Glennon Doyle (born March 20, 1976) is an American author and queer activist known for her books Untamed, Love Warrior, Carry On, Warrior, and We Can Do Hard Things. Doyle is also the creator of the online community Momastery, and is the founder and president of Together Rising, an all-women-led nonprofit organization supporting women, families, and children in crisis.
In 2016, a follow-up memoir, Love Warrior was released. In September 2016, it was selected to be a part of Oprah's Book Club 2.0.
A third memoir, Untamed, was published in 2020. In April 2020, the book was selected to be a part of Reese Witherspoon's Reese's Book Club (Hello Sunshine • Book Club).
Untamed has sold more than two million copies as of February 2021. A television series based on Untamed is being developed by J. J. Abrams's production company, with Sarah Paulson expected to be the lead. Sarah Paulson was the only actress to audition for the role, and Doyle said Paulson is the perfect actress to play her because she is "somebody who is a transformational actor, who is in touch with the world and involved in everything we care about, and who is queer".
In May 2021, Doyle launched a podcast titled We Can Do Hard Things. This podcast stars Doyle's wife, Abby Wambach, and sister, Amanda. It carries similar themes to Untamed.
Doyle has also made several appearances on the Together Live Tour, created by Jennifer Rudolph Walsh.

In 2020, Doyle became a co-owner of the Angel City Football Club in Los Angeles, California.
Doyle met Abby Wambach on a book tour. In November 2016, Doyle announced that she was in a relationship with Wambach; they married on May 14, 2017. They moved to Hermosa Beach, California, in 2021, purchasing a $6.5 million home.

Awards and recognition
In 2014, Parents named Doyle and Momastery the winner of its award for Best All-Around at Social Media. In 2021, Doyle was included in the Fast Company Queer 50 list.
Philanthropy
Doyle founded Together Rising, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, with an effective date of May 25, 2012. As of December 2020, Together Rising has raised over $25 million for people in need. Together Rising exists to "transform collective heartbreak into effective action." Most of Together Rising's funds are raised through time-limited crowd-sourced fund-raisers in which contributors are limited to giving a maximum of $25 to meet a particular need. This strategy is designed to build community, to enable people from all income groups to be able to donate ("democratize the giving"), and overcome indecision about how much to give.
Personal life
Doyle was married to Craig Melton, a former model, until 2016; and they have three children. The family moved from Centreville, Virginia, to Naples, Florida.
