Summary
Untamed is a very popular (and trendy) book written by Glennon Doyle that has enchanted millions of people. Published in 2020, it's a memoir of Glennon Doyle. One reviewer describes the book in this way: "This testament to female empowerment and self-love, with an endearing coming-out story at the center, will delight readers." The scary patriarchy. Radical feminism. White supremacy. Oppressed by religion. Not to mention the Progressive/New Age spirituality scattered throughout the book. With a book so relevant and popular, not just culturally but spiritually, I had to invite my friend Melissa Dougherty to chime in with her thoughts as we discuss this influential work.

| 0:25.2 | I'm actually in Southern California. I about a week ago, the day after the unshaken conference, |
| 0:30.4 | I came to visit my mom and turns out she needed some help medically with her health and some |
| 0:36.8 | health issues she's having, but she's doing great. And I'm here with her, given her a hand. |
| 0:41.6 | So, I wasn't able to record a brand new episode for you this week, but I've been waiting |
| 0:47.1 | for the right opportunity to publish a conversation that I had about a year ago that I really wanted |
| 0:51.8 | my podcast audience to hear. And so, many of you are familiar with Melissa Doherty, who is |

| 1:12.1 | enough about new age to really make those connections myself. So, I said, Melissa, will you read the book |
| 1:16.5 | and let's have a conversation. So, actually, went on her podcast about a year ago and we conversed about the book, |
| 1:21.6 | and I just thought it was so insightful. I love Melissa. If you're not following her, make sure you follow |
| 1:25.7 | her, Melissa Doherty on YouTube. And I'm excited to bring you this conversation today. So, without |
| 1:30.7 | any further ado, here's Melissa Doherty. Hi, guys. I'm so so thankful today to bring you this |

| 1:42.3 | heard about her channel or her book, her channel is going to be in the description and her book is |
