Hi, I’m Suzanne…

A Life Coach for Women Over 50, Founder of The Circle of Love Sisterhood, and fellow midlife sister.

Here’s a little more about me and how I got here…

20+ Years of Coaching Women

Helping people connect has always been my passion and life’s work…it just didn’t start with friendship.

In 2002, I launched an online dating site, and then became a matchmaker and dating coach in NYC.

For over two decades, I helped singles put themselves out there, spark real connections, and build lasting relationships.

And here’s what I discovered…whether it’s love or friendship, real genuine connection works the same way.

A New Chapter…and a Major Curveball

At 55, I moved from NYC to Newport Beach, CA…excited for a new chapter and new beginnings.

But instead I was thrown a major curveball when my doctor called and said…

“You got cancer.”

It was the wake-up call I never wanted.

My priorities completely shifted.

Living my best life NOW went straight to the top of the list.

But I didn’t want to do it alone.

I wanted my friends to join me, but they were busy, living their own lives.

And there I was…in a new city, ready to truly live…with no one to share it with.

That’s when connection, support, and friendships became the most important things to me.

I knew I needed to make new friends…I just didn’t know where to start.

And that’s when I realized…

If I was feeling this way, other women my age had to be feeling this way too.

And boy, was I right.

The women in my community shared with me how important making new friends and friendships were to them at this point in their lives.

With retirement around the corner. 

The nest emptying out.

Aging parents needing more care.

So many changes…and fewer friends there to go through them with.

Because the truth is, we’re not meant to navigate these big midlife changes alone. 

And everywhere I turned, I found women my age saying the same things…

“My friend group has gotten smaller.”

“I want to meet new people.”

“I need to make new friends.”

And that’s when it really hit me. The truth is…

No one ever taught us how to make new friends.

Not as children. And certainly not as adults.

So I had to figure it out on my own.

One by one.

Friend by friend.

I built a new local friend circle from scratch.

And everything I learned along the way became the foundation of my passion for life coaching women in midlife today and helping other women like me, do the same.

What I Do Now…

As a Life Coach for Women Over 50, my mission is to help women make new connections, build genuine friendships, and thrive in midlife together.

Because here’s what I know…

Female friendships are everything.

We need them.

We want them.

But making new friends in midlife?

Sometimes it’s not easy. And we just don’t know where to start.

And that’s exactly why I do what I do…

Because I never want another woman to go through the messy ups and downs of midlife alone.

We all need our friends by our side…because it truly makes life better.

On my podcast, Life is Now…Do It While You Can, we have real, honest conversations about all the messy ups and downs of midlife that nobody else is talking about. I’ll be your biggest cheerleader to help you start putting yourself first and taking things off the back burner to  start truly living your life now. 

And inside The Circle of Love Sisterhood, it’s a community of women who come together every month to connect, build genuine friendships and thrive in midlife together. It’s a safe space where you’re seen, heard, and surrounded by women who totally get it, because they’re right there with you.  We are the sisters you never had.
