There is a voice of longing inside every woman. She makes me better and I am forever grateful to her for that. I have about a hundred pages earmarked and a thousand lines highlighted, so I can reference her words whenever I need them. She reminds us that it’s okay to be flawed. I have gleaned so much knowledge from this book and have absorbed many of her lessons into my molecules. I feel lucky to call Glennon a friend and mentor-she is a wry chronicler of her experiences, and she doesn’t shy away from talking about the messy moments, ones in which she is not the hero of the story. They chart her experience dealing with societal expectations, finding sobriety, and realizing true love and also provide endless food for thought on themes of integrity, self-fulfillment, motherhood, and feminism. Untamed is divided into short, meditative chapters, with titles like “sparks” and “girl gods” and “sandcastles.” Each chapter is a profoundly honest tale from her life. This book has been my North Star for being vulnerable and self-examination. Reading Untamed has helped me course correct the uncertainty, fear, and anxiety that I’m constantly fighting. ![]() ![]() These days, I am clinging to stories of hope as if they are life rafts. ![]()
