Season 1: Episode 24

In this episode, we wrap up our Chapter Chats series by debriefing the final 70 pages of Untamed by Glennon Doyle. Samm shares her last three takeaways from these final pages. These takeaways include how our emotions are actually signals from the body to dive deeper and how we frequently choose “ineffective solutions” – choosing to eat or drink rather than dig. Glennon brings back the old Staples’ commercial easy button and Samm is inspired to chat about the opportunities that present themselves when we finally gain momentum in our connected paths. But Samm’s final takeaway really hits home, as she is fully transparent about the realities of love and marriage. 

Season 1: Episode 23

In this episode, Samm continues unpacking Untamed by Glennon Doyle. In these 70 pages, Samm finds herself pushed outside her comfort zone and in the depths of the pool of vulnerability. When it comes to personal growth and vulnerability it is a continual evolution, as we reach a new level of comfort we are then challenged to go deeper. Samm touches on the most intimate relationships of our lives, the human filter that seems to be lacking lately, and the broad need for all of us to unlearn.

Season 1: Episode 22

In this episode, it got real as Samm read the next 70 pages of Untamed by Glennon Doyle. It was almost as if Glennon’s words jumped off the page and materialized in her life. The words that specifically materialized all spoke strongly to the mindset regarding parenting. Alluding to this somewhat infamous model we believe we must be for our children. Samm questions if this model of perfection is ultimately doing a disservice to our children by trying to protect them from the messiness and sometimes terrifying aspects of life that they will inevitably have to face someday.
