Melinda French Gates carves out time every Monday morning to walk with her three longtime female friends, celebrating their friendship over decades. In an interview, she shares how essential this bond is for navigating life's challenges. Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King share their experiences, emphasizing the significant role of support in their journeys. Winfrey recalls how King encouraged her to take a career opportunity, highlighting how genuine friendship fosters happiness for one another. French Gates refers to her friends as a "truth council," essential for making tough decisions.
"I've been incredibly lucky to have three female friends now for over 30 years. If you're in town, you walk."
"The reasons why I think our friendship has worked is because Gayle is happier - not happy but happier - for me for any kind of success or victory or challenge I get through than I am for myself."
"They are my truth council. Whenever I'm going to make a really hard decision or make a big transition, I know I have to have the courage to tell them... and they're honest with me."
