Throughout my life, I’ve encountered countless remarkable women. Some have become lifelong companions, while others were brief encounters—like the one I had just yesterday while trying on stilettos. Another woman was also trying on the same pair, gazing at her reflection. Instead of waiting for her to finish so I could check myself out, I stepped right up beside her.
We struck up a conversation about the joys of wearing heels—the boost they give our confidence, the fun they add to our outfits, and how they elongate our legs. We didn’t dwell on the downsides like the harsh winter weather up North or comfort issues. In fact, we had such a blast that we both ended up purchasing multiple pairs.
As we parted ways, I thought to myself, “Wow, I didn’t even get her contact info.” She was like a soul sister. The easy energy we shared was indicative of what it truly means to have a genuine connection.
The Essence of a True Soul Sister
A true soul sister is someone who won’t bat an eye if you send her selfies from a fitting room, accompanied by a message saying, “Hey, you should check out these bras! They really enhance your figure. You’d love them!”
She’s the kind of friend who doesn’t mind if you show up at her place for a binge-watching session of your favorite show, sans a bra. A true soul sister knows she can vent to you, and you’ll offer the support she needs, just as she has for you in the past.
There’s no need for constant check-ins; she understands that you don’t have to talk every week or even every month. She’ll text you knowing you might be busy, but she trusts that you’ll respond when you can.
A true soul sister can read your mood from your voice or body language. She knows when you’re upset and how to help diffuse your anger. You’ve saved each other from losing your tempers more than once.
She understands when you need a moment of silence, offering a listening ear without the pressure to have all the answers. And she knows what you need, even when she can’t physically be there for you. Just knowing she’s got your back is often enough.
A true soul sister encourages you to indulge a little—whether it’s eating that chocolate, buying the sexy lingerie, or running that race. She also knows when it’s time for you to take a step back and chill out.
The Impact of a Soul Sister
Being around a true soul sister shifts your energy. Regardless of whether she’s your younger sibling, an old friend from art class, or even someone you just met while shoe shopping, she’s a person who embraces you for who you are.
Every woman deserves to have a soul sister in her life. I’m genuinely grateful for the strong women who shape me into a better individual. These friendships are invaluable. When fortunate enough to have one (or several), we learn to appreciate their presence. We show up for one another and express our love in various ways—sometimes it’s by offering to knock someone down a peg or treating them to a coffee on a hard day. Other times, it’s simply being there to let them cry, without worrying about the mess.
A true soul sister is like the best kind of therapy—especially if one of you remembers to bring the wine.
