The Girlfriend, a free weekly e-newsletter for Gen-X women, has partnered with Members Only Access, which offers premium content that is free and exclusively available to AARP members as a benefit of AARP membership.

The result is “The Girlfriend: In Conversation," a new weekly audio series featuring fascinating female thought leaders and trailblazers talking about topics that are top of mind and that impact our lives. Starting with a four-part series, you’ll hear how to snag the best travel deals; make small tweaks that will transform your home; create greater joy in your life; and get a better handle on your finances in 2021. The first episode launched July 29, so visit aarp.org/TheGirlfriendInConversation to listen. The other three episodes will be released on subsequent Thursdays, on August 5, August 12 and August 19.

And that's not all. The audio series is rolling out in conjunction with a four-part special series of articles in The Girlfriend that talk about the various benefits of AARP membership.

Hosted by Executive Editor of Specialized Content Shelley Emling, the first episode of the audio series featuring mental health expert Rachel Noble, however, is available to everyone — not only AARP members.

To listen to the other three episodes, visit aarp.org/TheGirlfriendInConversation and sign into your AARP account. If you're not an AARP Member yet, join today to access the entire exclusive audio series. Your membership also helps AARP create programs that benefit people 50+.
