Tanya’s Key Insights and Ahas:
2:30 – a lofty intention around sisterhood
What if you saw every single woman on this planet as your sister? What if every woman honored each other as sisters? This doesn’t mean you have to be friends with every woman, that you have to like every woman, that you have to agree with every woman, that you need to speak with every woman.
