Chapter 1: What is the main topic of this episode?

00:10 - 00:37 Glennon

Hello, everybody. Thank you for coming back to We Can Do Hard Things. I am really thrilled about this episode because it's about fun, okay? So last night, I sat down in preparation for this introduction here, and I wrote down every single thing I know about fun. And in front of me, I now have a blank sheet of paper. I know nothing. I know nothing. about fun. I am un-fun.

One in particular is called soccer. And so she is here today to talk to us all about fun and challenge us to have some of it in our lives. Let's get started.

Like the other day I said, you know, I want to get sister a sister somehow.

00:00 - 00:00 Glennon

Yeah, literally. Like Abby says to me, this is what she says to me, sister. You were going through something. And Abby goes, do you know what sister needs? She needs a sister. And she's looking at me saying these words. I'm like, what the hell do you think I am? Yeah.

00:00 - 00:00 Abby

You need Amanda kind of sister.

00:00 - 00:00 Glennon

Exactly. She needs like a bulldog, like someone who shows up no matter what, who always knows what to do, right? I mean, I don't always know what to do. I just, it's a beautiful thing, the symbiosis between the three of us.
