Glennon made a big name for herself in the US as a ‘Christian mommy blogger’ with her candid and often hilarious writing.

Alongside her blackly funny posts about the challenges of parenting, Glennon wrote about her recovery from alcoholism and bulimia. She encouraged her growing tribe of followers to feel their feelings rather than numbing them.

Glennon then used her platform to create an allwomenled non profit organization. Together Rising has raised $27 million for women, families, and children in crisis.

A few years ago Glennon's husband Craig confessed he'd been unfaithful to her for years. She decided to stay in the marriage and fight for it.

In 2017 Glennon was at a conference launching her book Love Warrior about recommitting to her marriage.

When she saw US women’s soccer star, Abby Wambach, Glennon immediately fell madly in love.

She upended her life to be with Abby, and had to rethink many of her ideas about marriage and motherhood in the process.
