As we get older, change how you dress, change how you take care of yourself, change how your makeup is, change how you take care of your hair.

So that's where I think you lose, if you will, the power of the connection of friendships and women and friendships in general.

So when do I? So when do I realize I need my people? Because I really do think there's something powerful, really powerful that happens when women gather together.

And maybe, you know, one of the best parts, I think, of getting older, and there are some good parts of getting older, but you really do realize and embrace the fact that connections actually get deeper, not smaller.
