When we experience stress, conflict or anxiety, our nervous system instinctively shifts into high alert. Once the real – or even perceived – threat has passed, the body is designed to return to a state of rest.

Finding wellbeing through creative expression
Photography Yiyao Tian What happens when we stop searching for the right words and allow creativity to speak? For Virginia Frankovich, the answer lies somewhere between art, psychology, play and the discovery of parts of ourselves we may have forgotten were there. There are some things we can explain, and then there are the things we can only feel. A memory that lives somewhere beneath the surface. A sadness that doesn’t quite have a name. A tension held somewhere in the body.
How the wellness industry unintentionally reinforces body anxiety
When health has a certain ‘look’ I recently had a conversation with a Pilates instructor. She’s strong, incredibly fit, and passionate about helping people move their bodies. Yet she admitted that she sometimes feels like a fraud simply because she lives in a bigger body. That conversation stopped me in my tracks.
Could heavy metals be affecting your health?
When I was five years old, I was exposed to lead, and nobody knew it. My parents were renovating our family home themselves to save money. Every weekend I followed my dad around, “helping” him strip old paint from windows and door frames with a heat gun. Years later, I discovered those layers of old paint contained lead. At the time, no one connected the dots on how my personality changed after this exposure, no matter how many doctors my parents took me to, looking for answers.
What happens to your kids when you do the inner work?
Jacqlin Richards, author of F*ck Up Your Kids with Grace & Humour: The Truth About Parenting, on why your child’s meltdowns and moods might be telling you something about yourself – and what changes for them the moment you start listening.

How New Zealanders are drinking more intentionally
For generations, buying a bottle of wine was simply another item on the weekly supermarket shop. A familiar label went into the trolley without much thought, chosen because it was on special, recommended by a friend or simply recognised from the shelf. Today, that decision is becoming far more intentional. Across New Zealand, our relationship with alcohol is changing. People are drinking less, but when they do pour a glass, they’re increasingly choosing quality over quantity.
