Untamed
This is how you find yourself.
Inside every woman, there’s a voice of longing. We work so hard to be good—good partners, daughters, mothers, and friends—hoping it’ll make us feel alive. But instead, it leaves us tired, stuck, and unfulfilled. We wonder: Wasn’t life supposed to be more beautiful than this? We silence that question, convincing ourselves to be grateful, even as we hide our discontent.
For years, Glennon Doyle ignored her own dissatisfaction. Then, at a conference, she saw a woman and fell instantly in love. Three words echoed in her mind: There She Is. She realized it was her own voice—the one buried under years of numbing addictions and societal expectations. This was the voice of her true self, the girl she had been before the world told her who to be. Glennon chose to stop abandoning herself and start living freely, shedding the need to please others.
Untamed is both a deeply personal memoir and a powerful wake-up call. It’s the story of how one woman learned that being a responsible mother isn’t about slowly dying for your children but showing them how to fully live. Untamed teaches us to trust ourselves, set boundaries, honor our feelings, and unleash our wildest instincts so we can finally see ourselves and say: There She Is.
Untamed shows us how to be brave. As Glennon says: The braver we are, the luckier we get.
