Scotland's Women chats to Rachael, founder of the Renfrewshire Ladies Chat and Meetup Group, who shares her journey from feeling isolated during the pandemic to building a thriving community for women seeking connection and new experiences. Rachael discusses the importance of not losing yourself in daily routines and responsibilities, and how taking small steps—like joining a social group or trying a new activity—can lead to meaningful friendships and personal growth.She recounts how her own desire for more social interaction led her to create a group that now boasts over 1,700 members, offering everything from coffee catch-ups to creative workshops and murder mystery events. Rachael also talks about overcoming the fear of putting yourself out there, the value of being your authentic self, and the positive impact these connections have had on her own happiness and sense of purpose.
The episode is an inspiring reminder that it’s never too late to try something new, make friends, and rediscover your passions.
