A quiet reflection from my work recently.
Hearing stories of a long-held friendship moved me deeply. Not because of how it ended, but because of how much life, laughter, and connection was shared along the way.
The way her eyes lit up when she spoke about her friend said everything. There was a depth there - the kind of connection only women seem to create together. The kind that lets you be wholly yourself, settles your nervous system, and feels like a deep exhale.
We often think self-care is something we do alone, but being connected, supported, and uplifted by other women is one of the most powerful forms of care there is.
Cherish your friendships. They are a key part of a well lived life.
