Thank you both for sharing so much value in today's episode! I posted a comment on the website and entered the competition It is amazing how the things you really need to see, hear and experience come exactly when you need it most. This episode is a perfect example of that for me! Awesome! :-)
I’m Japanese woman lives in Tokyo. This episode is beyond amazing !!!!! East Asian culture requires women to be tamed. Be humble, work hard,take care of your family and so on... I laugh so hard and cry at the same time while watching these two amazing women speak nothing but the truth. Thank you for amazing work!!!
Hi Marie, I love, love, love your work! Hi Reiko! So glad to find you here! I also live in Tokyo, close to Shibuya, Shinagawa, and Jiyugaoka. I’m a big fan of Marie and have been following her since 2015. I also started her b-school in the same year. Where in Tokyo do you live? Wouldn’t that be so cool to meet up with you locally here in Tokyo during the next b-school in 2021?

You explained this really well! 😄 Thanks for the great points about being humble, work hard and take care of your family! I'll remember this for next time!
My friend who has worked with wild animals for years used to always say, “Wild animals aren’t wild because they’re in the wild. Wild animals are wild because it’s in their nature.” The Wild isn’t in your surroundings, or circumstance-it’s in your DNA🙌🏼
She brought tears to my eyes. I recently divorced and I live alone with my 5 year old son and he keeps on asking me when is his dad coming back home so we can be a family again. In the begining I was "okay" with my divorce, facing it tall, proud and strong...but society and my sons insistence made me thing (this last weekend by the way), that maybe I had made a mistake. Maybe divorce was not the answer, maybe it was me who "failed" and not him. This video made me cry because I now see,yes, I failed myself for accepting so much and for degrading myself for 7 years. I wont say it has been easy because it has not, but the peace I feel and how I can now do my things freely, makes it all worth it. Thanks you for inspiring me more and for giving me new strenght to go on the path I have chosen.
konna qonneh thank you for sharing what you are going through. I am recently separated and I keep on thinking that I have made a wrong choice, the one thing that keeps me from going back is the peace I feel.
Thanks for your transparency. I separated from my ex in 2018. My son is now 6 and even though things are way better now he still very frequently asks about us all being a family again. It is hard. My ex thinking co-parenting is him seeing his son on weekends for 4 hours is a joke. Some days I do have weak moments and the “what if’s” come back. But they are lies. It’s hella tough but my mental sanity and my son seeing me free is way more important than a marriage.
Part of what she talks about in her book is that “we can do hard things” and that’s a big theme of hers. She talks about how it’s not hard because we’re doing it wrong, it’s hard because we’re finally doing it right and doing things right, listening to our inner knowing and breaking free from a caged life we’ve become accustomed to is hard, it’s very hard - but it’s a sign we’re finally doing things right. And if we can teach our children to listen to their knowing and do things right from the beginning maybe it won’t be so hard for them - it’s just hard for us because we’re learning it as adults / she also talked about how she stayed in her first marriage for her kids but then one day she looked at her daughter and thought “I’m staying in this marriage for her, but would I want this marriage for her?” And that changed her thinking - idk just wanted to share some of G’s insights, I hope it helps and I hope you and your son get through this hard time together and come out even better
"Mothers should show their love by martyring themselves." I'm about 25 minutes in and this made me cry. I'm not even a parent or in a relationship. I'm just mad and sad as a woman.
Dearest women in this beautiful conversation, don’t be happy to be sad or in the same situation but be happy for the acknowledge of the situation so you can make something about it and move (on, up... is really up to you 🥰) Also, it is not our mothers fault. They did want the thought it was best for us, what they thought it will work best for us, because it was what she was taught. It is our duty to walk that path of self discovery in order to be wild again! Wishing you all the best! 😊
My mom lived as a martyr and it ruined our relationship because she was bitter and resentful and mean. I started that way, because you do what you’ve seen and quickly realized I was dying. I stopped giving myself up and found people who supported me coming back to life. And I’m a whole person, and the people and children (my children) around me see that.
This was AMAZING. When she acknowledged that women of color have been fighting for injustice since the beginning of time and the white women are like “we are here now!” I started clapping and cheering out loud in my bathroom lol 👏🏽✊🏽💪🏽💯
You should watch a live speech of hers at this conference of predominantly white women - spending a good portion of her time making sure they know their privilege. I felt the awkwardness through the screen. That’s when I fell in love with her.
fighting *against* injustice I hope? ;) Because they already get plenty of that. (and plze stop discriminating against white women in general, not all of them are privileged barbiedolls ..)
