Feeling stuck with a fear-based leader? You're not powerless-and you're not alone.

In our fast-changing world, fear-based leaders rise quickly-tightening their grip as chaos grows. But what if you could learn to predict their behavior, neutralize their impact, and protect what matters most?

Unbreakable is your tactical guide to thriving under fear-based leadership. Written in short, digestible chapters, this book shows you how to manage up, set boundaries, and stay anchored-without losing your job, your values, or your sanity. Drawing on decades of experience in start-ups, venture capital firms, big tech, and consulting, Kate Lowry offers a master class in navigating high-control, unstable environments with clarity and agency.

With real-world tactics and reflection questions throughout, this book is your roadmap through the fog. Whether you're up against a tough boss, a top-down family leader, or a completely broken system, Unbreakable helps you move forward-calmly, bravely, and on your terms.
