In my opinion, her blog is a “truth-telling blog” where Glennon had the courage to reveal all of her life, including the dark, gritty parts that most people would hide. While many people have labelled Glennon’s blog a “mommy blog,” that doesn’t do it justice.

She also founded the nonprofit Together Rising, and perhaps most impressively, built up her popular blog launched in 2009 ( ) to millions of views per year. Prior to meeting Abby, Glennon Doyle had authored two books- Love Warrior and Carry On, Warrior-both New York Times best-sellers. After partnering with Glennon in 2016, Abby released another book on leadership, Wolfpack. Before Glennon Met Abby WambachĪfter retiring from professional soccer, Abby Wambach wrote the book, Forward: A Memoir, and made speaking appearances across the country. They are also working in partnership with each other-and other powerful women-to change the world. They’re impressive for many reasons, including that they make marriage and parenting look easy, manage a blended family, and have powerful careers. Far more than a sports memoir, Forward is gripping tale of resilience and redemption-and a reminder that heroism is, above all, about embracing life’s challenges with fearlessness and heart.While both were famous prior to meeting one another, Abby Wambach and Glennon Doyle stole the spotlight when they announced a relationship in November of 2016 and married in early 2017. With stunning candor, Abby shares her inspiring and often brutal journey from girl in Rochester, New York, to world-class athlete. Called an inspiration and “badass” by President Obama, Abby has become a fierce advocate for women’s rights and equal opportunity, pushing to translate the success of her team to the real world.Īs she reveals in this searching memoir, Abby’s professional success often masked her inner struggle to reconcile the various parts of herself: ferocious competitor, daughter, leader, wife. At age thirty-five she would become the highest goal scorer-male or female-in the history of soccer, capturing the nation’s heart with her team’s 2015 World Cup Championship. At age seven she was put on the boys’ soccer team. ” -Adam Grant, Wharton professor and New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Give and TakeĪbby Wambach has always pushed the limits of what is possible. “This is the best memoir I’ve read by an athlete since Andre Agassi’s Open. 'Forward is the powerful story of an athlete who has inspired girls all over the world to believe in themselves.' -Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook COO, New York Times Bestselling author of Lean In Forward puts achievement in context with painful and beautiful candor.' -NPR
