“I feel I’ve found my tribe”
“It’s wonderful to know I’m not alone in what I’m experiencing and feeling”
“It’s amazing to meet so many amazing women who immediately feel like friends”
Each month a group of Queenagers gather in person or online for Noon Circles to share their experiences, views and thoughts about the issues and challenges they’re facing as they navigate mid-life.
Each Circle has a theme – although discussion can be wide-ranging – and sometimes they kick off a special guest speaker. Whatever the topic, and whoever is in the group, you can be sure that the conversation will be honest, supportive, encouraging, understanding and enlightening.
Noon Circles are only available to our Queenager newsletter subscribers, so sign up HERE to become one. We’ll see you at a Noon Circle soon!
