Glennon Doyle’s words have a way of hitting home, don’t they? Her book “Untamed” resonated with so many of us, especially those of us who’ve felt pressure to fit into a mold.
Doyle reminds us that it’s okay to shed the expectations we’ve carried for so long.
We don’t have to be “good” in the traditional sense – perfect, obedient, always pleasing others. Instead, Lisa Sugarman, Patricia Wu, and Jessica Reyes discuss how we should embrace our true selves, even the messy parts.
This message is particularly powerful for those in the LGBTQ+ community. It took Lisa years to find the courage to come out as pansexual, inspired by Doyle’s honesty and vulnerability.
Coming out was a gift, not just for Lisa but also for her loved ones.
It showed her daughters the importance of living authentically and opened up new depths of understanding in my family.
Doyle’s words, “Now that we don’t have to be good, we can be free,” capture the liberation that comes from embracing who we are. It’s about breaking free from societal constraints and exploring all the possibilities life has to offer.
