Untamed von Glennon Doyle

There is a voice of longing inside each woman. We strive so mightily to be good: good partners, daughters, mothers, employees, and friends. We hope all this striving will make us feel alive.

Instead, it leaves us feeling weary, stuck, overwhelmed, and underwhelmed. We look at our lives and wonder:

Wasn’t it all supposed to be more beautiful than this? We quickly silence that question, telling ourselves to be grateful, hiding our discontent – even from ourselves.

There is a voice of longing inside each woman. We strive so mightily to be good: good partners, daughters, mothers, employees, and friends. We hope all this striving will make us feel alive.

For many years, Glennon Doyle denied her own discontent. Then, while speaking at a conference, she looked at a woman across the room and fell instantly in love.

Three words flooded her mind: There She Is. At first, Glennon assumed these words came to her from on high. But she soon realized they had come to her from within.

This was her own voice – the one she had buried beneath decades of numbing addictions, cultural conditioning, and institutional allegiances. This was the voice of the girl she had been before the world told her who to be.

Glennon decided to quit abandoning herself and to instead abandon the world’s expectations of her. She quit being good so she could be free. She quit pleasing and started living.

Soulful and uproarious, forceful and tender, Untamed is both an intimate memoir and a galvanizing wake-up call. It is the story of how one woman learned that a responsible mother is not one who slowly dies for her children, but one who shows them how to fully live.

It is the story of navigating divorce, forming a new blended family, and discovering that the brokenness or wholeness of a family depends not on its structure but on each member’s ability to bring her full self to the table.

And it is the story of how each of us can begin to trust ourselves enough to set boundaries, make peace with our bodies, honor our anger and heartbreak, and unleash our truest, wildest instincts so that we become women who can finally look at ourselves and say:

Doch statt sie glücklich zu machen, hinterlässt dieses Streben zunehmend ein Gefühl von Müdigkeit, Über- und Unterforderung.

Glennon – erfolgreiche Bestsellerautorin, verheiratet, Mutter von drei Kindern – droht, sich selbst zu verlieren.

Bis sie sich eines Tages Hals über Kopf in eine Frau verliebt – und endlich beschließt, ihr Leben selbst in die Hand zu nehmen.

Glennon Doyle zeigt, was Großes geschieht, wenn Frauen aufhören, sich selbst zu vernachlässigen, um den an sie gestellten Erwartungen gerecht zu werden, und anfangen, auf sich selbst zu vertrauen.

Her new book, Untamed, examines society’s old rules on womanhood, sexuality, motherhood, marriage, and faith – and how to trust your wild, authentic self above all else.

If your desires don’t match what people expect of you, this interview is a must-watch. You’ll learn how to stop trying to fit in, and be the person you were meant to be.

Glennon Doyle is the New York Times bestselling author of Love Warrior, an Oprah’s Book Club selection, and Carry On Warrior. She is an activist, speaker, founder and president of Together Rising, a woman-led nonprofit that’s revolutionized grassroots philanthropy by raising over 23 million for women families and children in crisis.

This woman is full of heart, wisdom and grace. Please don’t miss this incredible conversation!
