It always reflects something in you that you want for yourself. I always say - don’t just slay your demons. Dissect them and find out what they’ve been feeding on.
Glennon is easily the most real and raw guest I've ever seen on an interview. Fantastic interview Lewis, this one is easily one of the best I've seen from this channel!
I just found this woman, and love what she stands for. Will look for her books and read them !! Pain is necessary to grow I'm just learning that Wow!!!! Priceless!!!
I've LOVED Glennon's book... I'm a psychotherapist and her book, AND this interview, make me so happy and so proud of every warrior that gets help and overcomes their issues ❤️ YOU CAN MAKE IT! WE CAN MAKE IT... TOGETHER! ❤️
One of the most important and soul soothing interactions I’ve ever heard. So many nuggets on relationships, addiction, choosing who you want to be in this world and how to show up where you make a difference. Thank you both for the work you do in this world.
And for who you both are. It takes tremendous courage to be vulnerable but it’s what everyone is really drawn to-you speak to their souls. Thank you. 🙏
Such a beautiful time. I wouldn't trade that hour I just spent - what a rejuvenating, blissful, healing, loving and reflecting conversation. This channel is such an incredible resource.
What wisdom Glennon shares here! Especially her description of the two kinds of pain: the "badass" pain where you show your true self, and recover faster and you feel stronger and free and real, vs. the pain of hiding, which is this withering, slow death. She is so insightful, and she's a breath of fresh air. I enjoyed your input too, Lewis. Thank you for a great interview!
I just finished "Love Warrior" and it is a life changing book. Glennon's honesty and vulnerability is challenging, hard and inspiring. Thank you for being brave enough to share your story, Glennon. Lewis, I am a huge fan. Thank you for sharing your message of greatness every day!
What a great day. Just saw Glennon's interview on Marie TV this am and now yours. She is great. She is so real and full of so many great nuggets of wisdom. I am so happy she was there to help you Lewis. Great interview.
I was reading "Face to face with fear" book just an hour ago, which is about our inner mechanisms of pain avoiding. And now I'm seeing that video about the same topic. Something is in the air. Amazing! Thank you for the video, Lewis!
Authentic, down to earth. Loved being fly on the wall here. So much of society preys on the illusions of the naive. This creates all sorts of confusion, corruption, ect ect. It's like you have the people who know this, and the people who don't know this... And we often feel like some group is the in group which makes some group be the out group. But life is unity. It's not us and them.. It's a whole... We are together in this. Thanks for sharing.
"Our story is wonderful because we used something crappy to become whole" bingo. Amazing stuff, Glennon. I'm a reader (and a writer) and I've never read (or written) something so true.
ADDICTION IS a place for sensitive people to hide!! YOU can hide from PAIN but ALSO LOVE!! I WANT PAIN! AS MUCH PAIN AS POSSIBLE 'cause that will help me BECOME THE BEST WIFE EVER! Thanks, Glennon & Lewis!! YOU ARE WORTH IT!
"We can do hard things. We belong to each other. LOVE WINS." -- thank you both so much for being brave and overcoming and adding so much value into the world
When she talks about her relationship with her Sister during her years of addiction (22:30 mark), that is some POWERFUL truth. Amazing interview, intimate questions, raw and true answers. I'm sharing this video with everyone I know. (25:00) "When you know it, know it" that's an arrow through the heart of addiction and families of addicts.
I love this. "We can do hard things. We belong together. (changed that part) Love wins." I'm going to make a sign for our home saying this! Our family is built by adoption, and we've all had messy lives, so this will so supportive to see daily. Thanks for an amazing and REAL interview!
wow! wow! wow! Thank you both for that wonderful, love filled, intimate conversation. I kept saying "yes" and commenting. I love Glennon like a sister, I was one of her first 2000 followers and appreciate her truth telling and out loud living! She is BRAVE! Lewis, nice to meet you and thank you for being a man not afraid to talk about the hard stuff and ask the hard questions!
Love the quote "Vote your body back on the island." This is the first time I have ever heard this perspectives in relationships. Thanks for introducing me to Glennon.
OMG! I just watched this for the first time and I'm only 15 minutes in and I got to say this woman has said so many things that has resonated with me it's very eye-opening very scary at the same time knowing that someone out there is being a bigger better braver more courageous then you and that can be heartbreaking sometimes because you know deep in your heart that that is something you've always wanted and or dreamed of Our fear keeps us from many things.
There are not words to express how wonderful this was!!! I loved how raw & truth filled it was. So inspiring & encouraging. I am an eternal optimist by nature and I loved the truth spoken in this about how through pain we grow & without it we wither.Thank you for this interview & this video. #lovewins
I am very impressed with Glennon and I don't impress easily I just put her book on reserve to pick it up today...I love the honesty and brutiful life she speaks of I also say her on Marie TV and was again impressed. I went to her blog and other sites as she has done such amazing things for our LOST Children which is something very close to my heart. Thank you for having her on....
I loved this interview. I appreciate your sincerity with your guests. Gle Doyle M. I appreciated her honesty. Lastly, but so incredibly important to me and many others, thank you for a clean program with a difficult topic.
New subbie here Lewis & new fan of Glennon!! God bless you both!! I cried multiple times in just this video so will have to watch the rest of your other videos later after I get out of my own "vulnerable hangover"!!
I like the stuff about running. I ran my first marathon when I was 14 and I agree that how running can push past comfort zones. Also, the different types of loving reminds me of the five love languages. Great interview Lewis.
