About this listen

What happens when you hit fifty and realize the friendships you thought would last forever… didn’t?
What do you do when you look around and discover you’re rebuilding your life, your identity, and your inner circle from scratch?

In this raw and beautifully honest episode of Who’s Sitting at Your Table, Toni sits down with author Jen Morgan, whose book Fifty & Friendless has struck a nerve with women everywhere. Together, they explore the often unspoken, deeply emotional journey of friendship loss, betrayal, reinvention, and the courage it takes to choose yourself.

With vulnerability, humor, and powerful insight, Jen shares what it truly feels like to wake up at midlife and find yourself unexpectedly alone — and how that loneliness can become the doorway to rediscovery, healing, and a whole new sense of self-worth.

In this episode, Jen, Sue and Toni dive into:
✨ The heartbreak and liberation of outgrowing old friendships
✨ Why friendship breakups hurt more than romantic ones
✨ How midlife forces us to reassess who deserves a seat at our table
✨ The importance of boundaries, self-respect, and emotional independence
✨ What rebuilding your community looks like at 50
✨ How to turn solitude into strength
✨ Why choosing yourself is not selfish — it’s survival

Jen’s story is a reminder that even when life sits you at a table for one…
you can still feast, thrive, and rise.

This episode is for every woman who has felt left out, left behind, or left to start over — and for every queen rediscovering her voice, her power, and her worth.

Pull up a chair, Queen.
