Wisdom of the Albatross

From the editor • No one told me that being in love with you would mean that motherhood feels less like a burden and more like a shared love story.

The spoonful • Thoughts for sipping

The Pulse • Medical findings for a healthier body

Life Lines • Interesting slices of life

Green Beat • All the latest in environmental issues

Raspberries • Raspberries, a member of the rose family, are as nutritious and delicious as they are beautiful.

Slippery Elm • The soft, soothing power of slippery elm can help everything from digestive problems and coughs to cuts and scrapes.

Change for good • Life itself is change and if you want to engage in life fully and joyously, then you need to find ways to create, and cope with, change on all levels of your life.

BETTER barbecuing • Barbecuing can be a social and tasty way to prepare a meal. Alas, depending on what’s on the grill and how you’re cooking it, the barbecue can also present some real longterm health risks. The good news is that there are delicious ways that you can have your barbecue and eat it too.

Reclaiming the sacred • We turn to our phones for connection, meaning and escape, yet what we crave most often lives elsewhere. Neuroscience now shows what wisdom traditions have always known. Stepping back from constant stimulation changes not only how we feel but how we flourish. With the right planning, a digital detox can be far more doable and rewarding than you might think.

THE NERVE TO HEAL • What if chronic pain wasn’t just a physical symptom but the way the nervous system responds to stress, trauma and overload? Jessica Maguire is helping thousands make that shift, teaching science-backed tools that bring relief, resilience and a fresh perspective on health.

Breast cancer care • Breast cancer is a reality many Australians will face — personally or through someone close to them. This report shares what we understand today, what’s evolving in detection and treatment, and what can help through prevention, early diagnosis and community support, with hope for brighter outcomes and empowered futures.

The revolution of choosing yourself • Do you trust yourself? It’s not a question we often stop to ask ourselves yet that trust shapes every choice we make. Too often, we hand the steering wheel to other people’s expectations or the pressure to do what’s “right” in the eyes of others. Self-trust can help you make choices that are truly yours and feel good about them too.

Demystifying hormones • Hormones are one of the most misunderstood areas of women’s health. From hormone replacement therapy to natural medicine, myths and half-truths can leave many women feeling frustrated and unheard. Here, we clear the confusion to help you understand your body and make informed choices about your health.

Pathways for the Green Movement • Rather than being a single entity, the environment movement takes in a range of diverse perspectives, some of which are mutually exclusive options. Many of these viewpoints are under-represented in the media, and they are worth examining with a critical open mind.
