We believe that women helping each other is paramount in our lives. Listen to hear why and how to have more of this experience in your life:

MIND: Seek support, ditch competition

When we are playing and truly having fun --laughing, dancing (the kind when you’re not self-conscious), sharing, bonding, giving a shoulder or a foot massage-- there’s no hierarchy. No one is better than or less than.

We need people (women) that we can have fun with.

We need people (women) that we can feel safe with, that we can share with.

When we are sharing our love and our stories and our insights and our struggles, there’s no better than, less than, it’s just love. And it’s simultaneously humbling and ennobling.

If we find ourselves in a "one up, one down" or "hierarchy" mode (thinking we are better-than or less-than), chances are we haven't had enough serotonin, or feel-good hormones, in our bodies. This is a natural default that our brains tend to fall into when we are low on serotonin.

BODY: Make contact, be seen

If we are going to support each other and feel supported, we have to have contact with each other.

Find ways to boost serotonin!  This could be through physical contact like hugs, foot rubs, swapping massages. Or it could be phone calls, texts, conversations, questions, being interested, listening-- simply making the effort to have contact in some way.

Feeling alone or isolated has serious physical and mental health consequences. We aren’t intended to go through life alone; we need each other.

PURPOSE: Give love, receive love

Ask yourself if you are needing to work on giving more love, or practice receiving more love? When we give genuinely, and the receiver is a graciously receives, the exchange can be beautiful and somewhat magical. The same is true for being a genuinely gracious recipient. We can only give as deeply as we can receive.
