In this episode, guest host Yasmyne explores the importance of curating authentic relationships with women and understanding that not every woman will become your sister at first meet. Embracing the notion that cultivating relationships organically and gradually, rather than instantaneously, is key to building a long-lasting sisterhood. Yasmyne shares her personal journey of forming meaningful relationships in her early twenties post-undergrad, and how she finally reached a place where her friendships are reciprocal and genuine. Join Yasmyne as she discusses the challenges and triumphs of finding a loving community, and see that this kind of connection is possible for you too. This week’s Affirmation: “I cultivate meaningful relationships that build community.” Key Takeaways:Sisterhood Is Not Linear: Understanding the journey of friendships in your twenties can be challenging but worthwhile if you're open to being vulnerable.
