They arrived there slowly, through patterns that were easy to dismiss at first and harder to ignore over time. What is a Narcissistic Relationship? Many narcissistic relationship dynamics begin with powerful emotional intensity. The pace feels fast but exciting. You might feel like you’ve met someone who just gets you. They text constantly. They praise you openly. They talk about the future early. It feels romantic, almost storybook. You may begin to feel that harmony depends on yourRead More…

In: News, Women

As Malta approaches the next general election, voters are being presented with a wide range of promises aimed at improving healthcare, education, work-life balance and the overall cost of living. For many women and families, however, the most important question is practical rather than political: which proposals could genuinely improve daily life? The Malta Election 2026 proposals announced by the Labour Party (PL) and the Nationalist Party (PN) – commonly considered as the two major Maltese parties, each reflect different priorities and different ideas about how Malta should develop over the coming years. Some focus on direct financial support, others on infrastructure and healthcare reform.Read More…

In: News, Women

Following our call for contributions, women shared a wide range of experiences and perspectives. Taken together, they paint a clear picture – not just of isolated concerns, but of systemic gaps, everyday struggles, and a strong demand for fairness, dignity, and meaningful change. Women spoke of working tirelessly, studying, budgeting, and saving, only to feel financially strained and excluded from benefits. Some expressed deep frustration at what they perceive as an imbalance where effort and responsibility are not adequately recognised. This sentiment has led, for some, to disengagement from the political process altogether, with a feeling that neither major party truly represents them. Motherhood, Time,Read More…

Real Results and Real Experiences One of the biggest reasons Ozempic for weight loss has gained so much attention is how quickly it can work. Many women report noticeable weight loss within weeks, often without the constant hunger that makes traditional dieting so difficult. “I lost 7 kilos in 3 months… I was never hungry, which was unbelievable for me.” The appetite suppression effect is one of the most consistent experiences. Women describe feeling full faster, thinking less about food, and finally having a sense of control over their eating habits. But alongside these results, there is often an emotional layer. Many women start theirRead More…

In: Health, Physical Health

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is most commonly discussed in relation to menopause, but its role in women’s health is broader and more nuanced than many realise. At its core, HRT involves replacing hormones – most commonly oestrogen with or without progesterone, and in some cases testosterone, when the body is no longer producing them in sufficient amounts. This hormonal imbalance can occur at different stages of a woman’s life, not only during menopause. While many women turn to HRT to manage menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, sleep disruption, mood changes and vaginal dryness, younger women may also require HRT for important medicalRead More…

In: Health, Mental Health

As winter arrives, many women notice subtle but meaningful shifts in how they feel. Energy levels drop, motivation feels harder to access, and emotions can feel heavier than usual. Even in Malta, where winters are relatively mild, shorter days and changes in routine can quietly affect mental wellbeing. For some women, these changes develop into what is known as seasonal depression. Often referred to as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), seasonal depression is a type of depression that follows a seasonal pattern, typically emerging during autumn and winter and easing as spring approaches. While seasonal depression can affect anyone, research consistently shows that women are moreRead More…
