"Packed with incredible insight about what it means to be a woman today." —Reese Witherspoon (Reese’s Book Club Pick)
In her most raw and powerful memoir yet, Glennon Doyle—activist, speaker, and bestselling author—shares the transformative moment she stopped living for others and started listening to the voice within.
For years, women have been conditioned to strive for goodness: to be the perfect partner, mother, daughter, and friend. But instead of feeling fulfilled, many find themselves exhausted, unfulfilled, and wondering: Wasn’t life supposed to be more beautiful than this?
Glennon Doyle spent years suppressing that quiet inner voice—until a single moment changed everything. At a conference, she locked eyes with a woman across the room and instantly knew: There She Is. This realization wasn’t divine intervention—it was her own truth, the one she had buried beneath societal expectations, addiction, and self-doubt. That moment sparked a journey of radical self-acceptance, leading her to break free from the roles she was expected to play and embrace the life she was meant to live.
Honest, vulnerable, and deeply inspiring, Untamed is both a memoir and a rallying cry. Doyle challenges the notion that a good mother is one who sacrifices herself, arguing instead that a responsible mother teaches her children how to truly live. She recounts her journey through divorce, forming a new blended family, and redefining what it means to love and be loved.
This book is an invitation to trust yourself, set boundaries, embrace your emotions, and unleash the wild, untamed woman within. Because as Glennon reminds us: The braver we are, the luckier we get.
