About this episode

Julie Stewart has the superpower of making new friends and new connections with people - all people. In this podcast she shares skills that are good advice for any age, but especially for women over 50 that are entering new phases in life and want to explore new interests and find new friends to last into the second half of life.  There are so many takeaways from this podcast and I encourage you to listen for your "nuggets", but Julie's biggest piece of advice for women over 50 who are determined to become more social is this:  Make yourself accountable to other people to force yourself to be more social because being social is the #1 factor for maintaining your cognitive skills as you get older. So make it a priority. Schedule meet ups. Encourage conversation. Julie is always looking for adventure race partners, accountability partners, just anyone that may want to hang out, chat, and do something fun.
