Summary

This week’s conversation is with Glennon Doyle, the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller UNTAMED, a Reese’s Book Club selection.

She’s also the author of New York Times bestsellers LOVE WARRIOR (an Oprah’s Book Club selection) and CARRY ON, WARRIOR.

An activist and thought leader, Glennon is the founder and president of Together Rising, an all-women led nonprofit organization that has revolutionized grassroots philanthropy – raising over $25 million for women, families, and children in crisis.

You might also be familiar with her wife, former U.S. women’s national team soccer star, Abby Wambach, a previous Finding Mastery guest.

In this conversation, Glennon shares how getting sober shaped her life’s purpose… an absolute dedication to telling the truth, to not having secrets, to not having shame, to living as close to integrity as she can imagine.

For Glennon, integrity just means integrated.

Aligning her outer life… her outer words and actions, with her inner self, so that she doesn’t live with two selves. This led her to writing and more importantly, her desire to help others.

We touch on the difference between philanthropy and activism, what drove her to start speaking up about racial injustice, and why this can be a good moment for our nation.

to face the thing that I'm afraid to face.

0:11.2

The deal is you go straight towards the battle every single day, right?

0:15.8

Whatever the battle is, our tendency is to turn our horse and run the other way. And it will just never work. So whatever the battle is of the day,

And the whole idea behind these conversations is to learn from people who are

1:14.8

extraordinary.

1:16.4

We want to understand their psychological framework that they use to pursue a deep understanding of the human experience in a way that is advancing our

1:27.1

capabilities.

1:28.7

And really these conversations are about reimagining what it means to be human, especially in modern times.

1:35.2

And as we dig under the surface, we explore how did they use their mind?

1:39.6

What are the frameworks that they're using?

1:41.3

What are the mental skills like becoming more confident and

1:44.4

calm and focused and using maybe imagery or meditation or whatever the strategies are to build

1:50.7

and refine their craft.
