Our Winter 2025 issue offers inspiration from some of the top voices in natural living, compassionate parenting, health, and sustainability. We’re so excited for you to dive into this rich and inviting issue! Click on the cover or arrows below to read it now.
From the cozy moments to the sense of community this season brings, winter offers us a much-needed excuse to slow down and enjoy what matters most.
What You’ll Find in This Issue
You’ll find guidance for real-life parenting challenges like how to support a toddler’s overwhelmed nervous system, what to do when a teen’s grades drop, and why compassion matters more than punishment. Parenting expert, Wendy Snyder of Fresh Start Family, brings her kind and practical lens to discipline, reminding us that boundaries and empathy go hand-in-hand.
You’ll hear from Kebbeh Autry, who left a traditional career path to help families build community and connection with the outdoor world through her in-person classes at Magnolia the Nature Club.
Dr. Catherine Clinton shares how nature plays a vital role in our health at the quantum level. I had a tough time editing our conversation down to fit in the magazine, so stay tuned for a longer version here on the website!
Plus I got to interview my longtime friend Kim Rosas about creating her new brick-and-mortar shop for holistic menstrual supplies: Period Nirvana. Some friends and I met up for her August grand opening in Asheville, North Carolina. Read our conversation, and if you’re in the area, go to her shop!
There’s plenty of inspiration for simplifying: Fiona Liu shares how BabyMint is making secondhand baby gear more accessible, and our gift guides offer thoughtful ways to celebrate without overconsumption. And Linda McGurk is back with advice on simple and frugal living.
You’ll also find a guide to bird-watching with kids and a screen-free babyhood journey, along with our usual book recommendations, seasonal recipes, and guided meditations for kids.