Wow, what an AMAZING interview!! The "Untaming" that Glennon beautifully articulates is the ancient Ghanaian word, symbol and practice of Sankofa, "Go back and Fetch What was Lost and Bring It Forward". No self-improvement needed! Powerful!!
Literally THE best thing on the internet. Can’t count the number of times her words touched me deeply, bringing tears to my eyes. And I’m only recently accessing these emotions after 15 years of being “tamed”. Thank you for this, Marie - and for all the work you do supporting Together Rising. Sharing this NOW via social media for anyone who needs it, perfect in the spirit of International Women’s Day! 💜🙌🏼
This is what Brené Brown meant too: We don’t just braved the wilderness around us we are the wilderness it is inside us. So just like Tabatha didn’t need to have seen the wild to realize the wild inside of her and feel it rise
Well, I can see what my triggers and wounds are all about when after watching this interview and feeling utterly stirred, a snarky voice inside my head said: easy for this woman to become untamed when she is obviously wealthy and has an abundance of resources. I’m seeing that my own self-made cage has much to do with money and the belief that I can’t fully return to the untamed woman I long for because I can’t afford it.
I was raised by an Angry Single Mother, it has taken me more than 40 years to escape the effects of that childhood. I subsequently raised my Daughter as a Loving Single Father and I could not be prouder, at 23 she became CEO of her own Logistics Company, appeared on National TV and took control of her life. I can relate and agree with everything Glennon says, however, there is a real danger of Women becoming overly aggressive. When your heart is filled with love there is no room for hate. Don't get mad, get even.
I came here AFTER reading Untamed and oh wow, it’s just so good! I recently wrote more than ten chapters of my own truth laced into fiction, unfortunately I lost this work and I have been in such a depressive funk about the loss, but now I’m feeling a different direction. The previous work was heavy for me and the writing process helped me work out a lot of heavy trauma. Now I feel ready to take my story to a new real untamed level! Also that feeling of being underwhelmed and overwhelmed at the same time makes SO much sense to me!!!!
I was somewhat familiar with Glennon's book through its circulation online however, THIS delightful, honest and intriguing conversation propelled me to buy her book! I actually watched this episode a few times because it's loaded with JOY and thought provoking insights. Thank you both!
woowwwww. i froze in my tracks at the 13:00 mark. I literally wrote "feeling overwhelmed and underwhelmed at the same damn time." as a part of my ICA messaging for BSchool last week. HERE FOR THIS! and also Glennon, me and the woman I love salute you. 💪
As mothers of the world, we need to help guard to protect our boys from suffering the same fate, too. I’ve recently found (31 years old) that conditioning covers natural talent. To encourage prosperity and happiness on this earth, we need to help encourage talent-led lives. The conditioning cycle must end.
My inner voice is also REALLY loud and also makes me sick when I don't follow my true path. I feel that! Everything about this interview is amazing. I've been crying tears of joy and having empowering rage moments through the whole video. Thank you both so much! I call my inner wildness my inner madness.
I love love love this!!! I am becoming true self, that was hiding under all the social constructs of being a good wife, mother, woman, and learning to express it, without shame. I will be too much, too loud and a cheetah at 59 years old, it is never too late to choose yourself. Marie is right, we all have our piece of uniqueness in the mosaic fabric of humanity to share, and I am getting the guts to do just that. Thank you Marie, you always inspire me!!!
Book on it's way to me tomorrow. When the student is ready the teacher will appear. Another new teacher in my world. And Marie I recently found you and so glad I did. And in my 59 years I continue to open up to new teachers. Glennon is precious to watch. Fired me right up. A wonderful, wonderful interview as always. Thank you!
So, through (almost) the entire interview I managed to keep my tears in. BUT THEN you asked her to read that last part of the book. Omg, not even Jesus could hold my tears back.
Ugh this was so beautiful. "My inner knowing is so unbelievably loud - she will even make me physically sick when I am going down a path that isn't great for me." THIS RESONATED SO MUCH. So freeing to know that there's not something "wrong" with you...it means you are STRONG and that your personhood, who you were born to be, is fighting for you.
I have never heard such an amazing and thought provoking interview. I cried listening to this. Thank you Marie and thank you Glennon. Yall are changing the world for women.
Loved this! I can relate to being wild and constantly fighting whenever someone or something tried to tame me. I also went through close friends not supporting me as I became more and more untamed. So yes, let’s support one another, Please.
