Issue #19: The Back to School Issue
September - the advent of autumnal leaves and cooler evenings, and traditionally a time for the little ones (I can say 'little ones' now I am over 30) to return to school. I was never one to get excited about going back to school, but I loved the idea of a new notebook or a new pencil case and the feeling that I could reinvent myself and start all over again - this year I'm gonna be a cool kid, a skater kid, a goth, a super sporty cheerleader who dresses like Britney Spears and dates a Justin Timberlake look-a-like kid (inevitably I was none of these, although I did manage the awkard geeky thing for a couple of years - go me!).
So in honour of new beginnings and days filled with the notion I could do and be anything, this issue is dedicated to those inpirational women who have really gone for it and pushed themselves out of their comfort zone - with some truly aspirational results. Here Amanda Thomson, founder of Skinny Champagne, Ali Meehan, founder of Costa Women, and Vanessa Vallely, founder of We Are The City, share their stories and some great advice. And let's not forget the men - we feature the brilliant Andy Woodfield, creator of Genius Power Dreams and PwC partner, in our Man's Corner.
I hope you enjoy this issue and that it inspires you to take one step that will push you outside your comfort zone, because as a wise person once said "that's where the magic happens" (no, that wise person wasn't me - I wish it was).
Happy reading!
