The OG Girl Tribe: What Women Can Learn from Elephants🐘

Alright, buckle up, because this is about to be the ultimate sisterhood manifesto. If there were ever an example of how women should roll, elephants have mastered the art. They are the blueprint, the gold standard, the QUEEN energy squad we all deserve.

The Formation: How Women Show Up

Picture this: A mama elephant is about to bring new life into the world. But she’s not alone. Oh no. Her sisters circle up, forming an unbreakable wall of pure female power. They surround her, ensuring that she is protected from every possible threat.

Then, like seasoned warriors, they kick up dirt—confusing any predator foolish enough to think they can mess with this sacred moment. They literally camouflage the scent of birth to protect their sis and her baby.

Let’s pause here. That’s next-level loyalty!

Now, if anyone dares to come for the mama during this time, they’re met with 40 TONS of furious female energy. Imagine rolling with a crew so solid that no threat ever reaches you without first getting through your entire sisterhood standing in front of you.

And When Baby Arrives? Celebration Mode Activated.

When that tiny, wobbly baby elephant finally enters the world, the first thing the squad does is cover it in dust—not to be mean, but to protect its fragile skin from the harsh sun. Then, they all start trumpeting, a chorus of victorious, wild, unapologetic noise.

They celebrate. They cheer. They stand together in joy, just as they did in defense.

This Is What Women Do.

We circle up. We protect. We fight off the forces that threaten our sisters while they are vulnerable—whether they’re birthing a baby, a dream, a career, a new chapter, or simply trying to heal.

If life comes for our sis, it has to go through us first.

And when she rises—when the struggle is over, when healing happens, when she stands tall again—WE CELEBRATE LOUDLY!

We raise our glasses, we hug, we dance, we scream our joy for the world to hear.

How to Find or Create Your Own Girl Tribe

Maybe you don’t have your elephant-level squad yet. Maybe you’ve been flying solo or felt like no one has truly had your back. If that’s the case, I see you—and I want you to know something:

You can build your circle. You can find your people.

Here’s how:

1. Look for Women Who Inspire You.

That friend who hypes you up when you feel small? That coworker who radiates confidence and kindness? That woman at the coffee shop who looks like she runs an empire?

Start paying attention to the women who make you feel seen, safe, and supported—they might just be part of your future tribe.

2. Show Up for Others FIRST.

Want people to circle up for you when life gets wild? Start by being the one who circles up for others. Celebrate their wins, encourage their dreams, stand beside them when life knocks them down.

3. Make Connection a Priority.

Friendships don’t just happen—they’re built. Reach out, follow up, plan the coffee dates. Be intentional about creating a culture of sisterhood in your own world.

4. Know Your Energy Is Worth Protecting.

Not all circles are safe circles. If someone is constantly draining you, tearing you down, or making you question your worth, they are not your people. Let them go—your tribe should leave you feeling stronger, not weaker.

5. Start Your Own Movement.

If you don’t see a space where women uplift each other the way you wish they would, CREATE IT. Start the book club. Host the brunch. Make the group chat. Be the leader who sets the tone for what sisterhood should look like.

We Are Never Alone.

This is the kind of sisterhood that builds unstoppable women. The kind that teaches us that no matter how tough the world gets, we always have people backing us.

If you’ve got women standing around you right now—protecting you, cheering for you, holding space for you—know this: You are part of something ancient, unbreakable, powerful.

No community compares to a community of women.

Let's go girls!
