Our 2026 Women’s Health and Wellbeing Summit is underway today in Sydney. There’s some great panels still to come this afternoon, so if you haven’t already, tune into the livestream for free here.
It’s why we’ve partnered with The Man Cave, Movember and the Foundation for Positive Masculinity to look into the ways we can empower boys. If you are a mother, father, carer, coach, mentor, teacher or someone with any kind of responsibility over boys, we’d love you to share your insights in our new survey.
Plus, our editor-in-chief Tarla Lambert-Patel recently embarked on a walking trip to Uluru, guided by Tasmanian Walking Company. It was the perfect reminder to slow down even when life is most turbulent.
