If you feel like your own wants, desires and needs too often fall way down your to-do list, this episode is for you. It’s a conversation with Glennon Doyle: activist, author and the woman who Reese Witherspoon credits with helping her feel strong enough to handle the destabilising uncertainty of life right now. Glennon’s powerful writing on mental health, motherhood and self-discovery has been lauded by the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Brené Brown and Gwyneth Paltrow, while her latest book Untamed: Stop Pleasing, Start Living has spent weeks at the top of the New York Times bestseller list. Here, she joins Roisín to discuss how she learned to stop chasing other peoples’ goals in order to shoot for the life – and love – she really wanted. And, of course, she shares her road-tested tips for how all of you can do this, too.

Glennon’s third memoir, Untamed: Stop Pleasing, Start Living is published by Vermillion and out now
