    Description

    1. Fortune’s life as a debutante without a couch and her first coming out party. 
    2. Fortune’s 21st birthday, and her family’s complicated relationship with Hooters. 
    3. The joys and perils of growing up as an 80s kid, and the shock of moving to LA from a small Southern town. 
    4. What Fortune was watching when she finally realized she was queer, and how she built community when she realized she was the only gay person she knew. 
    5. How she learned to let go of being someone she’s not – and starting living to please herself.

    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.
