Making Midlife Funderful: Curated Events, Coaching, and Community for Women

Transformative experiences in North County, San Diego – for navigating midlife with purpose, laughter, and heart.

We’re All About Cultivating Joy, Connection and Moments That Matter in Midlife.

At Funderful Experiences, we believe this stage of life is meant to feel energizing, inspiring, and fun.

That’s why our core offering is Connected Hearts – a membership for midlife women featuring exclusive monthly gatherings that blend engaging activities, meaningful conversation, and just enough personal growth to spark something new. These evenings are designed to leave you lighter, brighter, and reminded that midlife isn’t about settling – it’s about soaring. And they’re as easy to say yes to as they are to look forward to.

Each month, women from Carlsbad, Encinitas, Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos, Solana Beach, and Del Mar come together in Carlsbad for evenings that:

  • Offer a refreshing balance to the busyness of life;

  • Spark conversations that go deeper than the surface;

  • Mix fun with moments that stretch you in a good way;

  • Open the door to genuine connections and new friendships;

  • Leave you feeling joyful, uplifted, and more excited about what’s next.

It’s not therapy. It’s not a social club.

It’s a new kind of gathering – for a new chapter of life.

And this is just the beginning.

In the future, we’ll feature destination retreats, couples’ experiences, and other special events – all designed to give you more of those “I’m so glad I came” moments.

Connected Hearts Membership: How Our Gatherings are Different from Casual Social Groups

Premium Facilitated Experience: Every gathering is intentionally crafted by Cheryl Dillon, a certified life coach, to be an experience you actually want to make time for. It’s a thoughtfully designed evening that’s engaging and meaningful – without the usual pressure, planning, or small talk.

Drama-Free Zone: We are committed to a supportive, friendly vibe. No cliques, competition, or gossip.

Intentionally Designed for Inclusion: Our structured format ensures everyone feels welcome and part of the flow – not just the most outgoing.

Enriching and Rewarding Experiences: You’ll do something enjoyable and learn something new, gaining not just new friends, but valuable insights you can carry into your life. You will head home feeling energized, inspired, and renewed.

Meaningful Social Connection: Our facilitated activities make connecting in the moment feel natural and easy. Our consistent, once-a-month rhythm is what helps turn those initial sparks into genuine, lasting friendships.

A Catalyst for What’s Next: This is more than a monthly feel-good event; it’s a space designed to help you soar. We provide the inspiration and camaraderie you need to reimagine your next chapter and create a life you love.

Every Connected Hearts gathering is a premium facilitated experience – thoughtfully crafted to be something you actually want to make time for – without the pressure, planning, or small talk.
