Ever heard the saying, "Behind every successful woman is a tribe of other successful women who have her back"? Female friendships have always been powerful, and studies show that women with strong social circles are healthier and happier. The Nurses' Health Study from Harvard found that women with more friends were less likely to develop physical impairments as they aged and were more likely to lead joyful lives. 👯‍♀️

A UCLA study discovered that women respond to stress differently than men, thanks to a brain chemical called oxytocin. When women face stress, they’re more likely to seek out their friends, which helps release even more oxytocin, creating a calming and comforting effect.

After a tough day, gathering with your besties for a chat over coffee doesn’t just feel good—it’s actually beneficial for you! This “tend and befriend” response helps reduce the harmful effects of stress on our bodies and can help us live longer and healthier lives.

So plan a girls' night out, grab those margaritas, hit the dance floor, and cherish those laughter-filled moments. 🍹💃 In the end, our girlfriends are not just our partners in crime but also our wellness warriors.

At Squeem, we celebrate the power of friendship and the strength it brings. Cheers! 🥂
