Hello Sunshine is dedicated to female authorship across all storytelling platforms, including film, television, books, social videos, and audio. The media company is founded by Academy and Emmy Award-winning actress, producer, and entrepreneur Reese Witherspoon.
We’re excited to connect women (and men) to narratives told from a distinctively female perspective. We want the growing Hello Sunshine community of creators and audience members to feel seen and heard. Whether our audience identifies with a character from our book pick or with the heroine (or villain) from our TV shows, or strikes up a conversation sparked by our videos, Hello Sunshine’s mission is to show women as the flawed and often complicated heroes of their own stories. Hello Sunshine - the story starts with you.

Abby wasn't added to the family, she was missing from our family. Wise words, Glennon.

[@smlorrin]

[@stephenarmiger8343]

Just listened to Neil deGrasse Tyson on Star Talk. His guest was his mother. He asked her about her parenting style. She said she just let each child follow his or her interests. All three children thrived. She didn't seem to martyr herself. She was raised Roman Catholic. She didn't particularly care that he found Roman Catholicism uninteresting. One unique feature was that there was an extra adult, beyond his mother and father, in the house. This extra adult meant that his mother didn't have to work quite so hard. After the children were gone his mother went to college and got advanced degrees. Somewhere along the line she taught herself to speak English as her first language was Spanish.

Aloha from HI Reese! Love your boss babe channel and inspiring content. Mahalo Glennon and Abby for 'fireproofing' us parents and for sharing/transcribing what epic love feels like, "Abby wasn't adding to the family ~ she was what was missing (miracle :D)" X*X

Why Glennon Doyle divorce ex husband

[@justicegusting2476]

These people are constantly out in public trying to figure-out their broken lives with their wise and winsome smiles. 🤢🤮

[@niceidea7454]

He wants His children ready. Keep them in prayer and please be compassionate. His arrival seals His children's chance at salvation- forever

[@marijo287]

Abby was missing from Glennon's sense of security and safe bonding, because she never felt accepted like the girl with intense feelings she was (not in her family of origin, not in her group of peers, not by herself. Like people with BLPD , she doesnt have a strong sense of self because she did not have safe human bonds to help her regulate her strong intense emotions and so be able to find purpose in what ever she was doing). So she is just filling a void/wound by giving in to same sex attraction. It could feel like the real thing, the real happiness, but in the end it is not. I have seen it along decades in the history of people. She talks from her voids. She chose the long path to healing from the roots. God bless her.

[@ouiemfrs4373]

What happened to Craig?

[@Jordanandkristasmith]

Did I hear her to say we should do "not what she should do, or what's good, or what's right because those are not pure ideas?" If I"m hearing that correctly, two things come to mind. One, that is total and complete selfishness. Two, for a woman who says she's a Christian, that's not at all in line with what the Bible says. "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things. (Philippians 4:8). I fear this woman is sending some dangerously confusing messages.

[@lanielovespopculture]

I think her point was that it's not about what other people think is right but what we know for ourselves is right. "Right" doesn't always look the same for everyone. There are times where it does but there also times that require more nuance. Also, I would say that what she's done is pure, is lovely, is admirable

[@lanielovespopculture]

I don't think it was selfishness. I think she took a look at herself, at her (at the time) husband, at her kids and made a decision that might cause temporary pain but the potential for long term joy for everyone involved

[@daynasin6615]

I fear the bible was written before gaslighting became a thing.

Keep that nonsense to yourself and keep a good eye on your husband.

[@Primordicus]

But what about the father of Glennon's children? Doesn't he matter?

[@daynasin6615]

No.

[@alexandrab4568]

He was right there, if you pay attention to the video, he spends time with all of them. Besides, he already moved on with another woman.

[@sparkle1974]

he was literally there in the video ... however he did cheat on Glennon when they were married.

[@shrodingerscat4422]

@@daynasin6615 your silly comment is why women don't take that very important long stare in the mirror.

[@stardresser1]

If you look into it he was busy...very busy. With other women. For a long time.

K,

[@axelfoleyt]

Divorce is such a tragedy for the whole family. I feel for the unseen father as well.

[@est9949]

He cheated on her for like 10 years.

[@stardresser1]

Long time cheater and porn addict.

[@queenesther1739]

How is divorce beautiful...it's sad. God calls sin sin because it brings destruction to people's lives, in this kind of case especially to kids. Righteousness is beauty, is love. People wanna make up their own rules nowadays, it's not gonna go well

[@niceidea7454]

True. We all gotta stick with The Lord

[@EricaGamet]

If the marriage wasn't one based on being in love (romantic, sexual love), then yes divorce IS the best thing. They each went on to find the person that they love and are loved in return in the way you want a spouse to be. Also, not everyone believes in god (any god) or sin... some of us choose to be good people and do good deeds and treat each other fairly simply because it feels right and seems to be the right thing to do... not for fear of sin or punishment.

[@stardresser1]

The husband confessed to years of cheating with many women. So, there's that.

[@JMV005]

So glad theres a positive male influence...oh wait

[@eller.6322]

Your point? Theyre happy with two mothers.

[@JMV005]

All children NEED a positive male and female presence in their life. It just is. Its biology. For millenia, productive people are a product of their environment

[@niceidea7454]

You don't make jokes regarding this, just speak against it respectfully, love them as you love yourself, and pray for them all. God bless you! Have a good one

[@EricaGamet]

The father is there... he is co-parenting them along with Abby and Glennon. Having both male and female influences IS important, but it also doesn't have to be a father. My nieces didn't really have a dad that was in their lives, but they have two wonderful uncles who are that male presence for them. Please come join us in the 21st century and stop thinking like it's 1950.

[@est9949]

Yeah like having the father who kept cheating on their mother is positive as hell. Get over yourself.
