Female Friendships nurtures the female biology deeply!
The sad reality is, not everyone values valuable things…
When we work on creating our best lives, we must look beyond health regimens towards things that truly fill our cups. The deeper things in life that matter! One of these valuable things are female friendships.
Female Friendships are LIFE!
There really lies great power in female friendships.
Our kids will not always be there, and our lives can change in so many ways. We may end up extremely lonely and unfulfilled when everything else fall away – if we don’t invest in the value of female friendships.
I was part of Matthew McConaughey’s “The Art of Livin” group a few years ago. What struck me was the number of ladies who were very lonely and had no sense of identity or purpose and immense regret of not cultivating things of their own outside of their husband, family life and kids. Then, as some of those things fell away, kids moved, jobs lost etc., they didn’t have a lot to fall back onto and found themselves quite lost.
This was very sad to me, and I wondered why these women didn’t have a group of close girlfriends cultivated. A great idea is to become a part of networking groups online, or join a forum, or a platform. An amazing resource in proud partnership with Natural Origins, is “BizMomCentral” which is an exclusive Mom-to-Mom Business Connection platform.
Female friendships fill the gaps when life let’s us down.
Not just surface-level connections, but deep, soul-nourishing ones. The kind where you can cry without explanation, laugh until your stomach hurts, and be 100% yourself—no masks, no performance. These friendships are more than just “nice to have”—they are essential to our mental, emotional, and even physical health.
Studies have shown that women who maintain close female friendships are less likely to suffer from depression and anxiety, experience less stress, and even have stronger immune systems. Being in connection with other women releases oxytocin, the “feel-good hormone,” which helps reduce cortisol (our stress hormone) and brings a sense of calm, trust, and belonging. It’s literally medicine.
When we invest in our female friendships, we invest in our own vitality. And that matters. Because as beautiful and important as our roles as mothers, wives, or professionals may be, we are more than those roles. And when life shifts—as it inevitably does—we need something strong and real to anchor us.
Female friendships remind us of who we are when we feel lost.
They hold space for us when we’re healing. They cheer us on when we’re dreaming. They hold the mirror up when we forget our power.
If you’re reading this and feel like your circle has gotten a bit small or quiet, it’s never too late. Reconnect. Reach out. Make the call. YOU be the light. Make yourself part of someone’s reality. Say yes to the coffee date, the walk, the weekend away. Water those friendships. Build new ones if needed. Your health—and your heart—will thank you.
So, as you continue to create your best life, don’t forget this: Nutrition is great. Meditation is beautiful. Exercise is powerful. Work is important. But so is sitting on a couch, barefoot, with your girlfriends, talking about life.
Female friendships aren’t extra. They’re essential. Let’s value them like the treasures they are so that they can fill our LIFE CUP!
But here’s the thing—not all friendships are nourishing. Some are “fair-weather friendships.” These ladies show up when life is light, the champagne and good times are flowing. But when things get hard—when you’re grieving, growing, or just trying to hold it all together—they vanish.
Or worse, some friendships drain you. You walk away feeling smaller, not seen, or even judged. These kinds of relationships can quietly chip away at your wellbeing. And while it’s hard to admit, especially when history or loyalty is involved, not every friendship is meant to go the distance.
Letting go of “good time friendships” that no longer serve you, hold you, or nourish you isn’t selfish—it’s self-protective. Just like we wouldn’t feed our bodies junk every day, we shouldn’t keep feeding our hearts relationships that don’t bring nourishment, honesty, and true care. Being able to let go, heals the heart and play a large role in nervous system balance.

I’ve learned that real female friendships—ones built on reciprocity, kindness, AND presence—are sacred. They’re worth the time. Worth the effort. Worth the occasional uncomfortable conversation. They are part of what sustains us, helps us heal, and inspires us to keep going.
Watch out for warning signs like people who often have new crowds. I call them “Move along friends”. These people are not seeking true, deep, quality friendships that lasts years and they sure don’t value the quality of your presence. They only want what is comfortable for them in the moment and won’t appreciate you in their lives as they just don’t value valuable things in that way…
Nothing fills my cup more than having female friends that lasts into golden years of being part of each other’s lives. Relationships form part of what heals us and is an addition to the other things discussed in the “The Essence of Vibrant Life Masterclass“, that helps to brings balance back into the body.
So let’s keep investing in the good ones. Letting go of the ones that don’t return your investment. But let’s also be the good ones. Our lives—and our health—depend on it.
