We Can Do Hard Things

Glennon Doyle teams up with her wife Abby Wambach and her sister Amanda Doyle to create what they call a support system for braving the everyday, and with half a billion total plays and a 4.8-star rating from over 40,000 reviews, it's a support system a lot of people clearly needed. The show releases twice a week and covers personal relationships, social justice, self-improvement, and whatever else the trio feels like wrestling with that day. The three hosts have distinct roles that click together naturally. Glennon brings raw emotional honesty and a writer's instinct for finding the exact right words. Abby adds the competitive athlete's perspective -- direct, no-nonsense, sometimes hilariously blunt. Amanda grounds everything with humor and a willingness to ask the question everyone else is thinking but won't say out loud. They interview authors, activists, artists, and experts, but the best episodes are often just the three of them talking through a problem together. Gen Z listeners connect with this show because it treats vulnerability as strength without being saccharine about it. The conversations about identity, relationships, and systemic issues feel urgent and honest. They've raised $56 million in global aid through their platform, so this isn't just talk -- there's action behind it. Some episodes are investigative deep dives into systemic problems; others are lighter lifestyle conversations. The mix keeps things from getting heavy enough to feel like homework. It's the podcast equivalent of having the coolest, most emotionally intelligent family dinner you've ever attended.
