Meaning and Moxie After 50

The Silent Epidemic: Why So Many Women Over 50 Feel Lonely—And How to Change It (#8 of Top Ten from 2025)


Listen Later

Loneliness after 50 is one of those topics few people talk about, yet almost everyone feels. In this episode of Meaning and Moxie After 50, Leslie Maloney gets real about what it means to feel disconnected in midlife — when the kids are grown, work routines fade, and social circles shift. She explores why loneliness hits so many women at this stage, the emotional and physical toll it can take, and why it’s not a sign of weakness but a powerful signal that something in your life is ready for renewal.

Through honest reflection and heartfelt encouragement, Leslie shares how to start rebuilding connection — with yourself, with others, and with the world around you. Whether you’ve been craving more friendship, purpose, or simply a sense of belonging, this episode will remind you that loneliness isn’t the end of the story.
