Let’s Hear It For The Girls - The Importance of Women's Friendships

Updated: Mar 13, 2023

Ladies, gather around! It's time to talk about the importance of having a supportive group of women friends. I know how crucial it is for women to have a tribe of fellow females to rely on. And let's be honest, what would we do without them?


Being a woman in this world can be tough


From societal expectations to balancing work and personal life, the list of challenges goes on and on. The one thing that can make all the difference in a woman’s life is having a supportive group of friends who understand what you’re going through.


Women are natural nurturers, caregivers, and empathizers. We are wired to put the needs of others before our own. But who's there to care for us when we need it most? Our women friends and family members, that's who!


They try, but men just don't understand

Many of us are lucky enough to have wonderful men in our lives too. They would love nothing more than to fix all our problems and solve all our issues, but the fact is that women face unique challenges that men simply can’t relate to. That’s why it’s so important to have a group of women you can count on. They will listen without judgement, offer advice (when asked), and provide a much-needed shoulder to cry on.


There's nothing like being able to share your deepest fears and secrets with someone who truly understands what you're going through because they’ve been there - done that. Whether it's a breakup, job loss, or just feeling overwhelmed, having a supportive group of women to vent to is essential.


And let's not forget the laughter


Women have an uncanny ability to turn the most mundane situations into a hilarious comedy sketch. Have you ever laughed so hard you almost peed your pants? There’s something truly special about being able to let loose and be your authentic self with people who love and accept you for who you are.


As comedian and actress Amy Poehler once said, "As you navigate through the rest of your life, be open to collaboration. Other people and other people's ideas are often better than your own. Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life."


Do yourself a favour and take Amy's advice


I know my life has been richer, fuller, and much more fun because of the incredible women I’ve added to my tribe over the years. Together we’ve created lifelong bonds, unforgettable memories and inside jokes that will keep us laughing for years to come.


So ladies, never under estimate the power of having a supportive group of women standing by your side. They will be there to lift you up when you’re feeling down, celebrate your accomplishments as if they were their own and make you laugh so hard your stomach aches. So, call up your girlfriends, plan a girls' night out, and don't forget to bring the wine!
