“Untamed” by Glennon Doyle

If you don’t know who Glennon Doyle is, get familiar. The multi-best selling author has written another outstanding memoir in “Untamed”. So much of this book resonated with me, especially Glennon’s thoughts on parenting, motherhood and the constraints set upon women by society and more upsettingly by ourselves. In this follow up to “Love Warrior”, Glennon walks readers through her life with her wife Abby Wambach and her three teenage children through life lessons and flashback memories. Glennon’s focus on accepting who we are as women, focusing on who we are as women, remembering who we are as women (…and not just someone’s mother!) are lessons we all need to hear. I listened to the audiobook so I could hear Glennon tell the story herself and I would highly recommend it. Now I need to go back and reread my physical copy with a highlighter and post-its in hand. For all of the Cheetahs who have read “Untamed” what was your favorite bit of Glennon wisdom you picked up? For me, I loved this gem on asking others for advice on life decisions: “This life is mine alone. So I have stopped asking people for directions to places they’ve never been.”
