Last year, during a routine physical, I was asked a couple of questions that made me stop and reflect: "How many times per week do you talk to family and friends? What is the freuencey of social gatherings with friends and family?" At first glance, they seemed like simple questions, but it led me to think deeply about my relationships and how much—or how little—I was truly connecting with those I care about.
Back then, my answers weren't what I wanted them to be. Life had become so busy that my connections with friends had taken a backseat. This realization stayed with me, driving home the importance of nurturing the friendships that bring so much meaning to our lives. It was part of the reason I decided to build something that could help not just me, but others, maintain and strengthen those bonds—the Girlfriend Hub.
This year, when I encountered those same questions during my physical, my answers had changed in the most profound way. And the Girlfriend Hub played a big role in that transformation.
Last year, when I first faced those questions, it was a bit of a wake-up call. I realized that I wasn’t as connected to my friends as I wanted to be. The demands of everyday life had pushed those relationships to the side, and I found myself missing the deep, meaningful connections that had once been so central to my life.
It was one of the many reasons that motivated me to create the Girlfriend Hub—a space designed to help women like me stay connected, support each other, and build lasting friendships. I knew I wasn’t alone in feeling the need for a community where friendships could be nurtured and celebrated, no matter how busy life gets.
This year, when I was asked again how often I talk to someone else and how often I attend social gatherings, my answers were completely different. Thanks to the Girlfriend Hub, I found myself connecting with other women more frequently—women who have become not just friends, but a vital part of my daily life.
The Girlfriend Hub wasn’t just an idea; it was born out of a genuine need I felt in my own life, and seeing it come to life has been one of the most rewarding experiences. It has reminded me—and so many others—of the importance of maintaining those connections that enrich our lives in countless ways.
The Girlfriend Hub has reinforced for me the critical role that friendships play in our overall well-being, particularly as we get older. Here’s why these connections are so essential:
Emotional Support: Having a network of friends to lean on makes all the difference when life gets tough. Whether it’s a quick message to share a laugh or a deep conversation when things get hard, these interactions are vital for our emotional health.
Sense of Belonging: The Girlfriend Hub provides a strong sense of community, where every member knows they’re not alone. It’s a place where you’re understood and valued, just as you are.
Shared Experiences: The friendships formed through the Girlfriend Hub are grounded in shared experiences and mutual support. We celebrate each other’s successes, offer comfort during challenges, and provide a space where we can be ourselves.
If those questions about how often you talk to someone else and how often you attend social gatherings made you pause, just like it did for me last year, I encourage you to take action today. The Girlfriend Hub is a place where you can easily nurture your friendships and even forge new ones. Here’s how it can help:
Daily Connection: The Girlfriend Hub makes it easy to stay in touch with a supportive community of women. Whether it’s through group chats, video calls, or just a quick message, you’ll find it simple to keep your connections strong.
Planned Meet-ups: The Hub organizes regular events, both online and in person, where you can meet new people and deepen your existing friendships. These gatherings are perfect for reconnecting and making time for the people who matter most.
A Supportive Community: One of the best things about the Girlfriend Hub is the sense of belonging. You’ll find a group of women who are just as eager as you are to build and maintain meaningful relationships.
Building the Girlfriend Hub was a personal journey for me, born out of the realization that we all need a space to nurture our friendships. It has transformed my life in the most profound way, turning a simple question into a daily practice of connection and support.
If you’ve been feeling like your friendships could use a little more attention, or if you’re looking for a community where you can meet like-minded women, I encourage you to join the Girlfriend Hub. It’s a place where friendships thrive, and where your answer to those simple questions
might change, just like mine did. Let’s make our connections a priority—together.
