Frenemies:
The Truth About the People Who Smile in Your Face

Launch Date: February 13
Some of the people closest to you aren’t really rooting for you.
They laugh with you. They support you publicly. They say the right things. But behind the scenes, they compete with you, resent your growth, or quietly hope you don’t win.
That’s what Frenemies is about.
This book isn’t about paranoia. It’s about clarity.
What Is a Frenemy?
A frenemy isn’t an obvious enemy.
They don’t attack you directly. They don’t openly oppose you. They don’t show their hand.
Instead, they:
Encourage you… but never fully
Support you… until you start winning
Compliment you… with subtle shade attached
Stay close enough to observe, not help
Frenemies teaches you how to spot these patterns early, before they cost you relationships, confidence, or momentum.
Why I Wrote Frenemies
This book comes from lived experience.
From friendships that changed when success entered the room. From conversations that felt supportive on the surface but heavy underneath. From moments where I realized not everyone around me wanted the same outcome I did.
Frenemies is about:
Protecting your energy
Moving smarter, not colder
Knowing who deserves access to you
Growing without over-explaining yourself
This isn’t a book about cutting everyone off. It’s a book about moving differently.
What You’ll Learn Inside the Book
In Frenemies, you’ll learn how to:
Identify subtle signs of jealousy and hidden competition
Understand why some people change when you level up
Stop oversharing your plans with the wrong audience
Set boundaries without guilt
Move in silence when necessary
Protect your vision while staying authentic
Each chapter is designed to be practical, direct, and real — not theory, not fluff.
