59 分钟I'm a recovering food and alcohol addict, but I still find myself missing booze in the same twisted way we can miss those who repeatedly beat us and leave us for dead.
And I wrote that, and I was like, that's exactly right.
That's how I feel.
Like, that's not something I'm ever allowed to say in real life.
So a little under a year ago, maybe right around a year, I sat down with Glennon Doyle to have a conversation.
It was around the context of her then released memoir, Love Warrior, which became a massive thing.
Glennon, if you don't know, is an author, an activist who started together rising, which has raised millions of dollars, compassion collective, and all sorts of other things.
As we talked during that conversation, it got very personal.
It got very provocative.
We went into the deep end of the pool quickly.
And one of the things that we explored was the fact that in her memoir, she wrote extensively, very personally, very vividly, about her relationship with her now ex husband.
And also in the conversation, start sharing about a relationship that she was in, that she really wanted to protect and nourish and allow it to flourish.
Since that conversation has aired, Glennon has decided to sort of slowly reveal more and more and share more and more about how her life has evolved and changed.
She shared that, in fact, her and her now exactly did end up getting divorced, and that she was in a relationship with Abby Wambach.
And in February of 2017, in fact, they became engaged and then a couple months later, became married.
So it was really interesting for me on the eve now of the release of her paperback, which generally happens about a year later, I've learned this as an author myself, to kind of go back and reflect on that conversation and reflect on the part of the conversation, especially about the dance, that sometimes public people do with how public we get, when do we get public?
How to expect people to receive news about some fairly dramatic changes in who they may perceive us to be and not be when we share them and how we decide and when we decide to share them and who it may affect when we do.
So I thought it was just really illuminating to revisit this conversation.
So we are sharing it with you again, and I'll share with you as well, that if this conversation really resonates and you want to spend more time with it, that the folks at Glennon's publisher reached out to me a couple months back and asked that a pretty substantial part of this, that they have permission to print and include the transcription of much of this podcast conversation in the paperback version of her new book.
So if that's.
