Canada PM Friend-Zones Trump & Real ID Brings Out the Karens | Glennon Doyle, Abby Wambach & Amanda Doyle

I mean, there's nothing quite like getting three children and them not thinking you're cool for gold medals. I sometimes show them my highlight reel, and I'm like, I used to actually be awesome at something.

I think the thing, though, with parenting that continually surprises me, and it's the thing that I've been really focused on the last couple of years, I was always in the chase of the extraordinary.

And when I looked at myself in the mirror after winning those gold medals or getting literally handed the Player of the Year award, I was the same person. I had the same zits. I had the same problems. And yeah, it's something, a notch in the belt, but like at the end of the day, it didn't totally fulfill me.

And I've been really focused over the last few years on really just like building and developing an ordinary life. And it allows me more access to the moments like this, where extraordinary comes in and I get to totally fully embody it and experience it. Because I know that the thing that I'm building at home with our family and our children, that is the thing that brings me the most joy.
