61 | The Beauty of Belonging: How to Build Friendships in Midlife with Cecelia Curtis

Hello Beautiful!

Is friendship supposed to feel this hard in midlife?

Whether you’re navigating an empty nest, moving into a new season of life, or just realizing that the built-in friendships from motherhood, work, or church aren’t there anymore—this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, I’m joined by Cecelia Curtis, host of The Friendship Tour podcast, for a powerful and honest chat about what friendship looks like in midlife—and how to rebuild the kind of connection that truly makes life beautiful again.

We talk about:

• Why friendship shifts in your 40s, 50s, and beyond
• The emotional toll of losing built-in friendships
• How COVID and digital life changed the way women connect
• Myths we believe that keep us stuck in loneliness
• Practical, real-life ways to build meaningful friendships
• Why friendship is part of self-care and spiritual growth

Whether you’ve felt lonely, hesitant to reach out, or just unsure where to start—this episode offers real hope and fresh perspective.

XO,

Michelle
