Just Express Yourself: Inside the Mind of Author Bry’Marta Maddox
What happens when writing becomes more than storytelling and turns into a safe place to think, feel, heal, and grow?
In this episode of The Author Queen Podcast, The Author Queen sits down with author, chef, notary, and creative Bry’Marta Maddox for a conversation about self-expression, personal growth, healing through writing, and the world he is building through Truth in You.
Bry’Marta opens up about the inspiration behind his books, including Echoes, Shattered Thoughts, Trailblazing, and several projects currently in development. He shares why reflection is such an important part of his work and how his books create space for readers to confront their own thoughts without judgment.
The conversation also explores what happens when your mind moves faster than your fingers can type, why growth requires going within, and what Bry’Marta has learned from putting some of his most personal thoughts and experiences on paper.
His message is one every writer and creative needs to hear: support may not always come when you begin, but that does not mean you stop supporting yourself.
As Bry’Marta puts it, “Life is short. The moment is infinite.”

Breathe. Believe. Become with Author Farah Bernier
What's up y'all! It's your favorite author here, The Author Queen, and we are BACK with the premiere episode of Season 6!
I'm sitting down with Farah Bernier, bestselling author of Joy Manifesto: A Love Letter to Self. Farah is an executive in talent and leadership strategy, a coach, and someone who refuses to make herself smaller for anyone's comfort. This conversation is about to change the way you think about joy and what it means to live unapologetically.
For nearly 10 years, Farah kept a manifesto she wrote for herself—38 declarations she spoke every morning. It started with five lines on a plane to California in 2016 and became the thing that held her together through every hard season and transition.
She never planned to share it. This was private, between her and God.
Then the LA fires came in January 2025. Her home burned. Everything she owned—gone. But when she went back to see what was left, the back patio where she'd been saying her manifesto every morning stood completely intact. Right then, she knew it was time to let other people see it.
We talk about what it takes to choose differently when everything around you is falling apart. How to stop apologizing for who you are in rooms that expect less from you. Why Farah believes that no candle loses its light by lighting another. We also get into the story with her illustrator that brought back something she thought was lost forever.
Farah is building wealth, leading teams, and coaching women who are done playing safe. She knows what it costs to show up fully, and she's willing to tell you the truth about it.
If you're in a hard season, building something that matters, or just tired of shrinking yourself, this conversation will meet you where you are.
