What is the current thinking around birth? By building a evolving resource of video footage with experts from around the world, One World Birth aims to provide an ongoing dialogue about information and research surrounding birth, and in doing so start a revolution.I first came across One World Birth because, well, I gave birth. More importantly, I gave birth in a positive, physiological birth-...

October is always a difficult month for me. Each year October arrives with a flurry of fall leaves and pink breast cancer ribbons. I’m more aware of breast cancer than most 25 year-olds lasses might be. I lost my mother-in-law Judy to breast cancer a little over a year ago. Every October I’m reminded that there still isn’t a cure for breast cancer...

The internet allows us to look at other people’s lives more than we ever could before. People willingly divulge almost every minute detail of the existence, and the rest of us lap it up like it's cupcake flavoured water. However, while entertaining as this pastime of absorbing another person’s life has become, it's also become a bit destructive.

Writing is difficult. Whether you’re a blogger, novelist, screenwriter, journalist, poet or scribe - it can get rather difficult. You reveal and expose your soul, personal details, and your creativity on a daily basis. Sometimes you don’t feel like doing it, but, oh so often, you must. And this is precisely why there are so many blogs and websites dedicated to you. From writers block to writing methods, the internet is obsessed with those who write.

Have you heard the one about the mermaid and the whale? A photo of a “plus-size” French model with an accompanying anecdote has been making the Facebook rounds recently. The gist is that somewhere out there a gym recently posted a picture of a thin and beautiful woman with the caption, “This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?” whic...

Every television sitcom, RomCom and Chick Lit book seem to preach that “relationships aren’t easy”. Marriages “aren’t easy”. Everything has to be an uphill battle, a huge compromise. It’s normal to go months without sex and for the good day to be far outnumbered by the bad days.I’m not a relationships expert, but I don’t think it has to be all that hard.

How do you define infidelity? What constitutes cheating? None of us can assume that someone else's version of what is acceptable within a romantic relationship is the same as ours. So, what can we do about it? Set some boundaries, that's what!Boundaries help to define your relationship and how you exist within that, so they are far more necessary than you might think. Without boundaries you're just saying yes to everything, so how can you ever be responsible for your o...

Helen Mirren was quoted recently explaining how she simply never wanted to have children. Try as she may, that warm, maternal “I must procreate!” feeling never took over Helen’s mind and body.

I am horrible at relaxing. If you leave me to “sleep”, you’ll find me on Twitter. Taking a bath? I’m checking my emails. Relaxing outside? I’m writing something in my head and planning next week. It’s nothing to be proud of, trust me. It’s just plain stupid.However, I have found a couple of things that have tricked me in to relaxing. Some of those things I am not willing to write about here because I have some boundaries (not many, but some...) and I thought it would do some good to sh...

We are all thoroughly intertwined in each other’s lives throughout many, many online communities. We know more about people we’ve never met in real life than we do our next door neighbour. We can tell you all about folks we don’t even like more than that woman we sit next to on the train every single morning.
