Glennon Doyle | How To Find Yourself

The legendary author of Love Warrior explores the themes of her latest book, Untamed -- the joy and peace we discover when we stop striving to meet the expectations of the world, and start trusting the voice deep within us.
There is a voice of longing inside each woman. We strive to be good: good partners, daughters, mothers, employees, and friends. We hope all this striving will make us feel alive. Instead, it leaves us feeling weary, stuck, and overwhelmed. We look at our lives and wonder: Wasn't it all supposed to be more beautiful than this?
In a free livestream, Glennon Doyle joined Hannah MacInnes at the How To Academy to show us that another way is possible. The #1 New York Times bestselling author and humanitarian NGO founder is an inspiration to millions across the globe -- but for many years, she, like the rest of the us, denied her own discontent. In this talk, she’ll tell the story of how she quit living up to the world’s expectations of her and learn to be free.
In this talks she urges each of us to begin to trust ourselves enough to set boundaries, make peace with our bodies, honour our anger and heartbreak, and unleash our truest, wildest instincts.. It’s time to quit pleasing -- and start living.

    Reading Untamed changed my life. Not that it hadn't been a long time coming, but Glennon and her story rekindled my longing and gave me the courage to change and take action in situations where I had given away my power due to family and social conditioning. I have been sober for almost 4 years, and as my recovery community (not a 12-step program) often says, "We can do hard things." I can't emphasize enough how sitting with our feelings, letting them wash THROUGH us, and working out our hopes and fears in writing can create amazing discoveries about ourselves. Epiphanies that lead to real and meaningful changes that bring us back to ourselves and set us back down on the paths where we were meant to be; paths where we find our joy and our true voices. Thank you, Glennon, for (metaphorically) saving my life.

    Oh my goodness I just want to quote all the quotes - “Women are so good at deciding that inner conflict costs less than outer conflict. But when we do that, there’s still a price to pay - which is that we slowly die inside.” “I can love, or I can control. I can’t do both because love requires trust. And you only control things you don’t trust.” “Red flag that you are starting to abandon yourself: when you find yourself explaining and justifying.” “The best way to honor my parents is to trust the woman they raised.” And the best: “I will lose as many people as it takes to never have to lose myself again.”

    so many wonderful concepts and I actually grew up with a wonderful upbringing by my wonderful, free-spirited woman, who allowed us, seven kids, to live and be who we want to be, loved so unconditionally, and she always doubted social norms. My life even though it has still unfolded as yours did. I have tried to raise my three boys in the same manner and I hope they feel as free as I did to be who they want to be.

    Oh, how I wish I had your Mom. And how I wish that I had been better at being free myself so that I could model that for my own children. I have done it to the best of my ability and did a better job I think than the average American family but still, it's hard to read this and think of the opportunities I missed by giving my power away and playing small.

    It just may all about lifting off our upbringing belief systems and starting again fresh as an adult with all the wrong lessons and modelling of your upbringing that did not model LOVE, Leave it behind, and find your true happiness. Love your voice overs, please give me some hints on progression in this as I am just starting out Glennon and respect you and your helpful start out ideas very much.

    Does God have the authority to tell you that your heart is mistaken? Is God able to tell you you’re mistaken even about your own satisfaction in life, to tell you that your wrong, even the perceptions of your own life? Does God have that place? Doesn’t this look more about loving yourself than God, breaking the first commandment and quite possibly all of them.
