While I don’t personally believe in New Year resolutions, launching a new health and wellbeing newsletter feels like a pretty good way to kick start the year. After a jam-packed 2022, [cover star Brodie Kane]( feels much the same about projecting her goals too far ahead, preferring to go-with-the-flow by looking at her health as a much larger picture. Balance is one of those words that can often feel a bit cliche when used to describe a wellbeing philosophy, but not so in Brodie’s case. Arriving at our shoot a day before heading off to run her first ultra-marathon she was upfront about her non-negotiable commitment to exercise, while admitting she’s also a fan of slowing down every now and again and just hanging out on the couch. She credits this dedication to fitness (and fun) to growing up in a family where sporty activities and a give-it-a-go mentality were a huge part of her upbringing. “Being active is really important,” she says, “but being healthy isn’t just about how fit you are, or what you’re eating. I’ve learned that it’s not about thrashing yourself but knowing when to be kind to yourself and chill.” So, whether you’re [inspired by Brodie]( to take up running, or simply looking for ways to [add more joy to your life,]( we’ve got everything you need in this month’s edition. If eating well is on your radar we’ve got [delicious salads]( to help you keep your vege quota up plus our beginner’s guide to Round the Bays is for anyone and everyone keen to give it go, especially if (like me!) you’ve let your fitness slide over the holidays. Do yourself a favour and [join the Stuff/RTB running club]( and I’ll see you at the starting line.
