Nietzsche is popular again and millennials are exploring the idea of nihilism and the meaninglessness of life. When I was their age, I suspect my generation referred to it as “WTF do I do with life-ism.”
After speaking and interviewing hundreds of women from all walks of life at WOMAN.com.au, I came up with a list of 16 new habits every woman (or man) should keep this year.

We’re still working on our official logo. Our website is in beta. The concept is work in progress. And there’s so much more to be done. It’s easy to doubt… Read more →
We have been extremely busy over at Woman.com.au HQ. The last few months have seen the launch of Gen Y Founder Diaries, World Wide Women and our very own magazines on Flipboard. Sifting over 200 applications for the Gen Y Founder Diaries, we painfully whittled it down to seven finalists who vied for five regular blogging spots. They had four… Read more →
