My name is Victoria
It’s so hard nowadays, almost being in your 40s trying to make friends. And I’m talking the whole some type of friend not the one who are gonna backstab or talk behind your back or gossip. I’m talking about women who want to level up their conversation, educate one another. And shoot the shit. Looking for women who would want to meet up we are in Southern California. I work a ton. But I would like to be able to plan once a month or maybe a couple times a month depending on the schedules maybe during the week. To go grab coffee or, go to the bookstore and grab a book to read, or maybe even go to dinner or if there’s like a fair or whatever. I put this out there. Because putting myself out there being vulnerable is a step in the right direction for me to try to make friends at this point. I am in recovery. So I do not drink and I do not do extra curricular activities that involve any mind altering things. But I do want to cultivate friendships. It’s a lonely road when you are in a healing journey, leveling up, and trying to find who your tribe in your circle are now that you are thinking different and moving different. If this is you leave me a comment. Let me know if we could be friends put a heart so I know that you’re in Southern California and maybe you’d like to hang out sometime #women #makingfriends #socal #confidence #real
Building genuine friendships as an adult, especially approaching your 40s, can be challenging. Many women find themselves seeking deeper connections that go beyond superficial interactions or gossip. For those in recovery, like Victoria, the journey to cultivate friendships often involves finding like-minded individuals who respect sobriety and personal growth. Southern California offers a vibrant social landscape with numerous opportunities to foster such connections. Local meetup groups, wellness centers, bookstores, and coffee shops can serve as ideal venues to meet women interested in meaningful conversation and mutual support. Prioritizing activities such as attending fairs, exploring new books, or sharing dinner plans can create natural and fulfilling ways to connect. Friendship during recovery is critical—it provides encouragement, accountability, and a safe space to share experiences without judgment. Recovery-friendly friendships avoid alcohol and mind-altering substances, ensuring that social activities support rather than hinder personal healing. For women seeking to expand their tribe, focusing on quality over quantity is key. Engaging in community events related to wellness, confidence-building workshops, or creative pursuits can help connect with others who share similar values and aspirations. Vulnerability is a powerful tool; sharing hopes and challenges openly can lead to authentic bonds. If you are a woman in Southern California looking to cultivate sincere friendships centered on growth, recovery, and enjoyment of simple pleasures, consider reaching out and joining local groups or posting similar invitations. Together, women can create supportive networks that empower each other to level up, heal, and thrive.

Do you mind having women’s of color in your circle? That’s truly wholesome love you and a good friend.
