1 小时 17 分钟When you hear the name Abby Wambach, pretty much safe bet you're thinking soccer.
A two time Olympic gold medalist, FIFA World cup champion.
Hi.
By a long shot.
Retiring 2015 at the age of 35, she found herself for the first time, really, since she was a very young child without a defining identity or path forward.
And the year that followed in many ways brought her to her knees.
But it also delivered her into her next, even more powerful act in life.
She found the love of her life, Glennon Doyle, who has also been a previous guest on this show, and decided to redirect that same fierce effort that led her to be a world class athlete toward becoming an activist for equality and inclusion and a champion for women.
In her new book, Wolfpack, and actually, the movement and the company she's launched with it, it is, in every sense of the word, a reclamation, a call to agency and community, and a stake in the ground that defines this next powerful leg in her journey and her role in our collective journey.
Together, we explore this entire story, along with all the deeper motivations, the struggles, the darkness, the lightness, the moments of awakening, and so much more in today's conversation.
So excited to share it with you.
I'm Jonathan Fields, and this is good life project.
And before we dive into today's conversation, some of you have noticed that the tunage in our podcast has changed.
Yes, we've got new music, kind of much more of a chill, kind of groovy, lighthearted acoustic jam.
And there's a pretty fun backstory about where that came from, actually.
So that music was being played by someone who's kind of like family to me, to the good Life project, to our community.
Christopher Casey Carter.
And he's been a part of our community, of everything that we're doing for a long time now.
Been a central part of the camp that we did for five years, a friend, a collaborator.
And Casey was actually in town in New York City, and he was crashing here, and we were just kind of hanging out.
