Excerpt from the editor's Welcome: "I love the quality of the connections in Wavepool [community] and the calibre of Soulacy women." The calibre of SOULACY women... I love that. It shows that we're creating a whole vibe here, that we're attracting interesting, curious, vibrant women, and that everyone is finding value in it. 

And that calibre is prominent throughout this issue. The depth that our writers have gone in to for their pieces this month - the vulnerability that they have shared and shown us, is remarkable. From sharing their personal experience with depression, to talking about trauma, to sharing just how difficult it is to keep doing the work, our writers have demonstrated just how authentic and wise they truly are. They are SOULACY women. 

May is Women's Health Month and Mental Health Month and what a brilliant combination to bring into our awareness. The articles in this issue reflect that intrinsically, our writers felt aligned with those areas of health and well-being. The following pages are full of introspection, wisdom, compassion, vulnerability, and support, and done in the loving way that you've come to expect from SOULACY.  

And isn't that a beautiful thing? 

At a time when so much of the world feels rather uncaring and polarising, and many are fearful, hurt, and discarded - where so many feel invisible, misunderstood, and constantly at battle to simply be welcome as themselves - to have this small space of time and place to spend within the pages of SOULACY to feel seen and cared for and inspired to keep growing, to keep moving forward, to keep being absorbed in your purpose, is beyond words.
