A Girlfriends' Guide to Living was born out of the idea that it takes a village — not only to raise a child — but to live the life you deserve. However, many women do not have the same support network of girlfriends that I have been blessed to find and lean on during difficult times, so I am going to lend you mine and invite you to join our tribe.
