This episode offers a thoughtful, critical review of Glennon Doyle’s most recent memoir, Untamed. We offer a brief summary of the book before diving into some of the ways we relate (and don’t relate) to Glennon’s experience. Then we ask some critical questions about the book, paying particular attention to some of the broad generalizations (around gender and gender roles) and the “steps” to rewilding the self that Glennon lays out in the book.

TW: mention of eating disorders, miscarriage, addiction, self-harm

In this episode we’re differentiating “real” self-care from the industry that sells a one-size-fits-all definition. We talk about productivity and accessibility, separate self-care from self-pleasure and rest, and explore the role of collective-care. Plus, we share how our self-care practices have shifted lately (and why that’s a good thing).

What’s the difference between rituals and habits? Can they be “good” or “bad” (or helpful or unhelpful)? Is consistency of practice required or optional? Is “going through the motions” beneficial… or not? 

In this episode we explain our early experiences with and current practices of habits and rituals. We consider whether “consistency” is really necessary, what makes ritual practice meaningful, and whether there’s really any advice we can offer to people creating rituals for the first time.
