Glennon Doyle Melton Joins Arianna Huffington On The Thrive Global Podcast

Momastery founder and best-selling author Glennon Doyle Melton talks with Arianna Huffington in the latest Thrive Global Podcast. The two discuss what it is like struggling with addiction and hitting rock bottom. Melton talks about her path to recovery, her journey to success and what it means that “pain is mandatory and suffering is optional.”

They discuss the dangers of social media and how comparing your life to what you see online can be harmful. They explain why you not should judge yourself based on "other people's highlight reels":

“Comparing our insides to other people's outsides or our whole life to other people's highlight reels…that's what actually happens [on social media]. We look at other people's [accounts] and we think that their lives are all shiny,  happy and running through daisy fields all day when, really, the messiness and difficulty of life is the same for all of us."

She also talks about her new relationship with wife and soccer star Abby Wambach and what it means to parent in a screen-filled world. The Thrive Global podcast is brought to you by Sleep Number.
