Overview

Always Rising is for women who have spent decades holding everything together, raising families, building businesses, supporting partners, while quietly disappearing from their own lives. For 35 years, Anissa Renae Kunda worked behind the scenes of a pioneering Australian tourism business, shaping industry standards, building systems, and carrying invisible responsibility. The success bore someone else's name, and for a long time, that felt acceptable. Until it didn't. This book is not a how-to manual or a glossy success story. It is a grounded, honest reflection on resilience, identity, and the quiet work of building something that lasts, without losing yourself in the process. Through lived experience, storytelling, and practical insight, Always Rising speaks directly to women who feel essential yet unseen; capable yet uncertain; accomplished yet quietly asking, Is this all there is? Inside these pages, you'll find: Stories of building a legacy from the shadows Reflections on identity erosion, resilience, and self-trust Gentle insight for women navigating reinvention, visibility, and second chapters Reassurance that your contribution matters, and always has Always Rising is a reminder that success isn't a destination, it's a series of small, brave decisions to keep showing up as yourself. For the women who've carried more than anyone knows, this book offers recognition, clarity, and permission to rise in your own name, on your own terms.
