We Can Do Hard Things

Glennon Doyle, Abby Wambach and Amanda Doyle

The hosts of the blockbuster podcast We Can Do Hard Things share a fresh guide to being alive, to help fellow travellers find their way through life.

We are all life’s travellers. We don’t have to travel alone.

Every day, Glennon Doyle spirals around the same questions: Why am I like this? How do I figure out what I want? How do I know what to do? Why can’t I be happy? Am I doing this right?

The harder life gets, the less likely she is to remember the answers she’s spent her life learning. She wonders: I’m almost fifty years old. I’ve overcome a hell of a lot. Why do I wake up every day having forgotten everything I know?

Glennon’s compasses are her sister, Amanda, and her wife, Abby. In the span of a single year, Glennon was diagnosed with anorexia, Amanda was diagnosed with breast cancer, and Abby’s beloved brother died. For the first time, they were all lost at the same time. So they turned toward the only thing that’s ever helped them find their way: deep, honest conversations with other brave, kind, wise people. Now they join us to share their discoveries.

They asked each other, their dearest friends, and 118 of the world’s most brilliant wayfinders, among them, Jane Fonda, Brandi Carlile, Esther Perel and Ocean Vuong what wisdom might help others find their way. Now they join us to share their discoveries.

This is a talk for those in need of a place to turn when feeling clueless and alone, seeking clarity in the chaos, and wise company on the path of life.
