Vulnerable! Humorous! Energizing! Educational!

Amber Swenor is who I needed on my walks figuring out how to develop a new concepts for my company. This book is like having a new best friend, counselor, and coach right with you. There are so many great stories that transition into really helpful activities that are applicable to any space in our lives. This book is valuable who ever you are, where ever you because we all can learn to be unleashed in our whole lives.

A MUST LISTEN if you want to be inspired!!

Amber shares how she became the powerhouse woman in her life and business. Her insights to become truly authentic and setting boundaries were extremely helpful. Her narration of the book makes it more personal when sharing her wisdom. I highly recommend listening to this book!

Unleashing Your Authentic Self Changes My Business

I just devoured "Unleashed" by Amber Swenor and I must say, it's been jam packed with interesting stories and actionable insights. Amber's writing is like a breath of fresh air: honest, raw and infused with a sense of humor we all need especially when the you-know-what hits the fan. She expertly dismantles norms that keep people stuck in people pleasing, and offers ways to become more authentic and naturally polarizing so your ideal clients can find you. Also, how to deal with the haters. "Unleashed" is a must-read for anyone who's tired of playing small, wants to go all in, and reap the wisdom from a woman who has done just that with her business!

Unleash your inner badass!!

“ The rules you write yourself are the only ones that matter.” This book came to me at a pivotal moment in my life and gave me the clarity to see where my path needs to go. I’m a change-maker by trade, but have felt stuck in the monotony of life, while feeling deeply in my core that I have more to offer others.
Some major personal takeaways are:
“ I’m not a special person with special problems that the universe’s rules and possibilities don’t apply to.”
“ Listen when you can no longer not listen, when the risk of not following your purpose is greater.”
“ When you are called forward, you must go.”
I recommend anyone looking to become “unleashed,” to not only purchase the physical book, but to also listen to Amber narrate this work.
Amber will keep you wanting to know more about her life, applying her sage advice, and ripping off the leash that is withholding you from your truest self. This is a magnificent work on authenticity and living to your truest purpose. Well done!

Inspired real talk

I love Amber’s approach and reverence for living into what’s possible and challenging beliefs that don’t serve us. She uses her personal stories to show the power of self trust and fierce determination. I’m so glad she recorded this, it’s a better experience when the author reads their own memoir! Highly recommend.

Unleashed is a practice we commit to! Its about Authenticity and Identity.

Having met Amber, I can share with all of you that she is everything and more that is in this book. In this complex, but also beautiful journey of life, she is a force of nature and an incredible example to us all. The audio book is exceptional, her voice brings it to life. It’s real, it’s raw, it’s funny. It connects at a deeper level with the conscious and the subconscious in so many different ways. The stories are relatable, because they are in many instances our own stories, and along with them we receive valuable guidance, inspiration. I cried, I laughed, I claimed my authenticity!! Among the endless list of “aha” moments, I was reminded how critical it is to have close to us our RAD badass list (Reflect: on our past wins, Acknowledge: the struggles and what we felt after those wins, and Do it again). Thank you Amber for your authenticity, for the courage to share your journey and the lessons learned with us. For showing us how important it is to ALWAYS Honor our Path! You have certainly Unleashed me!

A Rockstar Guide for Your Own Authentic Journey

I listened to this book while driving to work and got there each day feeling ready to take on the world, on my terms. It was absolutely made to be an audiobook, as Amber is a talented motivational speaker and coach. She is honest and passionate; relatable and real. In a raw and enthusiastic way she shares the story of her journey from her small town Wisconsin roots to rockstar business coach (with stops on the pageant circuit and Africa along the way). Her metal band Morningstar, for whom Amber is lead singer, is even featured jamming out throughout the book.

This book was challenging in the very best way. As a young physician, there are so many boxes I am expected to fit into within the structure of the medical system. This book was the jolt I needed - it made me rethink the way I squeeze myself to fit into constructs of the world, where I am complacent but not fulfilled. I felt pushed to crush those limits I have put on myself to live an authentic, purposeful and courageous life. To stop shaping who I am to fit other people's expectations. To say no when things don't fit my goals. To speak up for myself and my value. Or as Amber would put it - to embrace my inner badass!

This is the perfect book for you:
- If you've ever had a voice in the back of your head that whispers your life could be something more.
- If you feel stuck, need a challenge and a refresh.
- If imposter syndrome limits how you press into your goals.
- If you could use an approachable, real pep talk from someone who's been there.
- If there is something inside of you meant for greatness, just waiting to be unleashed!

Entrepreneurs, aspiring musicians, employers, parents, professionals, travelers, dreamers, new graduates... check out this book and become the rockstar version of yourself you were always meant to be!

The reminder I needed!

This book is so inspiring and hearing Amber tell her story, in her own voice, makes this book even better. The reminder to live authentically is always a great one. Her anecdotes and life lessons are told so open and honestly, you feel like you are listening to a girlfriend. A girlfriend friend who wants you to let your inner rockstar sing!

Like getting a pep talk from your best friend

Unleashed has it all- empowering stories; LOL moments of growth; relatable feelings of discomfort and insecurity; and a solid step-by-step to moving through it all by relying on your inner knowing. Worth coming back to over and over!

Being YOU Leads to the most abundant life!

I love how bold, sure, and authentic Amber is in her story while also providing great applications and insights toward our own lives. The way she honestly, vulnerably, and at times humorously depicts her journey to becoming Unleashed is truly inspiring. Even as someone who is “in” this work and has lived my own trailblazing journey, I still found great depth and new ways of thinking and being through listening to this book.
