This is how you find yourself.
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.
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: There She Is.
Untamed shows us how to be brave. As Glennon insists: The braver we are, the luckier we get.

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “Thank you isn’t enough…”
Untamed is essentially the book that teaches exactly how to undo and replace the misogynistic and racist and multifaceted discriminations we’ve all had crammed down our throats that keeps us from love and keeps us miserable in expectations-bondage. It educates you about burning them and replacing them with what is true, whole, and healthy. How we can learn and teach compassion by taking time to imagine. This book is a myth buster of epic proportions. It’s the manual on what love really looks like free of shame, stereotypes, etc etc. Thank you for Glennon Doyle — Your books free me, free others, and shows us how to set about doing the next right thing for each of us. Choose you. My next task is to set the rules for those that have permission to be on my island. (Audible review)— HeyJude, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Fierce”
A beautiful message of empowerment and becoming who you were meant to be. I couldn’t stop listening to Glennon as she read the words she wrote.— Delyn Duggins, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Amazing “
I loved it all. ❤️ so much deeper and fuller than love warrior….which I also liked but found the religious undertones a little off putting. This is honest and real and gives me hope that TRUE LOVE exists. Thank you for sharing your art.— CORA, Audible listener
