Glennon Doyle and Audacy
About this episode

On our third anniversary, we’re taking a look back at our first anniversary when 15,000 Pod Squaders joined us live to discuss:  

- Why Amanda started taking meds, Glennon keeps taking meds – and why Abby might consider taking meds :) 

- The brilliant preemptive post mortem strategy to help you emotionally recover from any gathering.  

- Your most frequently asked question of Abby: How she tracked down her first love connection at the Macaroni Grill.

- The pie chart of showing up – and why it’s rarely ever 100%.  

- Glennon shares her first steps up from the “landing” of her eating disorder relapse.
