Untamed

For a long time, Glennon Doyle has felt like she was living in a cage. She had to be the perfect mother, wife, and Christian, trying to please everyone and meet their expectations. Only when she met and fell in love with a woman did she learn to be free. She learned to stop repressing her desires and regain her freedom. She learned to listen to her intuition and question societal beliefs that she had internalized. She was then able to live a fulfilling life.

Glennon Doyle is an American author and writer of #1 New York Times bestsellers Untamed and Love Warrior. She is also the writer of the bestseller, Carry On, Warrior. Her book, Love Warrior, was chosen as part of Oprah’s Book Club 2.0. She created the online community Momastery and founded the non-profit, Together Rising, which helps women, families, and children in crisis.

She was born in Burke, Virginia. In her 2013 TEDx Talk, she discussed her time spent in the mental hospital when she was a teen. She received her Bachelor of Arts from James Madison University in 1998 and worked as a teacher in Northern Virginia.

Married to Craig Melton, a former model, from 2002 to 2016, she has three children. She married Abby Wambach, a retired professional soccer player, on May 14, 2017.
