How to Make New Friends in Midlife
Have you ever felt awkward and alone trying to make new friends in midlife?
You’re not alone—and you’re definitely not doing anything wrong.
In this episode Suzanne Oshima, Life Coach for Women Over 50 gets personal and sharing the honest truth about what it really takes to meet new friends after 50.
After Suzanne moved from NYC to sunny California in her mid-50s, she thought making new friends would be easy.
Spoiler alert: it wasn’t.
She found herself standing alone at an event, feeling awkward and out of place—and seriously considering leaving.
But she didn’t. She stuck it out. Because when she starts something, she finishes it.
And one small mindset shift changed everything: she took the pressure off herself.
Instead of trying to meet a bunch of people, she made it her goal to simply talk to just one person.
In this episode, she walks you through the baby steps, mindset shifts, and gentle reminders that helped her move through the discomfort—and actually make two new friends at a local running event.
If you’ve been craving new friendships but aren’t sure where to start, this episode will remind you that friendship is possible—especially when you step outside your comfort zone.
And if you’re ready to meet like-minded women who truly get you, don’t miss your chance to join Suzanne’s warm, welcoming community when the doors open again soon!
