In today’s fast-paced world, the importance of authentic sisterhood is more vital than ever. But what exactly is true sisterhood, and why is it so crucial?

I was part of a mentorship program where our coach paired each of us with a “sister.” My assigned sister, though not someone I initially connected with, seemed purposefully chosen by our coach. The program encouraged weekly sisterhood meetings for support, but my assigned sister posed the biggest challenge for me.

My sister consistently offered advice and solutions, which, during a difficult period in my life, felt harsh and hurtful. I shared it with our coach, who clarified that the role of sisters is to be present and listen, not to provide mentorship or advice. The coach emphasized that we have them for guidance.

The dark times will fade, and we’ll emerge stronger. The presence of a true sister, filled with unconditional love, helps us stay grounded, release stress, and stand up with ease during challenging times.

Sadly, these days, there’s an abundance of advisers. I admit I’ve made this mistake frequently, especially when with someone a few steps behind. It’s easy not to realize how much we might unknowingly hurt others. However, since discovering the strength of true sisterhood and recalling how my true sisters helped me move forward just by being there, I’m dedicated to being a true sister to others. I wanted to let you know about the healing power of true sisterhood, just in case you weren’t aware.

In the past, when feminine energy prevailed among women, true sisterhood thrived. However, in today’s society, with the rise of masculine energy among women, it has been forgotten. It’s now time for each of us to bring back the essence of true sisterhood, creating a more beautiful and pleasant world for everyone.
