UNMUTED is the answer to that quiet voice inside, the one nudging you to stop playing small and start living true.
If you’ve ever held back, bitten your tongue, or wondered if you’re “too much” or “not enough” …you’re not alone. Somewhere along the way, many of us learned to stay quiet, seek approval, and strive for perfectionism. We didn’t even realise how much we were shaping ourselves to fit someone else’s expectations… until we began to feel the weight of it.
In UNMUTED, transformational coach and former corporate executive Marianne Hynes guides you on a powerful journey from silence to self-expression. Drawing from her own awakening and years of coaching women worldwide, she reveals why you learned to stay quiet and how to break free from those patterns for good.
This isn’t a book about fixing yourself. It’s about remembering who you were before the world told you to be someone else. With raw honesty, practical tools, and profound insight, UNMUTED will help you stop performing, start speaking your truth, and create a life that’s authentically yours.
The world doesn’t need a more polished version of you, it needs your voice, UNMUTED.

-Mary, Career Woman
“I grew up in rural Australia where traditional roles and expectations for women were deeply ingrained. From a young age, I learned that being ‘a good girl’ meant doing what I was told, working hard, being well mannered of course and certainly not being loud. Reading UNMUTED was like finding a new room in a house I’d always lived in. The section about fitting in versus belonging hit me right in the heart. I realised I’d spent most of my life trying to fit in – I thought that was the only way to be accepted. This book gave me the language and courage to see the difference. At the age of 51, I now feel permission to honour my own voice without guilt! UNMUTED isn’t just a book – it’s a mirror and a guide.”
