Women Are My Friends, Not My Antagonists

Women Are My Friends, Not My Antagonists

In a world that often casts women as competitors, it's radical to see each other as friends and allies. Real connections—grounded in trust, support, and abundance—begin by nurturing a friendship with ourselves. For years, I struggled with codependency and envy, convinced that success and joy were limited resources. I was “celebrating” other women, but secretly comparing myself, a mindset that left me feeling small.

The journey shifted when I realized: when I truly loved myself, I could genuinely celebrate others without feeling less-than. Platforms like MondayGirl and Mentor Walks are revolutionizing this approach in the workplace, fostering spaces where women lift each other higher. Together, we’re redefining what it means to show up for one another and prove that, when one of us wins, we all do.
