A Soul Sister Who Gets It

Written By Erika Shapiro

Holly shit!!! I finally found the book that says everything that I’ve been wanting to say, but didn’t have the right words!!!

“Untamed” by Glennon Doyle has changed my life and I have finally found a soul sister who gets it!!!

It was like she has been experiencing everything that I have experienced and put it into the most incredible book I have ever read. She has helped me find the right words that I will be screaming it from every soapbox that I can find, because Glennon may be an introvert, but I am absolutely not!!!!

I will be sharing it with every new friend I meet, and recommending it to every person who is struggling to understand my journey or struggling in their own journey.

THIS is why I am building my coaching program for women!

  • For women to learn to listen and trust their inner knowing!

  • For women to reconnect to their Inner Awesome.

  • For women to rejoice in who they are and not shrink because others don’t understand or feel uncomfortable with their true selves.

I’m excited to lead the way for women to unapologetically love themselves and all of their strengths AND weaknesses.

To embrace our flawed human selves and lead others in an honest and vulnerable way of being. This is the way!!!!

Thank you Glennon for so beautifully putting into words what I have been trying to articulate! 

Trust the knowing!

“We must feel all of our feelings.
We must be still and know.
We must dare to imagine.
And we must always be willing to let burn what isn't true enough anymore in order to build the new.
Again and again forever.
These things are hard.
But we can do hard things.
Because when we do, we finally become alive.”

(Glennon Doyle, Get Untamed The Journal)

“A woman becomes a responsible parent when she stops being an obedient daughter.”

“When she finally understands that she is creating something different from what her parents created. When she begins to build her island not to their specifications but to hers. When she finally understands that it is not her duty to convince everyone on her island to accept and respect her and her children. It is her duty to allow onto her island only those who already do and who will walk across the drawbridge as the beloved, respectful guests they are.

… Do not lower the drawbridge for anything other than what you have decided is permitted on your island, no matter who is carrying it.

…. to choose between remaining an obedient daughter and becoming a responsible mother.

Choose mother. Every damn time from here on out, choose mother.”

(Untamed, p194, Glennon Doyle)
