The Formation Helps You Walk The Extra Mile

By TFR Shoes
Behind every great woman is her Community

As a wearer of TFR Shoes, we already know you're a trailblazer - and let’s face it, sometimes being out front can feel isolating. As modern women, every aspect of our lives demands 100%.  How do we manage being the best businesswoman, mother, friend, daughter, and astronaut-by-day-rockstar-by-night that we can be? 

Strength in Numbers

Research shows that women are more successful, happier, and even healthier when they have a supportive community. One study found that women with a strong personal network are more than twice as likely to obtain higher authority positions and increased pay, particularly if their friends are in leadership roles themselves. Strong friendship circles help us stay informed, combat stress, boost confidence, and tackle good old imposter syndrome.

Personal  networks are also good for our health. When we bond with others, we release oxytocin, which helps reduce stress and promote positive emotions. Friendships create greater feelings of trust and empathy, enhance memory performance, even strengthen our immune systems. It is chemically proven that women are empowered physically and mentally by their relationships with other women. Our goal:  Friendships that Empower.
