Queen Code is part-memoir, part-mindset guide that uses powerful archetypes and lived experience to help women stop playing the victim, rewrite inherited stories, and rule their own lives with clarity, courage, and self-trust. Why was this an important book for you to write?

I wrote Queen Code: The Book to help readers recognize the stories that are already playing out in their lives, often without them realizing it. The archetypes make those patterns relatable. When you can see the role you’re stepping into, you can also see that the story isn’t fixed. Your perspective can change, your response can change, and the outcome can change, too.

That’s where personal policies become essential. They give you something steady to come back to when emotions run high or old patterns try to take over. Through Queen Code: The Book and my signature Queen Code Mastery™ program, I offer people a way to move from reacting to leading themselves, with clarity, self-trust, and intention. When you understand the story you’re in and have personal policies to guide you, you stop feeling at the mercy of circumstances and start choosing how you show up. That’s where real change begins.

The idea of “personal policies” stood out to me. How did that framework emerge for you, and how has it changed the way you handle conflict or drama in your own life?

The idea of “personal policies” was born from a conversation about business policies. Companies, stores, and banks have standard policies that their customers and/or employees adhere to, so why shouldn’t people also have policies to guide them? From there, my signature Queen Code Mastery™ program was created along with the Queen Code Oracle Card Deck, and of course, this book.

What I realized while creating Queen Code Mastery™ and writing Queen Code: The Book is that I’ve been using personal policies my entire life to navigate challenges and avoid unnecessary drama — not always perfectly, but consistently enough for them to evolve into what they are today.

The archetypes feel playful but also true. Did any of them surprise you or evolve as you were writing the book?

There was a bit of both. In some cases, the story led to the archetype, and in others, the archetype fit the story I was telling. The stories came from my own lived experience and from what I’ve observed in the lives of people around me. As I was writing, a few of the archetypes surprised me and took shape in ways I didn’t expect. They’re playful, yes, but they’re also honest. They reflect how we actually move through life, stepping into different parts of ourselves depending on the season we’re in.

If a reader could embody just one of your principles for the next year, which would you hope it is?

If a reader embodied The Sovereign for the next year, they would be choosing self-leadership and personal responsibility — the starting point and the foundation everything else is built on. Leading yourself first is both a radical choice and freeing. When you stop getting pulled into drama and live by your personal policies, everything shifts. Self-leadership isn’t about perfection, but it requires honesty and consistency. When you stop abandoning yourself in the little things, clarity starts to show up. Relationships improve, decisions come easier, and life feels more peaceful.
