Research shows that having close female friendships boosts your confidence, happiness, and overall health. When women spend time together, it increases serotonin and oxytocin (the bonding hormone), which lifts their mood and promotes positive behavior. On the flip side, women who feel isolated and lack female connections are more likely to experience depression and have weaker immune systems. In this episode, two BFFs share their experiences, advice, tips and secrets to cultivating meaningful female friendships and harnessing them towards solid happiness: Colourette Cosmetics CEO Nina Ellaine Dizon, and morena advocate and anti-colorism activist and beauty queen Ayn Bernos, both million-follower content creators, entrepreneurs, authors, self-empowerment advocates who are individual powerhouses in their own right.
