About Me

Hey there, I’m Amy

I started Friends Over 50 to share what I’ve learned about navigating big life changes—adjusting to the empty nest, rediscovering fulfillment, and managing the realities of aging. At 50, I felt stuck, afraid to change, and clinging to things that no longer served me. But change came anyway, and I had to rebuild my life piece by piece.

I write about adult friendship—why it often feels different than we expect, and why connection can feel harder to find even when we’re surrounded by people. Through my work, I explore what’s really happening beneath that experience and how to make sense of it.

I’m sharing my journey in the hopes of encouraging you to redefine your own path. Figuring out what fulfillment looks like isn’t always easy—it’s trial and error, a little like throwing spaghetti at a wall to see what sticks. But every step forward brings clarity, and you are worth the effort.

Along the way, I also share practical ways to navigate adult friendship, along with everyday tech, books, and tools that make life easier.

No matter where you are on your journey, know this: It’s never too late to create a life that feels like yours. So, read along as I work on doing just that—one post at a time.
