[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Never Glennon who I considered to be a clear toxic narcissist from the get go.[/quote]

Years ago, when a Jen fan, I checked out Momastery and while I liked Glennon's writing and really liked a couple of her posts, she had a crazy-eyed look that made me think she was a little cuckoo.  And...here we are. She is actually mentally ill.  Her sister is a brat and Abby is trying to make the relationship work with all her Olympian strength but wow, it's a struggle. 
I can't even bring myself to hate-listen to her podcast.

It's getting more and more painful to listen to their podcast. Last week with Liz Gilbert was almost unbearable. Your short summary really hits the nail on the head with these 3. And brace yourselves, now that Glennon "writes from love" and figured out what "forgiveness" is (of course, none of the rest of us peasants could ever truly understand or experience forgiveness without Glennon's "definition"), she's considering writing another book. [/quote]

omg every time Glennon seems to think she has some new thing to say, it's just so aggravating. I thought she had something new to say with @love warrior" but then, that was a complete farce, as a reader above mentioned. Then, with "Untamed" she  was supposed to be all free and reborn, and admitted that she's been anorexic the entire time. It's sad that she was suffering , but she made MILLIONS pretending she was more evolved than everyone else. I don't wish any unhappiness or illness on anyone, butI do expect transparency--instead we get influencers like Glennon and Jen who act as if they are superior, having lt all figured out. [/quote]

I have mixed feelings on Glennon, but she didn't have to disclose her health condition to the whole world on her podcast, and she did, knowing it would absolutely be seen by  many as hypocritical. Isn't that transparency? When she wrote Untamed, she didn't know she was anorexic. She had a hard time accepting it apparently even when told quite bluntly by specialists - that kind of denial is part of the disease, which is what the specialist told her when she denied it. Anyone who reads any of her books and thinks they're suggestive that she (or anyone's books, thinking they) "have it all figured out" has their own problems. There's not a single book in the world written by someone who actually has it "all figured out." "All figured out" doesn't exist. In any event, I think it's shitty to rag on someone for their health condition, that they opted to disclose and certainly didn't have to.[/quote]
