  • Summary

  • Life is freaking hard. We are all doing hard things every single day – things like loving and losing; caring for children and parents; forging and ending friendships; battling addiction, illness, and loneliness; struggling in our jobs, our marriages, and our divorces; setting boundaries; and fighting for equality, purpose, freedom, joy, and peace. On We Can Do Hard Things, Glennon Doyle, author of UNTAMED; her wife Abby Wambach; and her sister Amanda Doyle do the only thing they’ve found that has ever made life easier: Drop the fake and talk honestly about the hard things including sex, gender, parenting, blended families, bodies, anxiety, addiction, justice, boundaries, fun, quitting, overwhelm . . . all of it. We laugh and cry and help each other carry the hard so we can all live a little bit lighter and braver, free-er, less alone.

Yes, that! Exactly!

Sometimes Glennon, Abby, or Amanda would say something and I'd have a big ah-ha moment of almost instant realization and agreement. Other times I'd be like, I just said that this afternoon :)
More than excited to spend my time listening to these insightful women discuss the important and often very personal topics they share with the world.

A podcast for life...

This is such a great show. Every single episode can and will make you laugh, cry, ponder and transform. Glennon, Abby and 'Sister', are beautiful humans who are meant to be sharing their messages and stories in this way.

The guests are so diverse and knowledgeable. I've personally gathered so much insight about myself and those I love from this podcast. I recommend everyone listen.

Thank you!
