Sometimes the best conversations happen when you least expect them.

I recently recorded a YouTube video where I was dropping a small amount of money into one of my savings challenges. While I was doing it, I started talking about something completely different — making friends after 60.

Funny how life does that. As I was talking, I found myself thinking about something my Mom told me when I moved to Arizona. She said it was important that I cultivate friendships in this new chapter of life. And she was right.

Moving to a new place later in life can feel a little lonely at first. The friendships you’ve had for years may be miles away, and suddenly you realize that building a new circle takes intention. But it can happen.

Since moving here, I’ve met some wonderful women through things like fitness classes and simply being open to conversation. It reminded me that friendships don’t stop forming just because we’re older, sometimes they just take a little more effort.

That small moment in my video turned into a bigger reflection about friendship, connection, and why relationships still matter at every stage of life.

If you’d like to hear the full conversation, you can watch the clip here.

And if you haven’t already read it, I also wrote a blog about how friendships change after 60 the ones that stay, the ones we lose, and the ones that still feel like home.

Because no matter our age, having people in our lives who understand us is one of the greatest gifts there is.