The most beautiful story I can dream about myself is me being in a ranch in Texas, raising my horses, playing guitare, and never have to remove the hair on my legs anymore. I love you bye
Just wanted to say, I'm a 28-year-old woman who hasn't shaved her body in 2 years except for hygiene or moisturizing purposes, and it's completely worth giving up!
@@sage9836 I am a simple man, i love women, i'm not a macho, but a true man. All women must be free for decided they want. I agree with: Feminism Women freedom Me too Gender equality LGBT women If you divorce, not is your fault, not feel You guilty, is your decision, feel yourself and proud.
Every single word from her mouth rings true. I feel like I need to watch this 5x a day. Glennon is a blessing upon this world. Thank you for your sensitive soul. It inspires me to find my own sensitivity.
Йога с Таня Me too! I just finished the book this morning at 5 am. I read all through the night. Then when I woke up, I made myself a delicious cup of coffee and watched this amazing interview.
This interview for BOTH of them is SO DIFFERENT…. SO HIGH ENERGY as compared to the interview 5 years ago - about Love Warrior--watch both back to back! So much more AUTHENTIC!!
Watched this on my commute to work.. 20 mins in and my makeup was ruined from tears (multiple times). So grateful for this interview. Can’t wait to finish the rest & to get her book! Thank you!
I cried all the way through this interview. I have this book to read over christmas and I just cannot wait. Thank you Glennon for making me feel less lonely and showing me that strong woman inside me is a gift
Fabulous interview! I totally agree with Glennon on societal roles of women and how we need to be Untamed! We don’t and can’t live for anyone else but ourselves. It doesn’t matter if you are a wife, mother, or any other role. We can and will be there for others but need to own ourselves with our true nature. Thank you Marie and Glennon. This book will transform lives!!
There are no words to express how much we appreciate and love Glennon. We appreciate you too Marie for having her on and having such a open and raw conversation that will help so many people, especially women.
Oh my god. This. This is just mind blowing. This is out there with Marie s top 10 interviews. I learnt so much and realised how much and far I’ve been tamed and conditioned. And how I can change that. I am forwarding this to all the ladies I know. Thank you Glennon, thank you Marie. Ps Headstrong is a darn great project.
Great interview. I’m so enjoying watching the world come together on all platforms and finding universal love. Religion, status, viewpoints, etc are all valid. It’s finding our truth and loving others standing in theirs. Unconditional love fully expressed.
Great video Marie!!!! You rock!!!!! On October 8, 2013, my marriage ended. On October 9, 2013, my new life began!!!!! Now I am embracing who I really am. And living on my mission for what I am passionate about!!!! Now I am living life to the fullest and each day is a new adventure !!!!!! I am so thankful for my past. Because my future is so much better !!!!
HA! Sooo many damn underlines!!! Marie, I bought the Untamed audiobook because I saw this interview on your Instagram. Her analogy fascinated me. Now I'm about a third in and just ordered the paperback online because I NEED TO UNDERLINE TOO!! Glennon articulates the things I have felt my whole life. In fact, some of her experiences are almost identical to mine. So yes, we are not alone. And in this time of the CoVid-19 crisis when it's all SOOO hard, she reminds us. THIS IS HARD. WE CAN DO HARD THINGS. Having to shutdown my business 2 weeks ago today, I've been working through your book, Everything is Figureoutable, and now Untamed... and I have time now to do the work. This downtime is the blessing I prayed for. Thank you LOVE LOVE LOVE
All my BIG feelings are spilling out of me right now! I have already devoured this book once, now I will go back and truly digest it with my highlighter and post its because I couldn’t stop when I read it through the first time, even though I was constantly picking my jaw up off the floor in every chapter, shouting ‘Hell yeah!’ or ‘Holy shit!’ I have been so conditioned to be a good girl/daughter/wife/mother/Catholic all my 46 years of life that I just chased the dirty pink bunny because I THOUGHT there was no other way, even though I always secretly FELT resentful. Now I know why. God bless you Glennon Doyle for coming into my life and my sister’s life right now at exactly the right time. ❤️🌈🐆
Thank you again Marie! I liked the dynamic energy in this video. I do feel that our untamed feminine nature IS like a wild animal, BUT not every woman's natural instincts are those of a hunting "cheetah", some can simply be like the elegant gazelle that needs safety and trust to express and be herself freely.
