A Skill that Solos Need to Build Support

Solos need a nearby support network because for individuals like me, we lack the immediate family support that is typically available in traditional family structures.

Without a spouse or nearby children, we could have difficulties in managing day-to-day tasks, making important decisions, and coping with health or financial concerns.

Having a network of peers, neighbors, and friends will provide emotional and social support but can also offer practical assistance when needed.

When creating your network, hone your social skills.

Social skills give you the ability to interact with a variety of personalities, and gives confidence to step out of one’s comfort zone. This includes being open to meeting new people, engaging in social activities, and showing genuine interest in the lives of others.

Carol Marak, Author, Speaker, Go-to Authority on Aging Alone

After spending nearly a decade helping her elderly parents with the aging issues, Carol had a wake-up call, “Who will do for me all the things I did for my parents?” Taking note of that difficult realization, she got on the stick and created a roadmap to guide her in addressing the inevitable complexities of aging while living alone.

Carol knows what’s truly needed when a person has only herself to rely on.

She has taught hundreds of adults to think more creatively about and to take action for acquiring stronger health, a connected and supportive lifestyle, an inspiring purpose, more engagement, safe and secure finances and legal concerns—and more. Media refers to Carol Marak as the go-to authority of the fastest growing adult population—aging alone aka, solo agers.

Outside of my passion for mentoring and supporting solos, I enjoy the outdoors as an avid walker.

And most importantly, I'm thrilled when individuals begin to explore the wide-range of possibilities they have available to them to live well far beyond tomorrow!
