Who knew publishing a book could be so complicated?
Looking back, I didn’t know much when I started this writing journey…truth be told, I didn’t really care because I just wanted to tell my story.
Once I got started I realized there were important questions I should have asked myself FIRST that would have made this process a lot smoother.
But I’m glad I pushed forward and today, I am a 3x best-selling author. Let me help you!

Here are some of the latest entries from our blog section.
"As the Chair of a diversity forum at Booz Allen Hamilton, I had the privilege of working closely with Audra in planning and executing impactful and career enhancing events tailored to diversity and inclusion. Audra served on the Professional Development committee and really had a passion for the advancement of women and highlighting their successes. In one of her many contributions to the forum to bring this to the forefront, Audra spearheaded and facilitated a dynamic panel discussion with a distinguished group of African American women who excel and lead in the areas of education, defense, and business. Audra has taken me under her wing for the past 4 years and guided me through some very challenging decisions in both career and life that has influenced me to be my best and grow as a person. I continually see her as a source of inspiration through her social media groups and channels that she uses as a platform to motivate women and anyone else who desires to be healthy, mentally, by living free, and living their purpose."
"Exceptional service ....from an amazing veteran owned small business. I have known Audra and her husband Tony for a little over a year now and enjoy being a repeat customer of their business. My TCE projects have been completed in a timely manner, with perfect execution and value based pricing. Xpress Mail is a true blessing and a great addition to the TCE Team; and they help me to look grand. I highly recommend Xpress for your printing, shipping and mailbox needs... after all, they are definitely “MORE Than a Mailbox”..to TCE!"
“Audra is a true inspiration to all women everywhere! She is the leader of the online FB community “Freedom To Thrive.” Audra provides an atmosphere where we can laugh, cry, and grow together as women. She’s always willing to help others and extend herself to get the job done. Recently, she took part in creating one of the most useful accountability groups I have ever been a part of. “Bring It To The Table” has done wonders for my confidence and boosted my energy to create content for my business as well as create systems with follow through. Audra is a true leader, friend, and sister! “
“Audra has played an integral part in all aspects of my life. From personal areas to professional areas, she has been a driving force in a lot of my decision making. The strategic tools she’s provided me with have allowed me to become a stronger mother, career professional and even in my community volunteer initiatives. She has the ability to allow her clients to dig deep within and I strongly feel it is because of her unwavering drive to help you “become a better you”. I highly recommend Audra’s life coaching to anyone in need of major life change.”
