From relationships and wellbeing to travel, style and nourishing winter food, this issue is filled with stories designed to inform, inspire and uplift.
Our cover star this month is Rose Byrne, who continues to captivate audiences with her fearless performances, most recently earning an Oscar nomination for If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.
Alongside husband Bobby Cannavale, Byrne is considered one of Hollywood’s most enduring power couples, yet she remains refreshingly grounded.
Reflecting on fame in the age of social media, she admits she feels fortunate to have avoided the pressures today’s young stars face online. “I think the amount of spotlight on young people these days, particularly with social media, would have been too overwhelming for me,” she tells MiNDFOOD. “I’m too sensitive for that.”
In Health & Wellbeing, we unpack the growing phenomenon of “partner phubbing” and examine how fractured attention and constant digital distraction are quietly reshaping modern relationships. We also speak to Dr Jo Skinner about the idea and benefits of the “reverse bucket list”. It’s a shift away from grand ambitions towards smaller, deeply meaningful goals, from nurturing friendships and family connections to recognising moments of gratitude, mindfulness and everyday joy. As temperatures drop, we explore the many benefits of winter exercise and share expert advice on staying motivated, energised and moving through the colder months.
Our refreshed STYLE section delivers 16 inspiring pages dedicated to beauty, hair, fashion and interiors, spotlighting the trends, products and ideas defining the season.
In POSTCARD and our newly launched ATLAS section, we celebrate the beauty and diversity of our own backyard and beyond, journeying through Tasmania, Dunedin, Fiordland, Hong Kong and the spectacular Great Barrier Reef.
Meanwhile, INSEASON embraces the comforts of winter with hearty soups, nourishing dinners and flavour-packed seasonal recipes. Learn how to make your own stock, discover warming meals perfect for cold nights, and explore simple ways to support immunity and wellbeing throughout winter.
Plus, enjoy the latest in books, entertainment and culture, along with 15 pages of our ever-popular puzzles to keep you challenged, engaged and entertained all month long.
