Unmuted: The Cost of Silence and the Courage to Speak

What happens when women stop performing and start speaking their truth?

For too long, women have been taught to measure their words, question their instincts, and shrink themselves to fit outdated definitions of power. In Unmuted, Dr. Michele D'Amico issues a bold call to action: it's time to reclaim our voices and redefine what leadership, strength, and success truly mean.

Through powerful stories, cultural insights, and practical tools, Unmuted explores how silence is learned—and how it can be unlearned. From confronting perfectionism and people-pleasing to addressing gender-based violence and systemic oppression, this book examines the roots of women's silence and charts a path toward collective liberation.

This book is for every woman who has ever been told she's "too much"—and for the men who choose to stand with them.

When women rise together, systems begin to shift. Cultures begin to heal. Futures begin to open.

The time to live unmuted is now.
