There's still a stigma around men utilising self-care, with many under pressure to dedicate everything to their jobs.

Between climbing the corporate ladder or pushing themselves in their own businesses to help provide for their families, the stress can take a toll on their personal wellbeing.  

Naturopath and wellness expert Erin O'Hara unpacked the issue further - and outlined some self-care strategies.

The Ruins by Becky Docton. This is a generational story across three decades, which begins in 1937 when a mother abandons her young girl on a Devon railway station, leaving her in the care of strangers and from which point the child is forced to navigate the rest of her life. It’s a very compelling and moving story set in a period of enormous change throughout the world.

Never Say War by Asne Seierstad. The author met a young mercenary from the Wagner Group who sought asylum in Norway and through him, and after subsequent travels around Russia, was able to write the very human story of the Special Military Operation in Ukraine which may not be referred to as a war but has transformed the lives of millions. From Siberia, to villages, to the cities and in homes and workplaces, this is journalism at its finest. Insightful, humane and riveting.

Sisters Margo Flanagan and Rosa Power are the team behind Two Raw Sisters, and they've got a new recipe book out this week.

They published their first book seven years ago and they've written five earlier cookbooks - but this one promises to be different, with over 100 recipes you're gauranteed to turn into household staples.  

The pair have built the brand out of utilising healthy food that makes you feel good and that fits in with your life, but How We Cook is being pitched as the 'Two Raw Sisters bible'. 

"We wanted it to be the one that's always on your bench because you use it too much too much to put it away on your shelves...it's everything you need in one place."
