Welcome to Issue 2

"Try to live your life in a way that you will not regret years of useless virtue, inertia, timidity." - Maya Angelou Upon launching Issue 1 of Stellar Woman Magazine, I experienced a great thrill that my dream and vision was out in the world and no longer in my head or on paper. It still brings a smile during my high and low points – in this cycle of life! However, it didn’t take long before I started to contemplate how Issue 2 would be; the theme, who I will be interviewing and who would be on the cover page. I also needed some inspiration to get going! Then came the Olympics! What a great way to be inspired by these thriving sports women and men. I hope you were inspired as well. https://youtu.be/Xi5zsgLJetk The World is an oyster for those who decide to see it tha...

Intimate Fitness is Good for everybody. You just Need to Understand Your anatomy – Nadia Williams

Who is Nadia and why got you into the space of female intimacy health? My name is Nadia Williams. I am an intimate fitness instructor, and sex educator. I help women with their intimate health and wellbeing for pleasure and health benefit. My background is that I used to live in Paris for 20 years and in 2009 I moved to New York because of low confidence and I was searching for something to help me. I had breast cancer and I had been given antidepressant pills which after a while I decided not to take. Then I started searching for several programmes and for several techniques that could help me first with my pelvic floor issues. Due to the treatment for breast cancer, I somehow felt my muscles become a little bit weak. I had started to have urinary incontinences....

5 Signs That You Might Have Hormonal Imbalance – Dr Dunni Atalabi

Have you ever had a boss or a colleague who was quite irritable and possibly people made comments like, ‘I think it is that time of the month’? While this is an offensive comment, it is rather common and I have heard it so many times. Occasionally women are looked upon as being quite emotional at some times of the month and sometimes that is quite persistent. This could be related to an imbalance in their hormones. While speaking with ladies, I discovered that so many do not seem to recognise the subtle signs that their body is telling them about a possible problem with their hormones. The human body is so harmoniously connected by nerves and chemicals called hormones in an intelligent system called the neuroendocrine system. This system not only receives information but also gives info...

Am I Living My Life or Someone Else’s?

If you look at all aspects of your life, are you living by your definitions, desires, values, and identification? How often do you choose to behave, dress, purchase, or do (or not do) something because someone else wants that for you or to fit in? What do you give up in yourself to do that? If you lived your life in a way that truly represents you, how would it look? We all conform to laws and various societal constraints to maintain a safe, sane, and consensual world. We can examine where we can express and live our lives within that framework so as to better express who we truly wish to be. Some things to consider: Do you know what you want?Do your preferences conform to the expectations of your friends, family, or partner instead of your own?Can you make a ch...

How Mindful Eating Can Change Your Life – By Patricia Merlin

The question is not what we eat but how we eat and how our eating habits impact the way we live. Being aware of this simple fact is the starting point for change, leading to a more fulfilled life. This article asks questions but to find the answers we must look within ourselves. There is a saying that I have found to be very true: “The way we do one thing is the way we do everything”. In whatever situation I find myself, I repeat the same patterns of behaviour over and over again. There’s always stuff we’re unhappy with, and we think if only we could change them we would live better, but first we have to address our habits, starting with one habit. Only one at a time. First, I’d like to suggest that you read this article slowly. Yes, slowly. It will take less than five mi...
