Thank you!!

Thank you for this podcast!! It has helped me so much! I’m excited to listen everyone to what you have to say! Your book Untamed helped me to find my inner courage to confront some of my issues. I’m slowly making changes and between you, your sister, my pod squad, and my therapist I too can do hard things!!
The song your daughter wrote is amazing btw!! Thank you for all of this!!

We need Tish’s (& Brandi’s) song!

Her song is incredible. Please make it available for download somewhere. Soo soo good. Please share! <3

Thanks for this!

I loved it! I love hearing that I’m not alone in my thinking and I love knowing that though I feel alone in this at times- I’m not. There are many other people rowing their tiny little boat alone on a perilous sea- and I think I forget to look up and see them rowing too. Though alone- I’m not alone. Thanks again.

Hard things

I can do hard things too!! Thank you ladies! The song is absolutely AMAZING, what a beautiful voice!

Exceptional, as always.

The refreshing truth being shared by Glennon and Sister is inspiring. It is rare to find honesty about hard things embedded in motivation. G always delivers. I’ll be anticipating each week’s session!

Stay invisible because if I can see you it’s your fault

Shame is a name

It’s a name I’ve been duct taped with my whole life
It’s stuck in with the secrets that burn me
The ones that protect the evil doers
They make it stick by using my love for others
That the telling of the truth will hurt them or get them hurt
The irony and the anger burn the house down
When you grow to understand the dupe
The fucking monstrosity of the twisted mind
You sold your life to protect me and thus enabled it
You could have told and saved yourself
You believed the evil doer that it was all on you and you were a savior - honorable - loving
Isn’t it no wonder in listening to the world outside of these sound blocking glass walls
The reality of your own worth - that little kid inside never got to understand
The power of a child to sacrifice and so we do
The innocence of a child so they take
As grown women we are here and roaring with rage and justice calls
No one will ever make me sell out for any reason
I know my worth and will sit alone if need be
Yet as we all raise our voices against the false dichotomies set before us we realize there is enough. There is no us or them - just all of us
This banquet table is for all women past, present and future and our worth is in our bones, the skin that covers it, the energy we give and send together in support - we are more than a pod squad - we are more than women listening - we are a fucking revolution of higher ground for what we love, who we love and the true definition of love….thank you for saying all the hard things out loud because when we just whisper it to ourselves it can’t really catch fire - let’s burn the world down with this terribly beautiful love ❤️🙏🏻🌎

How can I love Glennon Doyle more?

How I can love Glennon Doyle more is when she does a podcast with her sister about anxiety and depression. This woman continues to reach into my soul and relate to everything that’s inside there.
I am a recovered alcoholic and drug addict of over three decades. And I’ve never heard anyone share spirituality recovery and being gay in such an amazing way. I’ve been with my wife for 27 years, and the conflict of the spiritual world and being in the LGBTQ world can be hard to navigate. Glennon is so good at sharing things from her heart in a way that I can understand and relate. And then use in my daily life. Amazing!
My goal this week is to build my pod squad to at least three people! Thanks Glennon and sister!!!
