Wonder Wellness Woman

Welcome to Wonder Wellness Woman!

The development of this blog has been a passion project born from a conversation that my beloved teen boys were having about a certain toxic male influencer (I’m sure you know who I mean) and the realisation that despite the smashing of glass ceilings, NOTHING, when it comes to women, has changed. it was a moment that fanned the flames of my feminist rage, and since the recent election results in the USA and the silencing of women in Afghanistan, those flames have hit supernova.

It’s not good enough.

Everything is positioned to belittle women - magazines, newspapers, terminology, social media, the workplace, diet culture etc - and we respond to this belittlement with our own internalised misogyny, something that has been part of our societal conditioning throughout this stage of human evolution. It’s a painfully hard thing to recognise, or even admit to, but eye opening when the penny finally drops.

I’ve always considered myself a feminist, I certainly spouted feminist rhetoric in my teens and twenties, but I don’t believe now, looking back, that I proved myself worthy of that title. I was as guilty of misogyny as the next person. I bought magazines even when they blatantly highlighted a woman’s supposed imperfections, I was harsh in my critique of women, I wasn’t always as good a friend as I should have been. This changed organically over the years and having spent time stripping myself back to the bare bones of me, what has been rebuilt is entirely different to the younger version of myself. I’m still a mix of everything I was and everything I am becoming, but the conditioning of a patriarchal society has been shed and is burning on my feminist rage fire!

It’s ok. I’m ok with that younger version of me, because she was reacting with conditioned responses, and she did her best, but I’ve learned so much since then and grown, developed and blossomed into who I am now. For the first time in my life, I am content as I am. I like me. All of me. This has been the most remarkable area of my journey, and it’s something I will write about in detail.

Now I believe that my advocacy for the sisterhood is my superpower, now I believe absolutely in what I say and think. I don’t buy those magazines anymore, and I don’t follow their socials, I am fiercely loyal to those I love and I include myself in that. The biggest change in all of this is that I no longer carry the weight of expectation. It’s been one hell of a journey to now, but I am glad I walked it, even if my feet ache!

Wonder Wellness Woman is to be the magazine that I want to read, it’s the focus on the divine feminine power that society doesn’t want us to have, it’s the acceptance of self and the inclusion of ALL women into the sisterhood.

Women who stand together are unstoppable.

Wellness

Wellness means something different to everyone, but to me it’s the delicate balance of mental, physical, spiritual and emotional health. In the past four years, my wellness and wellbeing have been a journey of learning, accepting myself , experiencing moments beyond my imagination and really listening to myself and my intuition.

Woman

We are a magnificent mix of all things and when we come together, magic happens. I am excited to explore female history, look at how terms we use now to describe women have had different meanings in the past, and focus on amazing female achievements, or women I think are worth writing about!
