#152 3 Simple Ways to Rebuild Connection in Midlife
Update: 2025-09-23
Description
One of the biggest surprises of midlife is how friendships shift—and how lonely it can sometimes feel. If your circle feels smaller than you expected, you’re not the only one. In this episode, Shelly shares encouragement and three simple ways to start building connection again. Because loneliness isn’t your identity—it’s just a signal that your soul is ready for connection.
Key Takeaways:
- 💛 You’re not alone—many women in midlife quietly carry the same ache for deeper connection.
- 🌱 Your worth isn’t measured by the size of your circle. One-to-one friendships can be some of the most meaningful relationships of this season.
- 👣 Try these three small steps this week:
- Send a quick text or Voxer message to let someone know you’re thinking of them.
- Invite a friend on a walk—low-pressure, shoulder-to-shoulder connection.
- Start something consistent, like a monthly coffee date or weekly check-in.
🙋♀️ Remember: someone has to go first—and the friend you’re thinking of may be waiting for you to reach out, too.
