Women Gone Wild: Igniting the Global Movement for Female Empowerment
DRIVEN BY A SHARED CONVICTION THAT WOMEN MUST BREAK FREE FROM CONSTRAINTS BY SHARING THEIR STORIES, JULES SCHROEDER AND RHONDA SWAN HAVE JOINED FORCES ON WOMEN GONE WILD, A YEAR-LONG VISIBILITY AND BRAND ACCELERATOR FOR WOMEN READY TO STEP INTO THEIR NEXT LEVEL OF AUTHORITY, LEADERSHIP, AND IMPACT.
AS society grapples with the legacy of gender inequality and entrenched stereotypes, the call for female empowerment reverberates louder and louder. In response to this call for change, visionary entrepreneurs Jules Schroeder and Rhonda Swan have united to spearhead a transformative partnership dedicated to empowering women worldwide. Welcome to the realm of Women Gone Wild.
As founders and CEOs, each half of this dynamic duo stands as a powerhouse in her own right.
Jules, the driving force behind Unconventional Life, has spearheaded life-altering events for entrepreneurs across bucket list destinations worldwide, from the Himalayas of Nepal, to Italian castles, to private islands in Fiji and Madagascar, to Nile Cruises in Egypt, and more. Inc. Magazine crowned Unconventional Life “the #1 event for entrepreneurs” and recognized Jules as a woman who is reshaping our world. Through her influential podcast, The Unconventional Life Show, Jules inspires bold thinkers to live a life by their own design.
Rhonda, too, has left an indelible mark through her company, Unstoppable Branding Agency (UBA). With a client roster boasting names featured in prestigious publications such as Forbes, Entrepreneur, and USA Today, Rhonda has earned a reputation as a masterful storyteller and a relentless advocate for her clients’ success. Forbes has lauded her as “a woman of diversity to watch,” while her podcast, The Rhonda Swan Show, captivates millions eager for insights from luminaries in business and beyond. With 18 years of PR and marketing experience, she specializes in taking people from best-kept secrets to worldrenowned brands.
The genesis of their collaboration traces back to a serendipitous evening at an Unconventional Life retreat in Bali, Indonesia. While searching for the perfect local artisan to bring her vision for “Gold Night” to life, fate intervened as Jules stumbled upon the Instagram profile of Rhonda’s 11-yearold daughter Hanalei Swan, a young fashion designer already running a 6-figure brand.
Jules was so impressed by Hanalei’s innovative and ethically-sourced designs, she invited her to showcase her creations at the event. In doing so, Jules sparked a profound friendship with
Hanalei’s mother, Rhonda. United by a shared ethos of entrepreneurship and a passion for female empowerment, the bond between Jules and the Swan family flourished over time.
Both Jules and Rhonda understand the multifaceted challenges confronting women today. From systemic gender disparities in pay and representation to stifling societal expectations dictating behavior and appearance, women navigate a landscape fraught with obstacles and contradictions. Women are too often taught to stay silent and exist in a society of judgment, conflicting norms and photoshopped beauty standards – all while under pressure to be mothers, economic providers, wives, and leaders.
Driven by a shared conviction that women must break free from these constraints by sharing their stories, Jules and Rhonda joined forces on Women Gone Wild, a year-long visibility and brand accelerator for women ready to step into their next level of authority, leadership, and impact, founded by Rhonda in 2021. This movement calls for women to embrace their wild, untamed selves, rebel against societal norms, and reclaim their rightful place as architects of their destinies.
Central to the Women Gone Wild initiative is a bestselling book series heralded by Forbes as “the next chicken soup for women empowerment.”
The series showcases the diverse experiences, stories and perspectives of 25 women from all walks of life. Each volume, from the original edition to the forthcoming Leadership edition, embodies the core values of WILD: Wealth, Intuition, Leadership, and Diversity. These stories, woven together with threads of courage, resilience, and unwavering determination, offer a roadmap for women to reclaim their self-worth and unleash their full potential.
Over the course of the year, every author in the series undergoes a process of exponential growth for their brand and business. Not only can authors leverage the credibility of the Women Gone Wild brand, they join forces with a community of powerhouse female co-authors –including celebrities, Olympic athletes, multiple 7 and 8-figure CEOS, and transformational leaders – and leverage the collective influence of their brands.
It’s a comprehensive brand expansion strategy that employs the best of Rhonda Swan’s PR expertise and the impactful reach of a bestselling book endorsed by celebrities and industry leaders. Jules and Rhonda believe this level of collaboration is the new paradigm of feminine leadership and co-evolution.
To date, Women Gone Wild has released two transformative volumes – the original edition in 2021 and the Wealth edition in 2023 – each garnering acclaim for its profound impact on readers worldwide. With anticipation mounting for the Intuition edition in 2024, the Leadership edition in 2025, the Diversity Edition in 2026, and the Wild Woman Awakening Movie, authors from every corner of the globe are invited to join the ranks of trailblazing women shaping the narrative of female empowerment.
Crafting a chapter for Women Gone Wild presents a life-changing opportunity. Authors have the opportunity to see their names featured in prominent media outlets, their faces on iconic Times Square billboards, and their books carried nationwide through major retailers like Barnes & Noble, Walmart, Target, Amazon and Foyles. Being a part of Women Gone Wild isn’t just about writing a chapter; it’s about making your voice heard and your story known, inspiring women far and wide.
The partnership between Jules Schroeder and Rhonda Swan represents a beacon of hope for women everywhere. As they join forces to champion female empowerment, they pave the way for a future where women are celebrated, uplifted, and empowered to unleash their full potential. Through Women Gone Wild, they extend an invitation to women worldwide: reclaim your power, uplift one another, and inspire generations to come.
