EP #403: “The Ethel” from AARP: Giving a Voice To Women 50+ To Navigate Loneliness

Loneliness is a common experience for older women. Today's
interview is with two women who are involved with AARP’s Ethel
Gathering Groups, an initiative that is working well to help
navigate loneliness with women over 50.


 Lisa Marcellino, who, after facing isolation following her
divorce and while caregiving for her parents, found a powerful
sense of connection and lifelong friendships in her 60s through
AARP's Ethel Gathering Groups. She’s a living example of how it’s
never too late to create meaningful relationships. In this
conversation, we’ll explore how Lisa overcame loneliness and the
impact of community as she navigated this chapter of life.


We’re also joined by Shelley Emling, Editor-in-Chief of The Ethel
Circle at AARP, who will offer expert insights into the
loneliness epidemic among older women and explain how programs
like AARP’s Ethel Gathering Groups are making a difference in
combating this issue.
