Nice’s debut book gives women hope and practical, useful advice when they feel caught between where they are and where they want to be after leaving the military or facing other significant crossroads in life.

“My book is a love letter from me to all women veterans, executives, first responders, military spouses, and young professionals who have ever suffered and felt stuck,” said Nice, a U.S. Army retired logistics and procurement professional who served on three combat deployments and earned 23 military awards. “I call this the in-between. I understand what it’s like to spiral, to claw your way out of the darkness, and yet still feel like something is holding you back.”

In Boss Ma’am, Nice shares what it means to truly “run your world like a ma’am.” Through practical guidance, personal stories, and reflections, she shows her readers how to honor themselves, speak life over their purpose, and go forward with clarity, dignity, and grit. This narrative is a call to action for women to claim the respect they’ve earned, the reverence they deserve, and the life they were meant to lead.

“Carolyn inspires readers to quiet the chaos, rediscover their inner joy, and move beyond life’s standstills,” said Chris Schafer, CEO at Tactical 16 Publishing. “It’s a truly wonderful guide for women to honor themselves, embrace their purpose, and lead with confidence and grace.”
