![]() Jen, you are one of my favorites.Ībby: Not only do I stalk you online, but your work, your writing, your humor. Jen: Well, it is lucky, lucky, lucky me, and lucky everybody listening, because my friend is on the podcast today. I hope you love this conversation with a woman filled with character and courage, my friend Abby Wambach. So I’m happy to bring her to you today, I really am. I scribbled a handful of really furious notes while she was talking, because so many things she said meant a lot to me. I admire both the internal work that she has done with a lot of transparency, and all the lessons that she so generously shares with her community. She is a really special woman, a special friend, a special leader. Abby lives in Florida with her wife-my good friend, the wonderful and amazing Glennon Doyle, who I also love-and their three children. She is the co-founder of Wolfpack Endeavor, which is essentially revolutionizing leadership development for women in the workplace and beyond. You don’t have to know beans about sports to walk away with so much depth from this book. And her latest, which I love-in fact, I was with her on her tour stop in Houston as her interviewer-is called Wolfpack: How to Come Together, Unleash Our Power, and Change the Game. She’s a New York Times bestselling author of not one, but two books. Now, Abby is an activist for equality and for inclusion, which we’re going to talk about. She literally finished her soccer career at the top of the game. Abby is a two-time Olympic gold medalist, FIFA World Cup champion, and-this is just so special-the highest all-time international goal scorer for male and female soccer players. My guest today is Abby Wambach, no big deal. She’s one of my favorites, and I think the world of her. ![]() In 100 ways, she is helping women and men become their best selves. She does this really well, and we talk about this at length. This one is a real winner, because she holds up a mirror and says, “These stories that you’re telling yourself, are these really true? Because I see something a little bit different.” So that is why we are here, and I wanted to talk to people who could essentially shepherd our thoughts toward crossing the finish line of this year with energy, and with integrity, and with excitement and enthusiasm for what has been and what is to come. So I thought, I wonder what it would look like to consider finishing not just 2019 strong, but this entire decade strong. It makes me feel sluggish and behind, and off task, and that just doesn’t work for me. What I want it to do is feel like a break, like I’m taking a break and I have a breather and I’m resting. It has been a year and I know my own tendency, which is to hit this portion of the year and just slide into entropy, right? Into absolute inertia, which never does what I want it to do for me. And I’ve got to be honest with you, I am kind of doing this series for myself. Jen: You probably know that we are in a short series called For the Love of Finishing Strong. Thanks for listening! We hope you enjoy the show. But she mostly loves talking to amazing people every week on this podcast. Welcome to the For the Love Podcast, with your host Jen Hatmaker, my mom.
