We women, need to realize that connection and collaboration are important, not competition. We must realize that helping another woman win, cheering on her, and sharing resources with her, does NOT take away from our blessings. In fact the more we give, the more we receive. These connections provide us with so much emotional support and impact our mental and emotional well-being. We need to say yes to the power of sisterhood – women who are supportive, passionate, and build each other up.

I love my partner and we complete each other, but there is nothing like a conversation with a girlfriend who understands you. Men and women are different. We act differently, think differently, and solve problems differently. Women are more emotional and men are more logical creatures. As women, we love to go more in-depth, and more emotional, and we find comfort in sharing our feelings and experiences with someone who truly gets it. This emotional connection allows us to feel heard, validated, and supported.

I cherish my hour-long phone conversations with my best friends, accidentally drinking 4 bottles of wine and crying and laughing everything out, getting ready for a night out, trips abroad, and all the adventures along the way.

I used to have so many friends and acquaintances but the older I get, the smaller the circle becomes. And that is fine. It’s all about quality, not quantity. But this small circle of women has made everything in life better. No competition, no jealousy, no backstabbing. Just love, support, and respect. That’s why I truly believe in the power of sisterhood and I want to spread the love so we can find more true connections that can make our lives magical. So let’s go a bit deeper on how to build and strengthen meaningful connections with your girlfriends.

How to Build and Strengthen Sisterhood

Be YOURSELF

Authenticity is the key to building strong connections. And it’s the ONLY way to attract the people you truly want to attract. Be yourself and allow others to be themselves around you too. Share your true feelings, experiences, and thoughts. It’s the best way to create deeper and more meaningful connections.

Be supportive

Be there for your friend in good and bad times. Offer a shoulder to cry on when needed and celebrate their success in small and big things. If they win, you win. The more you genuinely are happy for others, the more beautiful things will start happening to you too.

Communicate, communicate, communicate.

Regular communication is crucial for maintaining strong relationships. Make an effort to check in with your friends frequently. Even when you are busy, send them a text and let them know you will be available for them soon. Honesty is key!

Make memories together

Shared experiences build lasting memories and strengthen bonds. Plan activities that you enjoy doing together. Whether it’s a weekend getaway, a movie night or a simple coffee date. These shared moments deepen your connections.

Be trustworthy

Trust is the foundation of any strong relationship. Be someone that your friends can count on. Don’t just say things to be polite, be honest! Being trustworthy builds respect and your friends can truly feel that they can count on you.

Uplift each other

Be each other’s number 1 fan. Engage your friends to pursue their dreams and goals. Offer them feedback and celebrate their achievements. Your support can be the push they need to succeed!

Be grateful

Like with everything, also be grateful for your friends. Showing your appreciation can go a long way in showing that you value and cherish your relationship. A simple thank you or gesture of kindness can strengthen the bond you share.

Final thoughts

We are magical, and we are even more magical together. There is no need to be friends with everyone but be compassionate and authentic. This is the only way to find your tribe.

Think about the women who have impacted your life and reach out to them. Whether it’s a message or appreciation, a call to catch up. Take a step to nurture those connections.

Be a woman who supports other women. Compliment each other, give words of encouragement, and empower each other.

Together we can build a community of strong, supportive, and inspiring women!
