Friendship in midlife is different.
And I don’t think any of us were prepared for that.
In this episode, I brought three incredible women back to the mic, Tori, Trilby, and Carole, for my very first Blueprint Breakers roundtable conversation. And we dove into something I see women talking about constantly online: Friendship.
Why does it feel harder now?Why do some friendships quietly fade?Why does it sometimes feel like we’re the only ones making the effort?And how do we actually build meaningful connection at this stage of life?
About Tori Westminster
Tori is a 5-star thriller author who has spent the last 6 years of her writing journey building other writers up through social media, groups, and, more recently, through Bunker Squirrel Magazine and Patreon. These were not strategies meant to drive revenue, but avenues to build community. Tori believes that writing in isolation does not produce good books and is not good for the soul. So, creating a safe space for writers was only logical.

About Trilby Johnson – Breakthrough Savvy
When nothing you know works any more, Trilby Johnson — the Energy Architect — guides midlife Gen X women through pivotal internal shifts to gain unique clarity, self-trust, and autonomy, so they no longer feel frustrated or at the mercy of circumstances and design their own personal toolkit for living life fully on their terms.
Drawing on decades of integrative holistic therapies, corporate experience, extensive studies in cognitive and alternative modalities, and her own personal evolution, she brings deep insight and practical wisdom to her work. She is also the author of Fearlessly Alone – Finding You Happy No Matter What, among other titles. To connect with Trilby: https://linktr.ee/fearlesslyme
About Carole Rosenblat
Carole Rosenblat is a traveler, writer, journalist, tour company owner, and speaker. Two things all of these have in common are travel and female empowerment.
She traveled around the world without a plan for her blog, Drop Me Anywhere, where readers voted to choose the destinations. She left to explore them within two weeks (sometimes a day) following the voting results. As a result of overwhelming feedback, especially from women over 40, Carole opened Drop Me Anywhere Tours for Women.
