I cannot believe how quickly our birthday month has gone. March was truly memorable as we celebrated Silver Sirens' 7th birthday! This milestone has allowed me to reflect on our journey personally and acknowledge the challenges we've overcome while holding the vision for an exciting future.
Looking Back on Our Journey
One moment that stands out to me is our 2021 campaign shoot, held during the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a time when unbeknownst to many, I was grappling with anxiety and depression. Balancing the demands of my online therapy practice and the growth of Silver Sirens, I felt overwhelmed and uncertain about the future. Financial stress loomed, and I worried about continuing without a stable funding source.
However, the Silver Sirens community showed up for the photoshoot with unwavering support. Each woman brought unique experiences and challenges, yet all were willing to contribute their time and energy to our shared vision. This event taught me so much about the power of our community and the strength that comes from vulnerability and unity in the face of adversity.
Birthdays: Celebrating Growth & Resilience
As we celebrate our 7th year together, I'm grateful for the incredible growth and achievements we've witnessed as a community. From our humble beginnings, we've evolved into a thriving network that hosts events nationwide, gathers for monthly lunches, and connects through our vibrant online platform.

First International Retreat—Watch for the upcoming launch of our exclusive members-only retreat to Africa, set for October 2026. This transformative journey centred around the theme "Cultivating Intentional Elderhood" offers a unique opportunity to deepen our understanding of ageing and our roles as elders. As Silver Sirens was founded on my cultural perspective of ageing, what better place to explore this topic than in the rich, diverse, and vibrant continent of Africa?
During this immersive experience, we will dive into the wisdom and beauty of intentional elderhood while strengthening meaningful connections within our Silver Sirens community. Be prepared for inspiring workshops, engaging discussions, and exploring local culture as we embrace the gifts that come with age and celebrate the strength of women supporting one another.
Look out for dates for our Australian Retreat, which is coming soon.
From the Bottom of My Heart
Thank you for being a part of our journey and making Silver Sirens the extraordinary community it is today. Your friendship, support, and resilience inspire me every day. Here's to another year of growth, connection, and empowering women over 50!
With love and gratitude
Faith & The Silver Sirens Team
