Running became her place of solace and reflection. What began as a few miles a week turned into fifty-plus full and half marathons. Somewhere between inking her soul on paper and pounding her soles on the pavement, Kimberly's love of paper and running collided. And that’s when the vision for Sole Inspired was born — a greeting card company for inspiring, encouraging, and empowering others to get up and go, live without regrets, never back down, and never give up. She truly believes the power of a written word of encouragement held in the hands of a weary soul can be the difference between defeat and deliverance.

About Nikki:

Nikki Love is an adventure runner and a motivator of dreaming big, taking action and achieving extraordinary goals.

Nikki turned 50 in 2017 and decided it was time to take her love for travel, marathon running, and cross-countr running to a new level. She is now on a mission to run across, around, or through as many countries that her feet can take her, bringing as many people as she can along for the run.

Her big adventures include running 63 marathons in 63 days through the UK, a craic of a 750 mile run around Ireland, a runcation through Malta and around Gozo, a jolly jaunt across the Netherlands, an extremely muddy and cow-pat laden run from top to bottom of Wales.

Driven by her curiosity to answer the question “I wonder if I can do that…” Nikki shares her adventures – the highs, lows, fun, tears and her experience of overcoming fears, doubts and obstacles as she navigates perimenopause – through her writing, speaking and film-making.

Her goal is to help women know and own their place and space in the world and to keep believing and backing themselves.
