About Us
Truthfully, I never set out to start a community for women over 50. I got married at 47 and moved to Arkansas, a place where I didn’t know a single soul, not even the mailman. I was working from home too, which sounds cozy until you realize it means your longest conversation some days is with the dog, and the dog never texts back. Making friends as an adult is hard enough. Doing it from behind a laptop, in a brand new state, at an age where everyone already seems to have their people figured out? That’s a whole different kind of lonely, the kind nobody warns you about. So I went looking for other women who might be in the same boat, half expecting to find nobody and a lot of tumbleweeds. Turns out there were tons of us out there, all quietly wondering the same thing. That’s how Gal Pals over 50 came to be. Not some big master plan, just one woman who needed friends and figured other women probably did too.
So here’s the thing about turning 50 (or 60, or 70): somewhere along the way, nobody tells you that you might need to rebuild your whole friend group at this stage of life too, right around the time you also can’t read a menu without your glasses. Careers shift, marriages change shape, towns change, kids grow up and move on, and suddenly you’re standing there wondering where all your people went. That’s exactly why this group exists. It isn’t a club with a secret handshake (though we’re not opposed to inventing one) or a place where you have to have it all figured out. It’s just a bunch of women who get it, showing up for each other as we navigate whatever this next chapter actually is. We laugh a lot, we’re honest about the hard stuff, and we firmly believe you’re not “too old” for a single thing you’re dreaming about, whether that’s a new friendship, a new hobby, or finally figuring out what you want to be when you grow up. Because here’s the good news nobody tells you either: this stage of life can be the most fun one yet, especially with the right people cheering you on. Whether you’re looking for real friendship, a little encouragement, or just proof that you’re not the only one googling “is this normal at my age,” you’re in the right place. You’re not forgotten, you’re just ready for something better. We’ve got a seat saved and it’s the good one.
