This project started with me writing down some prominent relationships women experience in life: partner-partner, mother-daughter, the gentle dynamic of a group of friends who feel like sisters. I then created fictional worlds around the standout sentiments, like how it feels to fall in love with yourself through someone else, or to find out you’re about to perpetuate life.
As you read the magazine and follow the cycles of womanhood, you’ll begin to see it: we were always supposed to move like the seasons in order to create a beautiful, serene reality. We grew up in a world that has asked us to move in straight lines; this magazine invites us to return to our natural rhythms. That’s why it ends with cycle syncing resources—tools to help you understand your body’s natural phases, to reconnect with yourself, and to move back into the world with confidence and love.
Before reading, I ask you to get into this headspace:
I want you to feel—not think, but go into your body and remember how to move through the world by sensation alone. I want you to read this and think about that woman. The one who helped you understand who you are, when to remember, how to forget. How it felt when she held your hand, wiped your tears, made you cry because you were laughing so hard, because you both decided to believe that life was pretty lovely and you were invincible, even if only for a moment.
I want you to remember that you’re a sister, a friend, a stranger who told some girl you liked her hair in a restroom last year. That woman—the one who saw you, understood you, lifted you—exists in all of us. And these pages are where you can always come to find her.
