We need to talk about something most of us would rather avoid: money. You know that moment in a meeting when people start throwing around words like budget forecast or interest rates, and you’re just sitting there thinking, “Did I miss a whole class on this?” Yeah. Same. Money talk can feel intimidating, but it really doesn’t have to be. So… Why Is It So Hard to Talk About Money? Women face some pretty specific challenges when it comes to money, and we’re not doing ourselves any favours by pretending otherwise. Let’s start with the obvious one: the wage gap is still very much aRead More…

Fast fashion dominates the high street, but tucked into Malta’s growing secondhand scene is something far more refreshing: Thrifty Lady. Inside, you’ll find colour, character, and clothes with stories to tell. Every rack is thoughtfully curated, with pieces that are ready to be loved all over again. No overwhelm or trend-chasing; just a space where fashion feels more personal and a little more fun. A Treasure Trove Without the Chaos New pieces arrive regularly, so there’s always something worth exploring. Some items come nearly brand new (or even with tags!), others carry that perfectly worn-in charm. There’s a mix of vintage, modern, bold, minimal, everyday,Read More…

There’s something about summer that makes us want to hit pause. Maybe it’s the longer days or the way the sun makes everything feel a little slower. But if we’re being honest, slowing down doesn’t always come easy. We’ve been wired to go, go, go – tick the boxes, be productive, keep it together. Even in 35°C heat! But this summer, maybe we can try something different: we don’t fill every moment, and we let ourselves just be. You Don’t Need to Earn Your Rest Let’s get one thing straight, rest is not a reward. It’s not something you have to earn by being exhaustedRead More…

You know that feeling when you’ve got 74 tabs open on your browser and about 112 more in your brain? Welcome to the invisible load. Or, as many women know it, just a normal Tuesday. Despite all the progress we’ve made, women continue to bear the mental weight of everything. The to-dos, the birthdays, the meal planning, the emotional support, the dentist appointments, the “we’re out of toothpaste” reminders, and oh, the tiny matter of showing up at work, being present for our kids, and maybe even finding 10 minutes to breathe. It’s a full-time job on top of all the other full-time jobs. WhatRead More…

Let’s be real, there’s something incredibly powerful about a woman who decides to invest in herself. Whether it’s finally understanding that techy thing you’ve been avoiding or gaining the confidence to speak up in a meeting, education has this way of lighting a fire in us. And for women, that fire can be life-changing. Because when women learn, something shifts. Confidence grows, opportunities open up, and suddenly we’re not just doing life, we’re owning it. Education Builds Confidence (And Not Just the Academic Kind) It’s easy to think of education as books, lectures, and exams, but it’s also that feeling of walking into a roomRead More…

No one should feel uncomfortable, unsafe, or silenced at work. Yet, for many women, the workplace can still be a space where power imbalances and inappropriate behaviour go unchecked. Whether it’s suggestive comments, unwanted messages, physical advances, or more subtle forms of coercion, sexual harassment is never “just part of the job.” It violates your dignity, and you don’t have to tolerate it. What Counts as Sexual Harassment? Sexual harassment comes in many forms, including: These behaviours create a hostile or intimidating work environment, and under Maltese law, they are unlawful. You Are Not Alone: Support in Malta In Malta, support services exist to empowerRead More…

There was a time when I believed, like many of us did, that love meant finding someone who completed you. You know, the whole “you complete me” fantasy, like we’re walking puzzle pieces with bits missing. Cute in theory, utter nonsense in practice. But now, in my 30s (with a bit of life experience under my belt), I know better. I complete myself. I’ve done the inner work. I’ve worked hard to build a life I love. A man is welcome to join that life, but only if he adds something meaningful to it. Peace, growth, laughter… you know, the good stuff. Because when youRead More…

Nurses are the heartbeat of healthcare. They’re there during your darkest hours, brightest moments, and everything in between. But behind every uniform is a person with a story—and this one includes night shifts, toddler cuddles, and a whole lot of heart. For Kim Galea, nursing isn’t just a job—it’s part of her DNA. Her parents began their careers in nursing: her mum became a hospital unit manager, and her dad is now a global medical education manager and clinical expert. Surrounded by care and compassion from an early age, Kim knew that looking after others wasn’t just something her family did; it was something sheRead More…

Mother’s Day isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s a patchwork of joy, tears, quiet moments, loud laughter, late-night cuddles, missed milestones, unconditional love, and fierce resilience. It’s about the mothers who show up—in big ways, in small ways, in ways that are sometimes invisible to others. Today, we honour you. Because motherhood isn’t defined by biology. It’s not reserved for picture-perfect moments or glossy cards. It’s shaped by love, sacrifice, strength, and the choice to keep showing up. Whether you’re a birth mother, adoptive mum, guardian, grandmother, solo parent, foster mum, mother figure, or navigating the complex spaces of loss or longing—you matter. Your story matters. And thisRead More…
