One minute, you’re breezing through life with boundless energy, and the next, you’re standing in your own living room, furrowing your brows, wondering why on Earth you walked in there. Was it to grab something? Did you hear a noise? Is it possible you’re here to…contemplate wallpaper patterns? Only you’ll never know, because the minute you stepped over the threshold, your brain hit delete on the reason you came. As women, we often feel the weight of societal expectations to “do it all.” And maybe, just maybe, our brains are getting back at us by playing pranks as we age.

As we journey through life, the value of genuine friendships becomes increasingly evident. Midlife, with its unique challenges and transitions, is a period where the support of close friends can be particularly transformative. For me, the bond I share with four friends from my boarding high school days in the 80s has been a constant source of strength and joy. Despite the passage of time, our friendship feels timeless, and every conference call feels like a reunion where we pick up right where we left off. The Timeless Bond We met in our early teens, navigating the complexities of adolescence in a boarding school environment.

We’ve supported each other through the highs and lows, from the joys of motherhood to the struggles of pregnancy and infertility.

With our bodies going through countless changes, one significant change we experience as women is the gradual decline of collagen production. But, what is Collagen?
