Self-Care is not Solo: Why Women Need Each Other More Than Ever

What if the very thing we’ve been taught to see as weakness, needing support, is actually the key to our strength? In this episode, I’m diving into why community-based wellness is more important than ever for women. We’ll explore the myth of “doing it all alone,” the science behind collective care, and the ancient wisdom of women in Okinawa, Japan who form lifelong friendship circles called moai, groups that literally support them through every stage of life. You’ll learn: 🌿 Why isolation is harming us, and how sisterhood heals. 🌿 The powerful rituals and routines that restore trust, resilience, and joy. 🌿 Five practical ways to start building your own women’s circle today. 🌿 How reclaiming community is the path to reclaiming our power. And before we dive in, I share details about an upcoming end-of-summer retreat in 2026 in the Catskills. It’s going to be a space for women to rest, reconnect, and rise together.
