Creating New Friendships with AARP's Shelley Emling

Last week's episode shared how to break up with friends. 

This week, we are talking about making new ones. 

Our guest this week is AARP's Executive Editor of The Girlfriend and The Ethel, Shelley Emling.  The Ethel's new Gathering Groups are a modern and easy way for women 55+ to make new female friends and build a supportive community. The Girlfriend's platform offers the same for the 40+ group.

Think "Bumble BFF" for midlife and beyond.  

From online to in person connections, these platforms are offering creative ways to combat loneliness and create new adventures.
