When The Friendship Is Over

Any woman who has ever felt the sting, confusion, heartbreak, relief, or regret, that comes when a friendship is over, needs to be over, or when a glaring betrayal begs the question “Is this friendship worth saving?”, will want to read the newly released My Other Ex: Women’s True Stories of Leaving and Losing Friends.

My-Other-Ex-final-3
Filled with 35 deeply poignant and powerful stories that shed light on the dark side of female friendships, and reminds us how, sadly, not all friendships are meant to last.

I am so proud to have my essay published among such brave, talented and thoughtful writers who share their stories of pain and loss. My essay, “Frenemies,” is a departure from my usual humorous, lighthearted slices of life, and is an attempt to make sense of the friendships that have worked, the ones that have not, and why I think we choose the friends we do.

Grab some tissues, because each story will touch your heart. My Other Ex: Women’s True Stories of Leaving and Losing Friends is available for purchase on Amazon – click HERE.

    This looks like a great read. I was just talking about the loss of a friendship earlier today. How we deal with those losses become defining moments of our lives and everyone can learn from them.

Thrilled for this piece to finally see the light o Thrilled for this piece to finally see the light of day on @thegirlfriendletter. And a hearty thanks to @profwendywood, author of Good Habits, Bad Habits, for her words of wisdom. I wrote this back in February, before Covid threw us all a curveball. One thing that I realized is that whether or not we’re in quarantine, many of our basic human traits remain the same. Once a perfectionist, always a perfectionist...until I learned that that mindset was actually holding me back. Love to hear your thoughts.
