Friendships over 35~the lessons they left

Friendships Over 35 takes an unflinching dive into a side of relationships we rarely talk about: the heartbreak of friendship betrayal. What happens when someone you once loved deeply reveals they don’t have your best interests at heart? Or when you realize they’re incapable of giving back even a fraction of what you poured into them?

This book features powerful stories from me, as well as first-time authors Onica Crawford, Gwen Logan-Craig, and Ronda Wright-Broderick, alongside 3x author Brionna Morse. Together, we share experiences that are raw, vulnerable, and deeply personal—stories that have never been told before. Each narrative invites you to reflect on your own friendships and the lessons they leave behind.

For the first time, I also open up about how a childhood trauma shaped not only how I navigated relationships with men but also how it built my extreme boundaries with women. My mantra, "I've never re-loved a man or re-friended a foe," wasn’t born out of being a mean girl. It came from being a hurt little girl, "Baby Shay," who hadn’t yet taken the time to heal.

This isn’t just a book—it’s a journey. One that will leave you inspired, empowered, and ready to embrace the beauty of true connection while letting go of what no longer serves you.