Omg Glennon.....ur words about chemical imbalance and not loving enough struck an almighty cord. I could never figure out if my depression was from a bad childhood or a chemical imbalance, but when u said that it struck a cord. God bless you
This has to be one of my absolute favorite episodes (potentially my favorite)! Thank you Glennon Doyle Melton for living out loud and sharing yourself and your journey with the world. You so human, and genuine, and raw, and I look at you and feel like you're someone I could totally hang with. I'm also grateful that you've shared your experience with addiction so openly, as I am the son of two addicts, addiction runs deep in my family, and your words really helped me understand addiction even more, and also affirmed my boundaries within those relationships. I look forward to sitting across from you and sharing my journey someday soon Lewis (black, broke, gay, entrepreneurial, spiritual - a minority in my world). Thank you for your interviews and the work you do. You have a gift for seeing people, going deep, and asking the powerful and impactful questions we sometimes don't even know we wanted answers to. Love and Hugs Brother!
It's sooooo interesting listening to this interview all these years later knowing that things didn't work out in her marriage and that she eventually found love with another woman. It's funny how all this can be completely true and yet there still be room for another, new truth.
***** while that's true in the long run, it's also true that sometimes to get to love, things need to come to an end. Things need to be destroyed in order for the new to be created. And if we hold onto the old, that's when its hard. Not that it's bad, but it can be difficult. Both of you are right.
This is such a great interview! So brave in sharing the very truth. I am 10 minutes in and... My god, what will the rest of it be like!P.S.: Lewis, I'd like to thank you for another interview, a while ago. Headspace. It's been a game changer. Even though I do it in bed at night before going to sleep.
Just watched Glennon on CBS where she says she is leaving her husband. I guess something happened between this interview and that of CBS. But love the lessons - especially the one on pain ...'don't waste pain'
Lewis, I was hoping that you would be able to send me the link to your interview/blog from a year and a half to two years ago. I would really appreciate hearing things from your perspective as I have someone in my life that was affected the same way during their childhood. Thank you,
Wow, I am watching this interview of Glennon Doyle with Lewis and I just saw Oprah's announcement that Glennon's book "Love Warrior" is the latest selection for Oprah's Book Club! What a coincidence!
Louis are you just trying to kill me. Look at me talking to you as if you know me. Anyway your beautiful shows helps my life greatly every time I watch it. And I always put you on when I sit down to list items in my EBay stores. Thank you so much for being you. PEACE.
HI, I looooved your interview with Glennon! tks! just wanted to make a comment when she made reference to her mental health as an "illness " and medicine...recently I found the wonderful work and studies from Dr. Peter Breggin from Harvard University (70 something wonderful doctor) who has dealt with mental health issues in a loving way and a different way in Finland they deal with people who have "signs of ezquisophrenia" they do not think the actual illness exists... There is another wonderful work by Mary Ellen Copeland who developed WRAP (wellness recouperation action plan) and how she went from a mental hospital patient to a person who lives life with its ups and downs and thousand of people have been helped and come out of medicine by joining their community. Would love to know if Glennon has heard of any of these people/programs. Tks again :) Evelyn (from Chile :)
Yet another great interview Lewis, you should interview Steve Harvey and you Really should interview a guy by the name of Micah lancaster he is a basketball Skills coach.
Lovely experience and wisdom about addictions, thank you Glennon. I disagree about depression being a mental illness-- I track it back to the same core issue as addictions (learned self-rejection). So perhaps love could heal all of it.
I think it's both...depression can result from learned self-rejection (that's such an accurate phrase) but there are also folks who have never experienced that depth of rejection who have depression.
There's no test to prove depression exists or that there is lack of serotonin in brain. I can say people feel depressed sure I've felt that in past, and believed I was going to be like that for life as psychiatrists said I would be . I've not been depressed for over 20 years, after addressing exercise, getting into nature, meditation daily and having many many therapies. I can say it can be months that I go without having a negative thought, and that took effort to get there but I worked on me for years. I help others to get over stuff in their life and help people get empowered by finding that all meaning in life is made up so might as well make up good meanings.
Hi, I'm Monalisa ... Could you please create a video on why some times we are not happy after getting the most desired thing .. I mean sometimes it's like to me that I'm not happy in or not happy out .. Why this disgusting thing happens ?.. Help please!!
I love Glennon and these long-form interviews give us a lot of insight into Lewis's podcast guests which is great, but some of Lewis's comments or questions are just wayy off the mark and invasive. I just don't see how "what do you think you cry about the most?" is even relevant, plus that's insanely demanding to ask of someone to reveal. She already reveals a lot; no need to go in even harder. I don't get where he was trying to go with that question.
In her book, Love Warrior, she describes a show she watched as a young girl that taught her how to avoid pain. If you read her book you will understand the whole picture of "why" she avoided the pain. It is a fantastic read, I just finished. Now I think I'll go back through taking notes the second time around.
Interviews where the interviewer has actually read the book are far more interesting and in depth. She's talking about deep issues on a serious topic, he's trying to keep it light and at times sounds bored. Couldn't finish watching.
"When ever you're envious of someone...look closer because it may reveal where you want to go" ; mind blown, tremendous insight!!!

