. She's one of the most special humans I've ever had the joy of working with. She has dedicated her career to empowering women and her heart expands with everyone that she meets. MJ is truly one of a kind...

Thank you to MJ, Janine, Jo, Margo, Emily and the entire team for opening up your arms and welcoming me into the SI Family!

0:00.0	Welcome to the Live Beautifully Podcast. I'm Katrina Scott. I'm a mom, a passionate female
0:10.2	founder, and a creative brand builder. In the last 15 years, I've been everything from
0:14.7	a personal trainer to a Forbes featured entrepreneur, a New York Times bestselling author, and the
0:20.5	co-founder of the leading fitness empire toned it up. And with that comes CEO, late-night
0:26.4	copywriter, creative director, social media expert, and of course, the most important job to
0:31.6	inspire creativity, an office intern running out for coffee and donuts for the dream team. I'm humbled
0:38.2	and so grateful for my journey so far, and I can't wait to write new chapters with all of you.
0:42.8	Creativity, success, and making your dreams come to life takes passion, commitment, and a
0:49.6	deep, deep love. And love is fostered and grown through deep connections and purpose, and we're
0:55.7	going to do just that together. From personal life stories to thoughtful conversations with the most
1:01.4	inspiring guests, and ask me anything of the episodes, my hope is the show will ignite your
1:07.8	creative brilliance so you can flourish and live beautifully.
1:15.2	Okay, deep breath. I am literally shaking. If you told me I would be reporting this episode 15
1:21.4	years ago, 10 years ago, or even a year ago, I don't know if I would have been able to believe it.
1:26.2	Ever since I was a little girl, I admired the strong women who graced the most iconic publication

1:37.6	winter from men became the epitome of strong, confident, and unstoppable women for women. In 1964,
1:45.5	the very first issue came to life, and since then, SI has released an issue every year with women
1:51.2	who are breaking barriers and showing that beauty has no boundaries. SI has been a place where
1:57.4	women are not only celebrated, they're given a voice and a place to own their body, their story,
2:02.5	and represent the unrepresented. From pioneering showcasing diversity and inclusivity in their pages
2:09.3	to tackling ageism, body image, the METU movement, and featuring everyone from athletic to transgender
