You MUST listen to this!

I adore Glennon Doyle. Her honesty, vulnerability, wisdom and strength is an amazing gift bestowed on all of us. She says the words, out loud, that echo in so many of our minds. Listening to this almost felt naughty- like knowing too much about someone, getting too deep into someone’s mind- like reading someone diary. Glennon tells it all- and in doing so, brings the listener on a journey of their own. If you have only recently met Glennon through Untamed- then this is like spending an evening with a friend- talking long into the night hearing about how they became who they are today. Definitely worth listening to.

Now Untamed, Still Relevant

I was really worried going in to this book. On the one hand I knew I could listen to Glennon share her stories over and over again. I knew it could hit me right where it counts, and often when I needed it the most. Untamed had shown me that. On the other hand, coming in having already read Untamed, knowing Love Warrior was a different time in her marriage, I was concerned I would listen and struggle to connect with Glennon's life before her life now. I was majorly wrong. This book wasn't so much about Glennon and Craig's marriage as it was about faith, intuition, spirituality, self-love, disconnection and connection (to self and others), parenting, people-pleasing, eating disorders and mental illness. It was about the cages she mentions in Untamed. It was about SO MUCH. I didn't see her struggles with Craig so much as a result of her marriage, but of her representative. As I listened I started to see my own representative and found so much safety in knowing someone - somehow - had been able to put in to words what I've been doing my whole life. I've spent the last 5-6 years saying "I don't know who I am", or "I don't even know what my interests are". Before that, I knew only my representative, because I only listened to my representative. Eventually the tiny voice that was my real self became quieter and quieter. Eventually, I stopped listening at all, which doesn't exactly point you in any direction of self-discovery when you then go and have a breakdown, exhausted and suffocated by your representative. I felt so much of Glennon in this book, even though I felt so much of her in Untamed. It was Glennon then, and it was Glennon now, but not as two separate, unrelated persons, as Glennon on a journey. Now I might finally be able to connect and live mine.
If you think you might not connect with this text because you were so smitten with Untamed, I promise you're wrong.

A CONVERT!

I'd heard of and read various articles and podcasts with and by Glennon Doyle over the years, but had never committed 'fully' to any of her work, however I felt drawn to "Love Warrior", knowing that it was somewhat of a prequel to "Untamed".
Also knowing that I wanted to eventually listen to Untamed, it seemed only right to get to know Glennon a bit first, and this seemed like a good start.

I must say, although I knew that Love Warrior wasn't going to be Glennons 'happily ever after', I loved her working her way through her life, and getting to where she was at the end.

I found the story both heart-breaking and heart-warming, with the story constantly leading me further in, to find out what would happen next.
There were also a lot of AhhhHaaa moments, when I felt like our lives momentarily intersected and Glennon was helping me to understand some deeper part of myself...

It not be everyones cup of tea, but for me it was a lovely read/listen that I'm sure I'll pick up a few more times, and will no doubt get different take-aways from it each time.
I'm a Glennon Doyle convert!
