A few days ago my six-year-old granddaughter looked up at me and asked, "Savta, when will I start making friends?" She had just left a place where she had her friends, and she was feeling the ache of starting over. That question is the very same one so many of us are quietly asking in our sixties.

It opens a new four-part mini-series on the podcast about making friends in midlife, all from one conversation with happiness coach Ricki Radosh. Part one asks the most basic question of all: do you really have the friends you think you do?

Ricki spent decades certain she had none. Then she pulled out the scrapbooks she had kept since she was twelve and found page after page of proof that she had been surrounded by people all along. As she said, "You walk around with one story in your head, and if that's not the story you want, change the story."

Here is your question for the week: what is the story you have been telling yourself about friendships, and is it the one you want to keep?

I just got home from family camp with all four of my granddaughters in one place. I had been dreaming about that for years, and the only reason it happened is a family crisis I would never have chosen. Both of those things are true at the same time.

After forty years as a nurse, I know how to respond in a crisis. The skill nobody trained me for is the harder one: not responding. Standing next to my adult children's lives with my hands at my sides, waiting to be asked.

This week's solo episode is about grieving the version of this season I quietly planned for, the little bird on my shoulder that reminds me not to reach for control, and one thing I had never said out loud. When a caregiving season eats the bandwidth you needed for friendship, that is not failure. That is arithmetic.

Real disappointment and real gratitude can sit at the same table, and you do not have to make either one leave.

I’ve been enjoying the iced coffee with soy milk in Rye and the pumpernickel bagels from Hand Rolled Bagels. Thankfully they have power this morning ⚡️

I thought I was taking a solo trip to New York. Turned out I was taking a friendship trip in disguise.

In this week’s episode I share what ten days in New York taught me about keeping the friendships that matter — when the overlap is gone and connection starts requiring intention.

This season we have been talking about the real challenges of making friends in midlife. This episode is the other half: how do you keep the people you already love when life keeps pulling everyone in different directions?

Here is the truth I keep coming back to: when proximity goes away, intention has to take its place. And the first step is getting honest about who is actually worth the effort.

I always love going to a Monet exhibit. When I asked my favorite artist and we always learned something new about him and his paintings.

At 85, my mother Lorraine lives her best life: purple hair, daily golf, and befriending yourself. A joyful conversation on vibrant aging after 60.

06/23/2026

My mom is 85, golfs almost every day, and dyes her hair purple. Ask her the secret and she says: you can never be lonely with purple hair.

Movement. Connection. Purpose. The three things the research says we need to age well.

My 85-year-old mother built all three into one daily habit: golf.

Bad back and all, she plays on her own terms and stops the second it hurts.

That is not slowing down.

That is wisdom.

She is my guest this week on Sexy in Your 60s, and she has taught me more about aging well than any study has.
