236. Abby Wambach: Will I Ever Be Truly Loved?

Today, we celebrate the one-and-only Abby – and her rare gift of vulnerability and storytelling. Our favorite person on the planet – Abby Wambach – is going deep, answering the questions that we all have, but that only Glennon and Amanda can ask. Abby shares, in an intensely new and courageous way, about her lifelong pursuit of love – including her complicated relationships with her mom, soccer, her first marriage, queerness, and her “shadow self” – and why she has questioned her own lovability for so much of her life.
