Unleashed gives you the permission (and the blueprint) to turn up the dial on the most authentic soul version of exactly WHO you truly are and WHO the world needs right now for this next shift.
Yanik Silver, Creator of The Cosmic Journal and author of Evolved Enterprise
The future is for rebels, and Unleashed is the manifesto for authentic, positive change. This book is not just a play-by-play on how you can get more in your life; rather, it showcases Ambers unconventional, inspirational story of how you can BE more of yourself naturally, and leverage that to attract aligned opportunities, clients, and prosperity.

Katie Hill, Founder and Chief Rebel, Rebel Wellness
As we grow as leaders, we are constantly hearing messages about the right way to lead, or to act, or to be in professional settings. We internalize these messages, and it can be hard to separate them from our own internal compass of what we know to be the right way for ourselves. Unleashed is an amazing tool to take a step back and reflect on our own truth, to build our own authentic path forward. When I think of the most genuine, true-to-herself, unapologetic leader I know, I think of Amber Swenor. She is absolutely unique and shines in her authentic self because shes done the work to quiet the other voices in her head and lead from the heart. This book is a wonderful exploration of her own journey, and also gives the reader the tools to unleash their own badass, authentic self.
Maddy Niebauer, CEO & Founder, vChief
Ambers story is one that most of us can see ourselves in: having a desire to be our true selves, but feeling conflicted about how our true self might be at odds with those around us. Her vulnerability and candidness are refreshing and encouraging. A heavy metal frontwoman who is able to connect with people on a spiritual and energetic level isnt something you come across in the coaching or self-help world. While other books will tell you to change your mindset, or, Go wash your face and journal, Amber actually walks the walk and gives us the tools to do the same if we are ready to become fully Unleashed. We root for her throughout her journey because when we are rooting for her, we are rooting for ourselves.
Melissa DaSilva

Amber is a great example of what happens when you show up, do the work, and push every day to be better!
