If you’ve been quietly wondering, “am I in a narcissistic relationship?“, that question alone deserves your attention. Because most women who ask it didn’t arrive there suddenly. 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…

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…

decriminalising abortion in malta

In: News, Women

These are morally difficult issues. Yet in Malta we recognise that criminal punishment is not always the appropriate response to moral complexities. In fact, many issues considered morally “wrong” by some have been removed from the criminal code such as sodomy which until 1973 was considered a crime. This decriminalisation did not mean society declared every aspect of sexuality morally uncomplicated. It meant the state recognised that imprisoning consenting adults for private sexual acts was unjust and disproportionate. The removal of sodomy from the Criminal Code did not “celebrate” it. It acknowledged that criminal law is a blunt instrument, one that should not be usedRead More…

the evolved masculine

Women today are standing tall: independent, confident, and self-sufficient. We work hard, make our own choices, and build lives that reflect our strength and resilience. We don’t need a man to complete us, but that doesn’t mean we don’t want one. Because even the strongest women still desire genuine connection. Not lust, not power games, not empty promises, but love that feels safe, honest, and steady. A love built on mutual respect. That kind of love comes from an evolved masculine – a man who leads with integrity, maturity, and heart. 1. The Evolved Masculine Is Emotionally Mature and Grounded The evolved masculine isn’t afraidRead More…

In 2023, the lowest total fertility rate in Europe was recorded in Malta, at 1.06 live births per woman. This alarmingly low Malta birth rate has become a growing concern for both government and opposition. The Nationalist Party has proposed introducing a new “Parent 2” tax band for families with more than one child, which would leave each family around €8,500 better off per year. The measure aims to ease the financial pressures of raising children and encourage couples to have larger families. PN leader Alex Borg has also called for paid parental leave to be extended to a full year across all sectors, echoingRead More…
