FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Howell Entrepreneur and Storyteller Juliana Fox Competes for National Top Host Title as (re)claim Podcast Makes Its Debut

HOWELL, MICHIGAN | November 4, 2026 — Howell entrepreneur, storyteller, and podcast host Juliana Fox is competing in Colossal's national Top Host competition, an opportunity that could bring her passion for storytelling and human connection to a national audience.

Having successfully advanced through each round of the national competition thus far, Fox has reached the next significant milestone and is currently competing to secure a place among the Top 5 finalists in her group. Her continued advancement reflects the growing support of her community and the connections being made through her mission to amplify the power of storytelling.

The competition raises funds and awareness for the Ryan Seacrest Foundation through a grant from AIT. The national winner is slated to receive $25,000, a professionally produced six-episode podcast with iHeartRadio, and a guest appearance on On Air with Ryan Seacrest.

For Fox, the competition represents far more than a title. It is an opportunity to expand a vision that began in her own community.

Fox is the founder of (re)claim, a multigenerational gathering of women rooted in resilience, redemption, and reclamation. Created to provide a space where women across generations can share their experiences, (re)claim celebrates the power of storytelling to inspire connection, understanding, and transformation.

The inaugural (re)claim gathering took place on March 14, 2026, in Howell, Michigan, bringing together women from different generations to share their personal journeys and the experiences that have shaped their lives. Building on that first gathering, Fox is preparing for the second annual (re)claim event on Saturday, May 1, 2027, continuing her mission to create meaningful opportunities for connection through storytelling.

"I've always been fascinated by people's stories. I'm drawn to the beautiful, polished chapters, and also the somewhat chaotic, uncomfortable, heartbreaking, and transformational ones," says Fox. "Our stories matter, even the ones we wish had turned out differently. When we share them, we create ripples that can impact someone else's journey and remind each other that we're not walking this journey alone."

(re)claim: THE PODCAST Debuts November 5, 2026

What began as an intimate live gathering has evolved into a growing storytelling platform. On Thursday, November 5, 2026, Fox will officially debut (re)claim: THE PODCAST, expanding the conversation beyond the original women's gathering to welcome people of all genders, generations, and life experiences.

The inaugural podcast episode features Dorothy Elliott, a 76-year-old author and storyteller who also participated as a speaker at the first live (re)claim event.

Through candid conversations and personal storytelling, the podcast will explore the experiences that shape us, challenge us, and ultimately transform us. At its heart is the belief that sharing our stories creates opportunities for connection, understanding, and healing while reminding us that we are not navigating life's journey alone.

The podcast will be available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Expanding the Vision Through a•nu•yu

In addition to her work with (re)claim, Fox is the co-founder of a•nu•yu, a Michigan-based life-in-transition wellness brand she is building alongside co-founder Chris Smith.

The company is dedicated to supporting individuals as they navigate life's physical, emotional, and personal transitions through thoughtfully developed wellness products, meaningful experiences, and community connection.

The brand is preparing to introduce its first product, (re)claim: PM, a nighttime wellness ritual designed to support relaxation, rest, and restoration. With an anticipated product launch in early 2027, a•nu•yu represents another extension of Fox's vision to help people feel supported and connected through life's ever-changing journey.

While (re)claim and a•nu•yu are distinct initiatives, both reflect Fox's belief that life's transitions, challenges, and transformations can become opportunities for growth and connection.

A Local Story with National Possibilities

The Top Host competition offers Fox the possibility of expanding her message beyond Livingston County while supporting the Ryan Seacrest Foundation's mission to inspire young people through entertainment and education.

"To have the opportunity to share more stories, reach more people, and create meaningful connections on a larger scale would be incredible," says Fox. "That's what this journey is really about for me. Our stories matter, and so does the impact they can have when we're willing to share them."

As Fox prepares for the podcast debut, the second annual (re)claim gathering, and a•nu•yu's anticipated product launch, she continues to build on the belief that sharing our experiences can inspire meaningful change, both individually and collectively.
