They say change is as good as a holiday, and if that’s the case, I should be feeling as rested as ever (clue: I am not). I write to you rather frazzled from London, where I relocated a couple of months ago, packing up my entire family and the enormous amount of stuff we have accumulated over the past five years, to make a new home in the northern hemisphere, close to my family. I’ll still be with you for the next couple of issues, but I’ll be bringing the pages of this magazine together from afar which, thanks to the pandemic, is hardly a revolutionary notion (a special mention to Zoom and impossibly long email chains). As I have re-dug the foundations of home here — hanging new blinds in new…

@jumbledonline Art I was gifted a work by Gabrielle Penfold for my wedding some years ago and have loved her work ever since. Gabrielle paints quintessentially Aussie scenes — a mountain of cooked shrimp, a bather laid out by the pool, a picnic basket at the beach — depicted in a dreamy palette of washed-out pastels that make me think of hazy summer days. Hung on my wall in my new London home, it’s a reminder of those Sundays spent horizontal at the beach, with friends and sandy snacks. Oh to be free Feeling wild is the same as feeling free. It’s letting your heart open and moving in sync with your soul. Over the past few weeks, I have felt free to feel into my wild side by dancing, and I have…

WILD was conceived as a magazine for the curious — for change-makers and belief-shakers. We wanted to speak to millennials who are switched on to big ideas and ready to make change in a world that is demanding a new way of living. We’ve had a lot of fun along the way, exploring topics as diverse as music activism and vintage homewares. Because when you sit around the dinner table with friends, sharing bowls of pasta and bottles of wine, the conversation tends to meander from environmental movements to social justice initiatives, from wellness trends to interior styling. So when we commission our issues, it is with you in mind, around the dinner table, on the road, sprawled out on the beach, chatting the gamut of big topics and feeling that…

I’m lying on my mat at the end of a challenging hot yoga practice, eyes closed, sweat sliding down my temples and palms facing open to the studio’s ceiling. This resting pose is called shavasana, a Sanskrit word that signals a state of relaxation at the end of a class. My instructor’s gentle voice washes over me as he explains yogic philosophy between instructions to shift from crow’s pose to arrow stance. At the end, a low ‘Om’ rolls out from the chests of those around me and, once this sacred chant of harmony dissipates, the session concludes in a collective namaste. Today, Australia’s Generation Z — those born between 1997 to 2012 — are more likely to roll out their yoga mats, read their horoscopes and carry crystals than be found…

From a young age, I was taught everyone else’s needs came before mine. My mother was very emotionally fragile, and as an only child in a single-parent household, I assumed responsibility for tasks such as replacing appliances that broke down with my own money, and dealing with government agencies on her behalf when she couldn’t cope. This left me anxious, frustrated, lacking in self-esteem, and only willing to take a stand in defence of other people and not myself. Healing this fraught relationship with myself has meant letting go of unreasonable expectations and learning to ask for what I want and to say no when it’s necessary. It sounds simple, but speaking up and setting boundaries is tricky to execute when you feel like you’re not enough. Perhaps you feel taken…
