Exhale

EXHALE to let go,

to acknowledge the challenges without them defining you
to walk away from what no longer serves you
to celebrate and to hold memories close
to move on with kindness to self
to hold onto what matters.

The prose, poetry and short stories on these pages represents the chaos of life: the sadness and heartbreak, the beauty and the joy.

EXHALE is the final collection of writing from women in Aotearoa whose words offer the world an escape, a breath of motivation, a thoughtful questioning of our priorities.
