There’s a shift in the air, can you feel it?

For so long, rising has meant pushing. Striving. Hustling. Burning ourselves out just to keep up. But this season? We’re reclaiming a softer kind of strength. One that doesn’t demand we prove ourselves by running on empty. One that honours rest as radical, softness as power, intuition as intelligence.

The feminine is rising; not in a flurry of chaos or urgency, but from a grounded place. A nourished place. She’s rested. She’s ready. And she’s no longer willing to abandon herself to meet the demands of a world that was never built with her in mind.

Issue 06 is a celebration of that return. To self. To rhythm. To deep, unapologetic rest. You’ll find stories that speak to the power of tuning in and letting go of the pressure to be anything other than fully, freely yourself.

Here’s to the women doing it differently. To those waking up to their worth, not because they’re exhausted, but because they’ve finally given themselves permission to rest… and rise.
