Girl, do we have a special issue for you here! We all know that change is painful, uncomfortable, and something we resist tooth and nail. And yet if I don’t embrace change in my life, if I resist it and cling on to the old known structures and routines - however painful - then I am ultimately living a half-life, a pale shadow of a life.

So it’s time this month to join our fabulous experts and find out some of the ways we have been hiding from ourselves, resisting change - who knows how much excitement and fabulousness is awaiting us on the other side!

So I invite you to join our experts on a magic carpet ride to a better, more fulfilled, more enriched future.

First up we have new author and expert on assisting women through all the changes that life brings, Tricia Dycka, as she fesses up about her own journey through change has been scary but ultimately fulfilling, while fitness expert Fiona Compston holds our hands as we transition our fitness routines from cardio through to weight training - essential for women as they get older.

Next we find gorgeous soul Cat Muir talking us through our choices, taking responsibility for them and how this shift in perspective will catapult us towards unforeseen growth and opportunities. Our role model for healthy glowing niceness, Nathalie de Ahna, also shares her journey towards balance and the realisations and tools she used to get to a more balanced and far happier place in her life.

Our new contributor and intuitive coach Karen L. Winkelman shows us how resistance is causing us pain and missed opportunities, as well as sharing some practical tips on how to get around it, while executive dating expert Samantha Jayne discusses how to improve your dating approach - after all it all starts with you!

Fitness guru Larissa Watt discusses the persecution of red meat in our diet and presents some compelling research that encourages it inclusion in our diet, while Sally Anderson, our Pilates expert, shares how you can change those trouble spots such as the abdominals through a targeted approach - I know I wouldn’t say ‘No’ to a six-pack of muscles!

Sophia Husbands gives us some much needed tips on overcoming our money story, while yours truly shares some real strategies on getting unstuck in any area of your life.

And lastly, but by no means least, our Soul Agent Sarupa Shah sheds some awareness on the dark side of light work - the industry that thrives on you feeling less than, and how you can take back control.

We trust that you will sit back, relax and enjoy reading our offerings to you in this issue. If you have any questions or comments then do feel free to drop us a line at [email protected] - we’d love to hear from you.
