Book Review: Untapped Magic

Editor's Note:This review was originally published in Los Angeles Book Review.

Author Chloe Panta

Overcoming barriers to achieving one’s life goals requires embracing the magic within. Untapped Magic is a thoughtfully and lovingly written volume that combines age-old wisdom, helpful affirmations, real talk, and harsh truths. Transformation coach Chloe Planta challenges readers to manifest magic by sharing valuable advice on achieving dating, financial, and career goals.

Panta, a Detroit native, offers her personal experiences and observations of the challenges her friends, acquaintances, and clients face. It was interesting to read relatable and familiar stories of complicated romantic situations. And who has never struggled with anxiety over career or entrepreneurial ambitions? Not all the stories have bright and happy endings, but most conclude with a valuable lesson. Panta supplements helpful counsel with guided visualization and affirmations to support focus and growth.

Dispensing advice about achieving goals and realizing their power is a form of healing. Untapped Magic is an enlivening and reassuring companion for readers to recognize and prevail over limiting beliefs and heal personal trauma. It is inspiring to witness Panta, a woman of color coaching virtuoso who is blossoming in the healing arts. Many stories center on the narratives of women in their twenties and thirties navigating dating heartbreaks or planning their next career move. I found Panta’s approach thoughtful and considerate of everyone’s journey.
