Glennon Doyle is a queer activist and author. She is also the creator of Momastery (an online community), and is the founder and president of Together Rising, this all-women-led nonprofit organization that supports families, women, and children in crisis.
Glennon started writing online with Momastery, her blog, in 2009 as a way to share a look at her life as a progressive Christian raising her 3 kids. It was the beginning of her writing career and it led to her first book, a memoir that was released in 2013. It unifies faith with themes of authenticity and honesty, however her subsequent work shifted further away from having a core religious focus.
Glennon has been featured in
The Atlantic,
O, The Oprah Magazine,
Glamour, and
Newsweek, and has appeared on numerous talk shows.
Parents named Glennon and Momastery the winner of its award for Best All-Around at Social Media in 2014. Then in 2021, she was included in the Fast Company Queer 50 list.
Love Warrior: A Memoir is the story of her journey through self-discovery after her marriage imploded.
Right when Glennon was starting to feel as though she had everything all figured out (3 happy kids, a doting spouse, and a writing career so successful that her first book was an NYT Bestseller) her husband revealed his infidelity and she was forced to realize that nothing was like it seemed. Glennon, a bulimic and recovering alcoholic, found that rock bottom was a familiar place. In the midst of crisis, she knew to hold onto what she found in recovery.
This is the story of one marriage; however, it’s also the tale of the healing that’s possible for any of us once we refuse to settle for good enough and start facing love and pain head on. It’s an astonishing memoir revealing how our ideals of femininity and masculinity can make it impossible for a woman and a man to really know each other, and captures the beauty that unfolds when a couple commits to unlearning all they’ve been taught to finally, after 13 years of being married, commit to living true.
This is a gorgeous and inspiring account of how we’re born to be warriors: brave, strong, and powerful; able to face the pain and claim love which exists for all of us.
Untamed asks you who were you before the world told you who to be?
For many years, Glennon Doyle denied her discontent. Then this one day, while she was at a conference, she glanced at this woman three words flooded her mind. There she is. At first Glennon just assumed these words came from on high however she soon realized that they’d come from within. This was the voice that she’d buried under decades of social conditioning and numbing addictions, Glennon decided she’d let go of the world’s expectations of her and reclaim her true untamed self.
Tender and forceful, this book is both a galvanizing wake-up call and an intimate memoir about what’s possible when we step out of our cages and announce Here I am.
