Life is freaking hard. We are all doing hard things every single day – things like loving and losing; caring for children and parents; forging and ending friendships; battling addiction, illness, and loneliness; struggling in our jobs, our marriages, and our divorces; setting boundaries; and fighting for equality, purpose, freedom, joy, and peace.
On We Can Do Hard Things, Glennon Doyle, author of UNTAMED; her wife Abby Wambach; and her sister Amanda Doyle do the only thing they’ve found that has ever made life easier: Drop the fake and talk honestly about the hard things including sex, gender, parenting, blended families, bodies, anxiety, addiction, justice, boundaries, fun, quitting, overwhelm . . . all of it.
We laugh and cry and help each other carry the hard so we can all live a little bit lighter and braver, free-er, less alone.

Customer Reviews
Beautiful conversations!
Such a treat to have your insights accompany me on walks, drives, and hikes! That said, certain episodes merit a dedicated listen with an appropriate beverage based on the time of day :-). Thank you for your candid, inviting conversations!
Always excellent
AND episode 324 with Resmaa was best yet. Re-listening required.
Diagnosis
Thank you Amanda for sharing your cancer story. It is still so big and scary-raw and overwhelming.
I was diagnosed 41/2 years ago with ovarian cancer. You have my prayers and support for what you have shared. You are doing what you need to do.
I love what you three do on this podcast. My 29 year old daughter shared you with me. Timeless- I am 56 and still growing.
Katchannel1 on instagram if you need a conversation. I would love to do an episode with you as a more mature woman living with cancer
