Why Friendship Becomes the Most Important Skill in Midlife | Jeff Hamaoui

Midlife rarely falls apart all at once. It slowly grows quieter, fewer close friendships, less community, more doing and less belonging.

In this episode of Midlife Chrysalis, Jeff Hamaoui, MEA co-founder and community builder, reflects on how midlife invited him to redesign his life around friendship, connection, and community.

In a warm, thoughtful conversation, Jeff shares:

  • Why friendship is a skill we can practice and deepen
  • How transactional living erodes real connection
  • Why community is essential to well-being in midlife
  • How choosing a second chapter starts with belonging

If you’re navigating midlife and craving deeper connection, this episode offers clarity, comfort, and perspective.

👉 Watch now and explore what truly supports your next chapter.
