Our podcast is inspired by Proverbs 27:17, which states, 'As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.' We hold the belief that when we come together and discuss our goals, we have the power to sharpen each other's abilities to help us become the women we aspire to be. Real sisters. Real talk. Real life. We cover an array of topics including family, relationships, literature, marriage, children, and a whole lot more! Formally known as: MY STRONG SISTERS
