LOSING A FRIENDSHIP, FINDING MYSELF
How a friendship-breakup catapulted me into the person I was meant to be
A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR…
Thank you for picking up Losing A Friendship; Finding Myself.
It means so much to me that this book is in your hands. Writing it was a journey—one that was painful, healing, and ultimately transformative. If you’ve ever experienced the heartbreak of a friendship breakup, I hope these pages remind you that loss can be a gateway to self-discovery.
My wish for you as you read is that you feel seen, understood, and, most of all, empowered. Healing isn’t linear, but I promise you—there’s so much waiting for you on the other side.
With gratitude,
Nicole
