Is it just me, or does this month always feel like it’s coated in a little extra shimmer? The fairy lights, the cosy nights, the cinnamon-in-the-air kind of energy… It’s the one month where everything softens. Where we slow down just enough to notice the magic that’s been there all along.

Issue 61 carries that same glow. It’s one of those editions I could genuinely frame — partly because our cover star, Laura Bartlett, looks like she walked straight out of a constellation, but mostly because the whole issue feels like a deep, steady exhale.

December is the place where reflection meets clarity.

Where we gather up every version of ourselves from the past year — the brave parts, the tender parts, the tired parts, the triumphant parts — and decide what gets to come with us into the next chapter.

This issue is built to hold you through that moment.

Inside these pages, you’ll find reminders to return to yourself, to your intuition, to nature, to truth. Pieces about simplifying life when it feels unnecessarily heavy, about honouring your yes and your no, about rebuilding confidence from the inside out, about visibility that starts with self-awareness, about healing patterns that stop you resting, about aligning your business so it finally works with you, not against you.
