Glennon Doyle
Born: March 20, 1976 – Burke, Virginia, United States
Glennon Doyle is an American author and speaker whose work focuses on personal growth, addiction recovery, motherhood, faith, and women’s empowerment. She is best known for the bestselling memoirs Love Warrior and Untamed; Love Warrior was selected for Oprah’s Book Club, and Untamed became a widely read cultural touchstone.
Biography & Author's Journey
Glennon Doyle grew up in Burke, Virginia, in a family of educators, attended local public schools there, studied at James Madison University, and after graduation worked as a third-grade teacher. She has written and spoken openly about early bulimia, later alcohol and drug addiction, and recovery, experiences that helped shape a voice marked by candor rather than polish. Long before she became a bestselling author, the defining pattern of her work was already visible: she returned again and again to the gap between the life people perform and the life they actually live.
