    Description

    1. How to know when it’s time to get out or stick it out – and the quit that set Abbi on course to meet Ilana and create Broad City.
    2. The life lessons of improv comedy: How to get out of your head, trust your choices, and make something together. 
    3. Abbi and Abby share similar but opposite stories about relationships that changed their lives (and whether to tuck or untuck shirts). 
    4. Why reimagining A League of Their Own was the Next Right project for Abbi – and how its label as a “queer show” frustrates her.

    I’m Glennon Doyle, author of Untamed – the book that was released at the very start of the pandemic and became a lifeline for millions. I watched in awe from my home while this simple phrase from Untamed – WE CAN DO HARD THINGS – the mantra that saved my life twenty years ago, became a worldwide rally cry. Because we experienced the hardship of the pandemic collectively, many of us finally acknowledged what was true before COVID and will be true after: That life is freaking HARD. We are all doing hard things every single day – things like loving and losing caring for children and parents; forging and ending friendships; battling addiction, illness, and loneliness; struggling in our jobs, our marriages, and our divorces; setting boundaries; and fighting for equality, purpose, freedom, joy, and peace. On We Can Do Hard Things, my sister Amanda and I will do the only thing I’ve found that has ever made life easier: We will drop the fake and talk honestly about the hard. Each week we will bring our hard to you and we will ask you to bring your hard to us and we will do what we were all meant to do down here: Help each other carry the hard so we can all live a little bit lighter and braver, more free and less alone.
