S2 EP10 | The Power of Female Friendship...

Womena
About this episode

In this episode, we open up about the women who’ve carried us through heartbreak, growth, and change — and the ones we’ve had to let go of along the way. We talk about how female friendships shape our sense of belonging, and why they’re often misunderstood or reduced to envy and competition. We examine how love between women endures, even in its imperfection. It’s about letting go with grace, holding on with care, and finding strength in sisterhood and chosen family.

Hosted by Elissa Freiha (@freiha) and Amira Salah-Ahmed (@amiralx)
