Episode notes

I don't know if you remember what we were talking about on that walk, which is that whoever wanted you to write that book, like the shiny version of you. They did not want you to include any of what you call your shadow side, which was really just all the real stuff. And it was just like this really simple thing that I think like my intuition and my sober, my newly sober self was like feeling.

In Part 2 of our deeply personal interview with Abby, she reveals for the first time:

1. Her romance with an unrequited love – someone who strung her along hopelessly for years;

2. Her anguish and rebirth after being arrested;

3. Her sense of loss when being crowned FIFA Player of the Year;

4. Her divorce after fighting for marriage equality – inside her own family and on the public stage; and

5. The night she met Glennon.

Before you start the episode, please go back and listen to Part 1 of our interview with Abby: We Can Do Hard Things Episode 188 Abby Wambach: Will I Ever Be Truly Loved?

And come back tomorrow for Abby’s *very* special Part 3 bonus episode!
