If you’re a woman who’s ever been told, “It’s all in your head,” when you’re dealing with real, painful symptoms, you’re not alone. If you’ve ever sat in a doctor’s office, trying to explain your pain, only to be brushed off, misdiagnosed, or handed antidepressants instead of real answers, welcome to the frustrating world of women’s healthcare.

“I felt like I was living a life someone else had designed for me. Everything was planned: school, job, marriage, kids. But none of it was my dream.”

Many of us have experienced those moments when we pause and wonder about the systems shaping our lives. The quiet assumptions about relationships, marriage, and family that we often accept without question can carry expectations that feel at odds with our deepest needs for independence and self-expr...

Sisterhood is revolutionary. It’s messy, imperfect, and sometimes uncomfortable—but it’s worth it. Because when we unite, we’re not just fighting back; we’re building a world where every woman can stand tall, speak loudly, and live freely.

IntroductionSisterhood is a force to be reckoned with. It’s what has carried us through centuries of silencing, marginalisation, and exclusion. Yet, we live in a world where women are often pitted against each other—by systems that thrive on division. Politics, culture, religion, and even the pr...

Join us on the magazine today where Susie Hopkins from Lilo Wellness shares her journey of parenting an autistic child solo.

"There is nothing scarier than your baby going stiff and turning blue as they gasp for air. This seizure was how I first found out that there was something wrong with my beautiful 5 y.o. boy Harry. When I decided to have a baby solo, I knew it would be hard but I certainly didn’t realise just how hard..."

Yesterday I asked my Smart Healthy Women community to share their stories around the current racial conflict in North America. Froswa' shared her personal story with me today and with her permission I've published it on Smart Healthy Women. It is very powerful.

"Thank you for sharing your experiences with me Froswa’ – I am honoured to read it and I’m so sorry that this is your experience. I know I can’t truly understand it because I haven’t lived it, but I believe that awareness is the beginning of compassion and change. And I really hope your’s and similar stories will be in the forefront until change occurs. I wish people could see each other’s hearts because the whole world would be such a different place. I would love to share this on my SHW page and as an article on the online magazine, but only with your permission. Your lived experience and that of others are the most powerful testaments to the truth."

There's a lot of inequality in the world today, and the current pandemic serves to highlight these inequalities, particularly for women who often bear the brunt of the financial, physical, emotional and existential impacts. Is it an opportunity to shift the capitalistic masculine narrative into something more equitable? Food for thought...
..the goal is a drastic cultural shift...so that all of women’s contributions command direct access to resources and without question. This is how things always should’ve been.

There are countless studies, which prove a direct correlation between the cleanliness of our homes and the state of our own physical and mental health. It’s proven, that people who clean their homes more often, suffer from less allergies and are in general more energetic and physically active. Scientists still debate whether it’s the physical fitness that makes people clean more, or the fact that they clean more often makes them physically fit, but the important fact is that it’s healthy to clean.
