Finding Your Circle

Building Lasting Friendships in Midlife

Connection Isn’t Just for Your Twenties—It’s for the Life You’re Living Now.

If your friend group has gotten smaller, your texts quieter, or your coffee chats fewer and farther between—you’re not alone. In fact, you’re exactly where many women over 40 find themselves: craving authentic friendships but unsure where to start.

In Finding Your Circle, author Karla K. McNeese offers a compassionate, candid guide to rediscovering connection, building new friendships, and letting go of what no longer serves you. With honesty, humor, and a dose of midlife wisdom, she explores how to cultivate meaningful relationships that feel safe, nourishing, and real.

Whether you’re newly single, entering a new season, or just feeling a little lonely in a busy world, this book will help you:

• Heal from past friendship wounds and disappointments

• Recognize the kinds of friends you truly need (and how to find them)

• Start deeper conversations and create sacred social spaces—book clubs, spiritual circles, and travel buddies included

• Build a supportive community even if you’re introverted, chronically ill, or starting over

• Embrace solitude without feeling “less than”

It’s never too late to find your people. Your circle is waiting.
