Your brave year

Suzy Walker Editor-in-Chief, with Oscar the office dog

‘When I talk about being brave, I’m not referring to things that terrify us, but smaller acts which make us take a chance on ourselves,’ says Margie Warrell, founder of the Courage Academy, in our Dossier on page 58.

We invite you to have your bravest year yet and, whether you’re going to sort out your finances (page 28), let go of the ex (page 24) or pitch for a great new job (page 50), this issue will hit the spot.
