Why I Read The Book “Untamed”
Before I started reading “Untamed,” I was at a crossroads in my life. I was trying to figure out who I was, why I was here, and where I belonged.

I had no idea that !!!!
It would turn into a compass on my path to empowerment and self-acceptance.
“Untamed” in a Nutshell
Doyle starts the book by thinking about her early years and early adulthood, during which she attempted to live up to the expectations of her family, church, and society. She talks about her battles with addiction, an eating disorder called bulimia and a turbulent first marriage—all of which were attempts to dull her own emotions of unhappiness and unhappiness.
Doyle describes these as turning points in her life that resulted in profound understandings and changes in perspective throughout the book. One such occasion was when she went to a convention and ran with soccer star Abby Wambach, her future wife. This encounter set off a life-changing path of self-awareness and love. Doyle subsequently wed soccer player Abby Wambach, and the focus of his memoir “Untamed” is their marriage.
