Changemakers
We all want to leave things a little better than we found them. But what is a change agent, really? It’s a person who isn't afraid to challenge the status quo to make things happen. We’re highlighting the changemakers who are doing the work in their communities and showing you how you can start making your own moves.
Indymedia
In a world of 24-hour news cycles, indymedia (independent media) is more important than ever. We’re taking a hard look at media bias and how it shapes the way stories about women are told. It’s about being a critical consumer of information and finding the sources that are actually worth your time.

Hormonal health is one of the most underaddressed areas of wellness — and one of the most impactful. Changes in energy, mood, body composition, sleep, and libido are often dismissed as inevitable, when in many cases they're directly connected to hormonal imbalances that can be assessed, understood, and treated. Jova Medical Clinic in London, Ontario takes that conversation seriously. Between the Covers Magazine subscribers receive a free 15-minute online consultation with Dr. Alisha Smith, Jova Medical's hormone health specialist. The consultation is conducted virtually, making it accessible to patients across Ontario regardless of location. It's a no-commitment opportunity to speak directly with a qualified medical professional about your hormonal health, ask the questions you haven't known where to take, and understand what options may be available to you. Dr. Smith's focus includes bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), as well as hormonal injections such as Sermorelin and Tesamorelin — treatments that address growth hormone deficiency, support metabolic function, and are increasingly sought by patients looking to manage the effects of hormonal decline proactively and under medical supervision. The consultation is designed to be informative rather than prescriptive — a starting point. Whether you're already exploring BHRT and want a second perspective, or you're earlier in the process and simply want to understand what hormonal therapy involves from a practitioner who specialises in it, this is a worthwhile first step. Jova Medical operates at 1067 Valetta Street in London, Ontario, with in-clinic services available alongside virtual care options like this one. For hormone therapy consultations in Ontario, BHRT options in southwestern Ontario, or simply a physician who approaches hormonal health with the seriousness it deserves, this subscriber perk is worth using. Subscribe to Between the Covers Magazine to book your complimentary consultation with Dr. Alisha Smith.

Not everything makes the front page, and a lot of what does deserves a second look.
Spotlight is the section that pays attention: to media bias, to the stories getting missed, to the voices that should be amplified and aren't.
This is editorial content with a point of view, written for women who want more from their media diet.
We dig into how media bias shapes what we know and believe, point you toward the best independent news sources actually worth your time, and engage honestly with feminist ideas, what intersectionality means in practice, who feminism serves and who it leaves out.
Understanding media bias isn't paranoia.
It's literacy.
And this section is committed to building it.
