Tuesday's book recommendation is from our newest graduate intern, Amanda Ball. Amanda recommends the book, We Can Do Hard Things by Glennon Doyle, Abby Wambach, and Amanda Doyle. This is a powerful and heartfelt read by three incredible voices who aren’t afraid to dive deep into the messiness of being human. In this book, they explore 20 of life’s hardest questions—not to give perfect answers, but to share honest reflections, other perspectives, and hard-won truths. It’s a collection filled with encouragement, poetic insights, and raw reminders that every person is worthy of love, compassion, and peace.

These same three amazing people are also the hosts of the We Can Do Hard Things podcast. Whether you're reading or listening, you’ll walk away feeling seen, supported, and reminded that you’re not alone. Check them out!