Lewis Howes
It always reflects something in you that you want for yourself. I always say - don’t just slay your demons. Dissect them and find out what they’ve been feeding on.
Glennon is easily the most real and raw guest I've ever seen on an interview. Fantastic interview Lewis, this one is easily one of the best I've seen from this channel!
This woman always says things so casually that completely blow my mind.
I just found this woman, and love what she stands for. Will look for her books and read them !! Pain is necessary to grow I'm just learning that Wow!!!! Priceless!!!
I've LOVED Glennon's book... I'm a psychotherapist and her book, AND this interview, make me so happy and so proud of every warrior that gets help and overcomes their issues ❤️ YOU CAN MAKE IT! WE CAN MAKE IT... TOGETHER! ❤️

I was reading "Face to face with fear" book just an hour ago, which is about our inner mechanisms of pain avoiding. And now I'm seeing that video about the same topic. Something is in the air. Amazing! Thank you for the video, Lewis!
Authentic, down to earth. Loved being fly on the wall here.
So much of society preys on the illusions of the naive.
This creates all sorts of confusion, corruption, ect ect.
It's like you have the people who know this, and the people who don't know this...
And we often feel like some group is the in group which makes some group be the out group.
But life is unity. It's not us and them.. It's a whole... We are together in this.
Thanks for sharing.
"Our story is wonderful because we used something crappy to become whole" bingo. Amazing stuff, Glennon. I'm a reader (and a writer) and I've never read (or written) something so true.
ADDICTION IS a place for sensitive people to hide!! YOU can hide from PAIN but ALSO LOVE!! I WANT PAIN! AS MUCH PAIN AS POSSIBLE 'cause that will help me BECOME THE BEST WIFE EVER! Thanks, Glennon & Lewis!! YOU ARE WORTH IT!
I love this women, she is so really and authentic.
"We can do hard things. We belong to each other. LOVE WINS." -- thank you both so much for being brave and overcoming and adding so much value into the world
Always choose love! Very inspiring episode, thank you Lewis!

46:30 Oh my word. The Vulnerability Hangover.

the sheer comfort on that chair is what puts me at real ease in trusting the conversation
Omg Glennon.....ur words about chemical imbalance and not loving enough struck an almighty cord. I could never figure out if my depression was from a bad childhood or a chemical imbalance, but when u said that it struck a cord. God bless you

Interesting interview. This is months before she meets Abby?
Wow, I am watching this interview of Glennon Doyle with Lewis and I just saw Oprah's announcement that Glennon's book "Love Warrior" is the latest selection for Oprah's Book Club! What a coincidence!

She is amazing
Yet another great interview Lewis, you should interview Steve Harvey and you Really should interview a guy by the name of Micah lancaster he is a basketball Skills coach.
You're most welcome ***** I look forward to shaking your hand!
love love love this interview
Thank you for making depression medication okay. I hate when self help denounces that.
Yay
Lovely experience and wisdom about addictions, thank you Glennon. I disagree about depression being a mental illness-- I track it back to the same core issue as addictions (learned self-rejection). So perhaps love could heal all of it.
Some depression is genetic and biologic and in your DNA..
Not most. :)
I think it's both...depression can result from learned self-rejection (that's such an accurate phrase) but there are also folks who have never experienced that depth of rejection who have depression.
There's no test to prove depression exists or that there is lack of serotonin in brain.

❤️❤️❤️❤️
cute your guest ( any way ) cheers 🍶🍷🍸🍸( hello Miss Glennon.😘
Love isn't war
❤
What made you feel that way avoiding pain at such a early age? Did you experience something that caused it?
In her book, Love Warrior, she describes a show she watched as a young girl that taught her how to avoid pain. If you read her book you will understand the whole picture of "why" she avoided the pain. It is a fantastic read, I just finished. Now I think I'll go back through taking notes the second time around.
I caught that as I am trying to listen to her book via Audible
put Robert Greene on
Interviews where the interviewer has actually read the book are far more interesting and in depth. She's talking about deep issues on a serious topic, he's trying to keep it light and at times sounds bored. Couldn't finish watching.
Agree
How far did you get? I thought he did pretty well...not sure he was ever in such a dark place himself, but he tried.
He asks about suicide at 26:00 minutes about and her answer is really excellent...you can not love someone enough to cure mental illness.
wow! At 47:00 he reveals about his own dark something. He is just so sweet and smiley!
