Untamed with Glennon Doyle | #1 New York Times Bestselling Author
#251 • Glennon Doyle shares how to love in the time of coronavirus. This mother of three and #1 New York Times bestselling author of LOVE WARRIOR, CARRY ON, WARRIOR, and UNTAMED (March 2020) chats with host Ellie Knaus about mother issues, anxieties, honoring our boundaries, and feeling all the feelings while housebound.
Moments after hopping off the phone with Glennon, we discovered my immunocompromised husband Adam has a high fever and is now in self-quarantine in our bedroom. I didn't realize it at the time, but this was exactly the conversation I needed to have in order to step bravely into this unknown. Luckily the kids are being hilarious though this mess. Follow along @atomicmoms.

Everything Happens | Kate Bowler on NYT bestselling memoir, cancer, and toddler wrangling
#164 • Meet Kate Bowler, our new podcast mom friend. She's funny, sweet, and really, really smart, but in like a 'very humble and also loves reality shows' kind of way. UGH. I'm so mad I don't live in North Carolina so we can be friends IRL and play with our four year-olds together. She teaches at Duke Divinity School. She's a historian specializing in the American prosperity gospel: think televangelism. And she bravely challenges the strongly held religious belief that "everything happens for a reason" in her New York Times bestselling memoir EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON: AND OTHER LIES I'VE LOVED. Because, let's be honest, you'd have to be insane to think there could be any possible "reason" for this beautiful, vibrant mother living with incurable stage 4 cancer to have her life cut short. She is not going to get better. And she is letting us all in on her journey.
We discuss the challenges in finding a mom crew, how our children teach us to live more simply, and also the "simplicity trap" (I really think I'm onto something here. And yes, I still want this.) And she shares honestly about living with an incurable disease. Glennon Doyle, author of #1 NYT Bestseller Love Warrior writes "I left Kate's story feeling more present, grateful, and a hell of a lot less alone." I felt similarly after our conversation.
I am so grateful for this memoir (she reads it herself on audible!), her podcast, and our chat together.
