As we have babies and find it tricky to leave the house,

or realise our previous group no longer understands who we are.

As we move towns due to the cost of living or to be out of the city.

As we start our own businesses or work from home

for the flexible hours and no commute.

The lonelier we may feel in our day to day lives.

Our identity shifts, our values and interests change,

And we need people who GET US!

Try This at Your Next Women’s Circle!

One thing I acknowledge in my women’s circles,

is this loneliness and isolation that many mothers feel.

By naming it we unshame it.

By openly saying that many of us have friendship gaps as adults,

we can start to close it.

Women’s circles are a wonderful place where new connections are formed.

They’re also spaces where women feel less emotionally and spiritually isolated —

realising they aren’t alone in their thoughts and feelings.

I encourage women to exchange details and stay in touch in between.

I share my own story of not having friends in different seasons.

If you facilitate circles — bring the epidemic of loneliness out from the shadows.

Speak about it!

If you attend circles — share how you feel about your life and truthfully name if you’re lonely.
