In this episode of Badass Books & Besties, we’re diving deep into Book Club Session 2 of Untamed by Glennon Doyle—and this conversation is honest, layered, and anything but surface-level.
Pulled straight from one of our live Badass Book Besties discussions, this episode captures real women reacting in real time to Untamed: what resonated, what challenged us, and what didn’t sit right. We talk openly about purpose, the pressure to be endlessly productive, and the complicated question of what it actually means to feel “enough”—especially as women navigating work, relationships, expectations, and identity.
This isn’t a polished book review or a highlight reel of quotes. It’s a candid book club conversation where we explore:
How productivity and hustle culture get tied to worthinessWhy rest can feel like failure—and why that’s so hard to unlearnThe idea that heartbreak and anger might point us toward purposeContradictions in Untamed that sparked debate and frustrationConfidence, imposter syndrome, and why women downplay themselvesWhat “being untamed” really looks like in real life—not just on the pageIf you listened to Session 1, this episode builds on that foundation and goes deeper into the messy middle of the book—where inspiration, discomfort, and disagreement all collide. And if you’re new here, you’ll quickly learn this is a space where you don’t have to pretend a book worked for you just because it’s popular.
Whether Untamed empowered you, irritated you, or left you conflicted, this conversation invites you to think more deeply about your own relationship with purpose, productivity, and self-worth.
🎧 Press play, pour a drink, and join us for one of our most thought-provoking book club conversations yet.
