We’re Celebrating 4 Years of Navigating Solo, October 21, 2025!
On October 21, 2025, the Navigating Solo Network celebrates four years of empowering, informing, connecting and raising visibility for solo agers across the country.
What began as a vision to create a supportive space for adults aging without traditional family supports has grown into a national / international community offering resources, connection, and inspiration.
Over the past four years, we’ve:
Hosted free monthly virtual gatherings for solo agers nationwide
Launched The Navigating Solo™ Podcast to share expert insights and solo aging stories
Built a resource-rich website with planning tools, articles, and a growing member network
Developed a framework for regional groups to foster local connection
Published the Navigating Solo Planning Workbook and the Navigating Solo Planning Series to help individuals plan confidently for the future
This milestone wouldn’t be possible without you — the solo agers, allies, and professionals who engage, share, and contribute to this vibrant community.
As we enter our fifth year, Navigating Solo remains committed to helping solo agers plan, connect, and thrive.
With gratitude,
