A new social networking website, poised to be a destination for women of a certain age, wants to catalyze its members to celebrate and embrace their life. Fabulously40.com is a sorority of women supporting each other online and in person as each navigates an often tumultuous time where college-bound kids, changing relationship dynamics, career transitions and life reflection dominates.
?Who couldn?t use more girlfriends saying ?You can do it!? and ?I believe in you!??,? asked Fabulously40.com founder Yana Berlin. Berlin, a dynamic businesswoman with a thriving custom jewelry design business, had the idea for the site after she sought the kind of unconditional support online that she?d received for years from her girlfriends and female relatives.
Finding sites that focused on negative aspects of aging and other sites not geared to her life stage, Berlin wanted to create a virtual sorority that focused on 40 and beyond as a rich time where women could embrace their creativity and enhance the quality of their lives.
Since its launch in March, 2006 the site?s niche appeal has been justified, with hundreds of new members each month.
Fabulously40.com features articles and forums on important and relevant health, relationship, career and financial topics. Free membership to the site comes with a personal email address. There is a marketplace for retail therapy and blogs from Berlin and select members where they sound off with tips and tricks for fabulous living.
?Our culture is so youth-oriented. Fabulously40 is perfect for me because it recognizes that as a 44-year old woman, I am complex and want to connect with other women like me,? said member Sunni Tabrizi. ?This site is ripe with advice and support that?s meaningful and respects me and my experiences.?
As the site evolves, Berlin says she has much planned to keep the bonds of 40ish fabulousness strong.
