About the Author
Hi, I’m LaShonda — a friend, a caregiver, and someone who knows what it’s like to carry the weight of being “the strong one.” I wrote Golden Nuggets for the Strong Friend as a love letter to all of you who show up for others every day, often putting your own needs last.
This book is my way of saying: It’s okay to pause. It’s okay to take care of yourself. You deserve healing, encouragement, and a daily reminder that your strength matters — but so does your rest and renewal.
When I’m not writing, you can find me connecting with others, sharing stories, and creating safe spaces for healing. I’m honored to share this journey with you.
Let’s walk together toward compassion, clarity, and care — because you matter, too.
This Is for You If You’re Always the One Holding It All Together
You’re the one everyone calls for advice, help, or a safe space. But when was the last time you had a moment to breathe, reflect, and be poured into?
This book was written for the quiet warriors — the caregivers, the listeners, the high-achievers — who rarely ask for anything in return.
You show up for everyone else, even when your cup is empty.
You’ve been strong for so long, you've forgotten what rest feels like.
