Some friendships last four months. Ours lasted over four decades… but not without some fights, faith shifts, and full-on fallouts.

In Episode 5 of our Friends After 40 series, host Natasha Elaine is joined by four real ones — Keedah, Jamila, Keisha, and Kia — childhood friends who have walked through 40+ years of life together. From middle school beef to married-mom misunderstandings, we get honest about what keeps a friendship rooted when everything around you changes.

We talk boundaries, betrayal, forgiveness, ghosting, and the grace it takes to choose each other again — or walk away in love.

📍Whether you’re the one who walked away, got blocked, or gave the benefit of the doubt one too many times, this episode is your sign to reflect:
👉🏾 Is this a conversation, a prayer, or a release?

• The unspoken rules of long-term friendship

• God, growth, and giving grace after girlhood

• When to fight for your friends — and when to surrender them to God

• The difference between loyalty and trauma bonding

• Laughs, lessons, and one raw, real quiz: Unfollow or Forgive?

📖 Scripture Tie-In:
Matthew 5:23–24 — “First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.”
