• 1. Career

Glennon Doyle is an American author and queer activist known for her books Untamed, Love Warrior, and Carry On, Warrior. Doyle is also the creator of the online community Momastery, and is the founder and president of Together Rising, an all-women-led nonprofit organization supporting women, families, and children in crisis.

Career

In 2009, Doyle began writing online with her blog Momastery as a way to share "a look at her life as a progressive Christian raising three children." This was the start of her writing career and led to her first book, a memoir titled Carry On, Warrior, in 2013. This book unifies faith with themes of honesty and authenticity, but her subsequent writings shift further away from having a core religious focus.

In 2016, a follow-up memoir, Love Warrior was released. In September 2016, it was selected to be a part of Oprah's Book Club 2.0.

A third memoir, Untamed, was published in 2020.  In April 2020, the book was selected to be a part of Reese Witherspoon's Reese's Book Club (Hello Sunshine • Book Club).

Untamed has sold more than two million copies as of February 2021. A television series based on Untamed is being developed by J. J. Abrams's production company, with Sarah Paulson expected to be the lead. Sarah Paulson was the only actress to audition for the role, and Doyle said Paulson is the perfect actress to play her because she is "somebody who is a transformational actor, who is in touch with the world and involved in everything we care about, and who is queer".

In May 2021, Doyle launched a podcast titled We Can Do Hard Things. This podcast stars Doyle's wife, Abby Wambach, and sister, Amanda. It carries similar themes to Untamed.

Doyle has also made several appearances on the Together Live Tour, created by Jennifer Rudolph Walsh. The Together Live Tour is a storytelling event aimed at connecting communities and helping each other find purpose. Doyle has appeared on this tour alongside Latham Thomas, Connie Britton, and Sophia Bush.
