Untamed by Glennon Doyle

When women learn how to please,
we forget who we are.

When women lose themselves, the world loses its way.

We do not need any more selfless women.

What we need right now is more women who are full of themselves.

A woman who is full of only herself no longer internalizes the world’s memos and expectations.

A woman who is full of herself knows and trusts herself enough to say and do what must be done, and lets the rest burn.

THIS IS HOW YOU FIND YOURSELF.

“Untamed will liberate women – emotionally, spiritually, and physically. I believe Glennon was born to write this book, just this way, at just this moment in history. It’s phenomenal.”

—Elizabeth Gilbert

Who Were You Before

the World Told You Who to Be?

There is a voice of longing inside every woman. We strive so mightily to be good: good mothers, daughters, partners, employees, citizens, and friends. We believe all this striving will make us feel alive. Instead, it leaves us feeling weary, stuck, overwhelmed and underwhelmed. We look at our lives, relationships, and world and wonder: Wasn’t it all supposed to be more beautiful than this? We quickly silence that question, telling ourselves to be grateful. We hide our simmering discontent — even from ourselves. Until we reach our boiling point.

Four years ago, I reached my boiling point. I was speaking at a conference when a woman entered the room. I looked at her and fell instantly in love. Three words flooded my mind: There She Is. At first, I assumed these words came to me from on high. Soon I realized that they came to me from within.

I was finally hearing my own voice—the voice that had been silenced by decades of cultural conditioning, numbing addictions, and institutional allegiances. This was the voice of the girl I had been before the world told me who to be. I vowed to never again abandon myself. I decided to build a life of my own – one based on my individual desire, intuition and imagination. I would reclaim my true, untamed self.

When we quit abandoning ourselves and instead abandon the world’s expectations of us, we become women who can finally look at our lives and recognize: There She Is. Untamed is about how to be brave. Here is what I’ve learned: The braver we are, the luckier we get.
