She's my favorite. Carry on, warrior. Six hours till bedtime. It was shared 4,, times and caught the attention of top book publishers. This is what I've been wanting as an editor. It was a publisher auction that went on for 10 days.
Scribner won the bidding war for the book that became Carry On, Warrior , a collection of essays mostly drawn from Momastery posts. The book debuted at number three on the New York Times best-seller list in the spring of and has , copies in print. Melton was becoming a juggernaut. At the time she published "Don't Carpe Diem," she had 1, Facebook followers.
Five years later, she had , In addition to her social media glory, Glennon—who relocated her family from Virginia to Florida in —was also metamorphosing into a superstar IRL. After drinking from the same sweating water pitcher at a half-dozen healing retreats and wellness summits, Melton and Eat Pray Love author Gilbert became close friends. All of us are established; all of us have written books.
Every one of us sees her as our leader. For someone who was once meek to be followed by the people she admired—that's an amazing power of leadership. Melton's star wattage has, at times, unhinged her followers. After several incidents in which the gamine warrior was almost knocked off her heels by stampeding fans, ticket holders for her events now queue up—and at times pay extra—if they want an embrace.
Glennon says her current hug capacity is 1, per hour. Her disciples have been photographed crawling into Melton's lap onstage in the middle of her speeches. Others write worshipful comments on her Facebook page. BVM," gushed one follower, underneath a photo showing Melton cradling an emotional fan in her arms. Yet as she prepared to publish her second book—a no-holds-barred account of her marital struggles that culminates with a reconciled Glennon and Craig in bed doing "the dance of surrender" and "finally, after 13 years of marriage, fall[ing] in love"—there was a snag: Glennon announced that she and her leading man were separating.
That would have seemed to undercut the premise of the new book, but shortly thereafter, Melton scored the holy grail—the blessing of Oprah Winfrey.
In a segment that aired on September 11 on OWN's SuperSoul Sunday, Melton and the Queen of All Media are shown sitting on wicker chairs drinking iced tea and strolling across Oprah's spacious Montecito backyard, swinging hands like schoolgirls as they "share the truth of their lives.
Love Warrior was an instant smash, debuting at number one on the New York Times best-seller list. Unbeknown to her fans, though, Melton had even more truth to share: She'd fallen in love with Abby and wanted to go public. Her kitchen cabinet told her that this time, she'd better keep her lip zipped.
It's just such an extreme pivot. Everyone else who cared about her said, 'Don't do this thing. You're going to sabotage your life. Everything you've worked so hard for is going to be destroyed. Even God's Girl coughed up a hairball. When Melton confided in her new friend on the eve of her official coming-out, "Oprah said, 'Get ready.
The bloodbath will be tomorrow,'" Melton recalls. The next day, she posted a selfie on her Facebook page of her and Abby grinning: "Feels like the world could use all the love it can get right now.
So today, I'm going to share with you my new love. Her name is Abby. You might recognize her from soccer. Melton's fans took the news in stride; the bloodbath never came. Another wrote: "I just don't have a 'Love' emoji big enough for this. She lost 4, followers. She gained 6, As of this writing, Love Warrior has more than , copies in circulation and been translated into 18 languages.
As for Craig, he remembers receiving an urgent text message from Glennon one afternoon, saying she had something very serious to discuss. On the way, I was thinking, Either she has cancer, or she's gay. When he found out it wasn't cancer, "I hit the floor bawling," he says. Both of us had been working on ourselves. We'd entered a phase that was supposed to be a new life for us. It was a shock. It felt like the end of the world. But eventually, Craig says, he felt he had no choice but to accept his new reality.
Glennon and Abby are, after all, "two women following their hearts," he says, slipping into Glennon-speak. Finding true love? Even celebs are lining up to sing the book's praises!
British singer-songwriter Adele credits Untamed for changing her outlook on life. She took to Instagram with an impassioned review, writing "If you're ready — this book will shake your brain and make your soul scream. I am so ready for myself after reading this book! It's as if I just flew into my body for the very first time! Anyone who has any kind of capacity to truly let go and give into yourself with any kind of desire to hold on for dear life — do it.
Adele isn't Doyle's only celebrity fan, either. Oprah named her as one of the world's "awakened leaders who are using their voices and talent to elevate humanity" via The Guardian and Witherspoon featured Untamed as her April Book Club pick.
Glennon Doyle has long been harnessing the power of her words to enact change, but in the past few years, she's blogged less about motherhood and more about Black Lives Matter and the need for intersectionality. A Desert Sun article dubbed Doyle "a voice for progressive Christianity Open, signed a 'love letter' to Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and posted a video of herself sitting on the floor of a bookstore sharing her favorite titles by transgender writers 'to counteract fear mongering and ignorance with love mongering and education.
Through her Momastery community, Doyle founded Together Rising in But as all athletes know, getting better at anything is a process. Strengthening any muscle, physical or emotional, takes reps.
I didn't really know what the hell I was doing, and Glennon—if you could see her parenting in action, it would be like going to be the assistant of the best coach that ever was and having no experience.
But over time I realized that we both have very different strengths and we both do provide very different things for each of our kids. There's no one-stop-shop parenting. And while Melton does his equal share as a co-parent, Wambach acknowledged that her wife's ex-husband needed a minute to wrap his head around the new normal. He gave these children permission to love me. It was truly maybe the greatest gift anybody's ever given me and, probably, Glennon.
Melton told the New York Times , "I've seen a lot of people in similar situations where the two exes put their egos first and the kids suffer. I wanted to be the best role model I could, knowing there was some damage that was my fault in the relationship.
Doyle, who on her website several years before meeting Wambach had written about being a Christian and seeing no issue with homosexuality, said on No Filter , "I'm so grateful that I have always taught my kids that we celebrate who people are on every level and we stand up for people who are marginalized in any way, because when it came time for them to live it out they didn't have to unlearn any crap.
They were open-armed to Abby. I mean, it really feels like she's not somebody that was added to our family—and Craig would tell you the same thing—it feels like she was missing from our family. Perhaps that's why it seems as if they've been making up for lost time, cherishing every minute together and amassing memories right and left:. That's how we both describe it. Talking about how quickly they realized they wanted to be together, after only briefly chatting in person when their respective book tours brought them to the same place, she said, "Sure, I was worried about everything.
I was so scared. My God, I had so much to worry about at that time. But it's interesting when you say 'fast'; it did happen fast and it didn't. I mean, we didn't even touch each other or hug each other. Are we insane?
Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, an "act of joyful resistance. Deeply committed to fighting for those who come after. Now both Wambach and Doyle are sought-after experts, audiences pumping them for information about the secrets of their success—and how they've mastered the modern family. We also had to open all the lines of communication. We've each worked to create the most beautiful and truest versions of ourselves, and by virtue, we've created the most beautiful version of a marriage we can dream of.
It's not something that we sit idly by waiting for. It's something that we actually proactively go out and cocreate together. I remember sitting down with Abby, and being like, 'I'm all for equality and everything, but I really need to know which one of us gets the bugs. She acknowledged that she played the more old-fashioned, traditional-wife role during her first marriage, "And I think when we first got married, I just kind of defaulted and passed that over to Abby.
