Every woman lives by a code, whether she realizes it or not. It informs how she treats others and herself, how much she expects of herself, and how far she is willing to go in order to find success. But is the code we're living by truly helping us create the lives of purpose and fulfillment we desire? Or are we sacrificing the deeper things for mere achievement?

In this inspiring book, Sophia A. Nelson calls women to live out a powerful life code that will lead them to purposeful and successful lives. With the wisdom that comes from experience, Nelson reveals to women

' the true meaning of "having it all"
' how to take better care of their minds, bodies, and souls
' how to achieve professional excellence without compromising their values
' how to find lasting love and purpose in life beyond their accomplishments
' how to navigate the sisterhood of women, to build collaboration rather than competition
' how to heal from past hurts, rejection, and life's inevitable storms
' and much more

The Woman Code is a way of living, of navigating life's challenges, and of interacting positively with other women. It's a way of pursuing our dreams and our deepest desires. It reveals a universal and timeless set of principles of the mind, body, and spirit that help women balance the demands of work, home, family, and friendship. The Woman Code not only calls on women to practice purpose in their lives, it shows them how to do it with grace.

Review
"Nelson explains how women can recognize the codes they operate by and use them to reshape aspects of their lives, using what she calls the "Personal Codes," the "Emotional Codes," the "Spiritual Codes," and the "Professional Codes." Unlike many of today's self-help authors, Nelson doesn't indulge in an us-against-them mentality. Rather, she says that women should be strong, assured, and responsible for their own actions and choices. This refreshing approach is both empowering and enlightening and should appeal to women of all ages."

"The Woman Code exposes the personal, emotional, spiritual, professional and social areas where the distortions lie, and shares principles for making genuine life transformation. Nelson's words appear like rest stops welcoming the reader to bring forth her true self, "To be a woman is power in motion." The Codes challenge antiquated ideas on womanhood, including attitudes that women have toward one another. The Woman Code is a straightforward, comprehensive guide to liberate the true woman inside."

"Sophia A. Nelson unlocks the secrets to finding your purpose. Nelson, a card-carrying supporter of sisterhood, suggests that in an interdependent world, women must work together to build better lives and more meaningful professional achievements. This book is grounded in 20 Principles that will provide greater balance with family and friends, and in one's spiritual walk and romantic relationships."

-Essence Magazine, December 2014

"Realizing that there are a certain set of codes that unite us, and at times divide us, Nelson sat down and wrote out the lessons and key tips that have helped her overcome her own hardships. Referring to these principles as "the code," Nelson narrowed down her list of 100 codes to a list of the top 20 that she found to be most important. She shares these tips with readers in an effort to encourage all women to live out their best life."

Black Enterprise, November 2014

"In "The Woman Code" women will be inspired, and challenged to recognize their power in the world, open their hearts to their purpose, and take responsibility for themselves and their actions. This impactful book is for women of all ages who desire to live a life of meaning and fulfillment with love and grace. Nelson writes from her heart, walks the walk, and talks the talk. "The Woman Code" is a powerful manifesto and a clarion call for women to rise up, thrive, lead, love, and be successful from the inside out. We highly recommend this book."
