Glennon Doyle wants you to stop being grateful, thank you very much – Sydney Morning Herald
She built a devoted following and wildly successful career from her belief in the sanctity of marriage. Then, she fell in love with a woman.
Her latest memoir, Untamed, metabolises her experience of falling in love with Wambach, divorcing her husband and father of her three children and coming out as a gay woman. It is a fervent cry for women everywhere to stop pleasing and start living.
Picked for Reese Witherspoons Book Club, the memoir has been praised by everyone from Emma Watson toOprah Winfrey. In fact it was Winfrey who encouraged Doyle to go public about her relationship with Wambach days before she went on tour to promote her 2016 book, Love Warrior, ironically a memoir about marriage redemption.
Her publicity team advised her against speaking out, and despite the risk of becoming the punchline for her largely Christian fanbase (she is the founder of popular parenting blog Momastery) Doyle did what she does best; told the truth, unashamedly.
Doyle describes Untamed as the book she was born to write. It explores motherhood, body image, friendship and her journey to understanding racism as a white woman. But Doyle, who has built a community of more than a million women on social media, laughs at any suggestion it is a self-help book.
Its amazing to me that it gets put in the self-help
