EMMA HEAVEN
Welcome to Issue 124 ~ January/February 2026: Phoenix.
As I finally flip the bird to 2025 ~ which turned out to be the most challenging year of my life ~ I could, quite easily, throw myself a pity party. Watch my world descend into a pit of life-leaching misery and destructive despair, devoid of any hope and happiness. Or, I can rise like a Phoenix from the ashes!
A Phoenix rising symbolises renewal, rebirth and overcoming destruction ~ emerging stronger from devastation ~ this magnificent mythical bird being reborn from its very own ashes!
It represents hope, resilience and transformation after suffering hardship. It signifies new beginnings ~ an opportunity to leave the past where it belongs: behind us!!
I’m definitely not the same person I used to be ~ I’ve accepted that ~ made my peace with it. And that’s ok. I may miss the old version of me, but now it’s time to discover the new version ~ and embrace it. I may feel scared and unsure of where I’m headed ~ it’s scary to feel lost ~ yet it’s also exciting to discover a whole new me and explore what else I’m capable of.
Pain changes you, but it doesn’t have to break or destroy you. Like the Phoenix, you have extraordinary powers to rise stronger and wiser than ever before.
This is the beginning ~ believe in yourself ~ shake those beautiful feathers ~ take flight ~ now rise like a Phoenix!
Enter the Dream Factory to watch the magic unfold as the Dream Team indulges their creativity as the studio stands ready to extinguish the fiery flames and watch our beautiful Phoenix rise from the ashes.
Featuring this month:
The Ladies With Attitude ~ our all-new panel of straight-talking ladies is discussing: “ Are we ready to rise like a Phoenix?”
The Zodiac Zingers are here to guide your month ahead ~ failure to comply with this essential and life-changing advice may result in us calling the celestial police to arrest you for a sense of humour failure.
Pull up a pew to read our fabulously decadent & divine Lady P ~ this Lady puts the ‘vamp’ into revamp, and she is not giving a flying flock as she vows to blaze a trail through another year, sharing the occasional bit of tittle tattle from the Glossy Posse (Glop). This Lady is not for burning. Well, not unless she’s the one delivering the burn!
Extra-celestial Angie Barnett, with her extraordinary psychic powers. Are you a believer? #CosmicWhisper
‘Menopausal Hotties’ where we share our insights on the challenges and joys, capturing the accompanying highs, lows and undulations of the many symptoms of the menopause. Or as one of our Hotties likes to call it: something to save us from the swampy cycle of “Eat, sleep, rage/rave, repeat”! Perhaps it’s time we look to the letter ‘K’ for inspiration. And no. We don’t mean them, heaven forbid! #IYKYK 😉
SPECIAL FEATURE ALERT: The Emma Heaven magazine is very proud and excited to open its doors to the EH Art Gallery ~ immerse yourself in our virtual exhibitions, showcasing the creative and imaginative talents expressed by artists, artistes and photographers. Consider it a welcome ‘palate-cleanser’ to wash away the swampiness of everyday life!
Our latest exhibition is a meander down memory lane, where we take a look back at the last 10 years of this magazine’s incredible photo shoots. However, this retrospective is more than a little different ~ it’s positively spectacular! We have brought our photos to life with the magic of Grok, Elon Musk’s AI assistant, which we promise was on its best behaviour!!
Enjoy this extravaganza and we will see you again when we return with a fabulous new issue in March with a brand new feature, What Women Want. Now then. is that a question or a statement?! There’s only one way to find out ~ all will be revealed soon!
Be part of something special…and be part of the magic…
