Sisterhood has deep, evolutionary roots.
Like mycorrhizal networks in the forest, our survival relies on community.
Similarly, sisterhood community isn't just a network for our happiness and wellbeing…
We all equate oxytocin with mothering - childbirth and breastfeeding, but every woman releases oxytocin during stress.
It’s the “bonding hormone”.
It motivates us to bond and seek nurturing interactions which reduces cortisol...
which translates to reduced anxiety, improved mood, and feelings of security.
This response has deep evolutionary roots.
Sisterhood is medicine.
It has a valuable impact on your mental, emotional, and physical health.
Like the forests, we thrive in the presence of one another.
It's in our roots as women, like the trees.