Thank you, Marie and Glennon for modeling more of what we want to be, who we want to see and how we want live in our lives!! I'm saving this interview to watch again and again, it's THAT good!!
I truly love that you put the disclaimer up about the language and to use headphones. So many people curse in front of children without seeming to care - ah 'Ah, It's OK' - it's not ok - to teach children to speak in healthy ways - giving them a vocabulary that will support excellent communication - without resorting to empty, overused words. Thank you -
Thank you both! I am going through a terrible divorce and just lost my job two days ago... but I won't give up, not only for my two teenage girls. I very much enjoyed this! Together Rising 👍💪
I'm sorry that you are going through this. I believe it's important to feel your loss, feel your grief, and share with children all your emotions you're feeling. Let them in, lean into them, and show them that grieving emotions are healthy.
Love the book. Love these two powerful women. Such great examples. Great video. Yes I am slowly becoming untamed.. the book taught me so much as a woman, mother, daughter, sister.
Meg Pending Yes! Me too. Untamed was my book selection for the bookclub group I’m in and we’re discussing it this weekend via Zoom. I’ll be wearing my cheetah print pumps that I love during that time.
Untamed, Glennon evoked the process of untaming right from the preface. Having hell of a week shifting and listening to Knowing which way to go. Thank you Glennon! You stuff is truly terrifying but so tasty and good.
That question about the vision of my most beautiful and joyful life got me all in tears. Thank you for that. A massive sign I'm probably tamed. I've just realised I'm even tamed when I'm making videos for my channel. Thinking I've got to filter myself. F that!!! Thank you for this conversation. It's my friends bday. Getting one copy for myself and one for her. Hopefully they already have it here in the bookstore in the UK. Lots of love 💜🙏🏻
The truest most beautiful thing that I can imagine is that I am able to meet more people through deep conversations that, in reality, are also suffering from similar things to I am. For example, finding another sensitive feminine straight man to relate to is a true gift, and I know there are more out there who call bs on male stereotypes and expectations. Thank you, Marie and Glennon, love you both so much!
@marieforleo this is ONE OF THE BEST INTERVIEWS ON THE INTERNET PERIOD. And how she dressed as Tabitha to embody the spirit of her book. She has created magic by appealing to the magic inside all of the women on this freaking planet. FIRE AF!
Thank you both for this AMAZING interview. My truest, most beautiful story about my life that I can imagine? I'm fully myself, connected to my body, intuition, and purpose, spending lots of time outside, dancing, playing, filled with love for myself and the world, and using my voice to share what I know to be true with the world-- regardless of how it's received.
I am too sensitive to make a difference in the world. My heart is fired up after watching this interview. Thankyou Glenn n Marie for doing this together. Buying the book for Mid March reading. 💟💟💟
This memoir was sooooo inspirational! I went through something that caused me to lose my wild, untamed self and I’ve been working hard to get it back, Glennon Doyle speaks to me so much, I admire her authenticity so much.
One of the best interviews I have seen! So insightful, authentic, and simply amazing!! You guys had me hooked! Thank you Marie for bringing such meaningful content! PS. Glennon loved you before and still love you now. You do you, sister:-)
So amazing. I will check out the book! It's TRUE that we are inspired to freedom in the presence of another Free person. I already feel brighter and stronger. Much love.
I loved this interview!!! I will definitely get this book and others to share with my friends so they too can be f'ing cheetahs !!! My dream is that I get awesome clients, one especially that is truly handsome, talented and on my spiritual wavelength that I can help, share and teach but he can teach me as well. as I always learn too. I love what you all shared about it not having to happen right now but applying, lending and extending the energy to become the person ready for the experience. Everything happens in Divine time. Great inspiring teachers though are a must!!! Thanks ladies!
I ordered Untamed within the first 10 minutes of this talk. Glennon is amazing... Loved Love Warrior. And what a timing for me to see this on RU-vid. Without research or anything it appeared as if it was clear that I was ready. And I am :)
I know my faith is bigger than the religion i have been handed. I know my sexuality is wider than this category i have been given. I know my potential is bigger than the oportunities i have been put in front of me. I know i am meant to love deeper and be loved deeper and realer and truer
We are all captive of the world girls and boys. Parents try to control the wild and wonderful beauty and natural potential of our children...to put them in little small boxes and not let them be who they already are. Children are born inspired and have much to teach us. We must listen and respect them and learn from them and let them think freely. Lives will change and heart and mind will become one. The flow of life goes on and on.
