In Issue 57 of Breathe, we explore what it means to carry less – and live more fully. Discover how emotional independence can steady us through life’s more difficult feelings, and reflect on what happens when the goals we chase grow from within rather than from outside expectation. Look gently at the courage it takes to ask for help, and the connection that blooms when we do. Venture behind the scenes of micro fiction and step into the meditative world of stitching as a practice. Savour the warmth of thoughtful entertaining with a beautiful breakfast recipe selection from Kate Nixon, and pause a little longer with a collectable art print by Takaya Yurie.
