We Can Do Hard Things

Martha Beck Changes Lives With This Question 

We start the year by asking a simple question: Why does something that’s supposed to be fun—like youth sports—feel so awful? 

After a scary incident at their daughter’s soccer game, Glennon and Abby talk honestly about how pressure, performance, and social capital have overtaken what was supposed to be fun. And why this problem isn’t about the kids—it’s about us.

We share what’s ahead for We Can Do Hard Things in 2026, reflect on everything we’ve built together, and talk about letting go of what no longer fits so we can feel both held and free.- Why youth sports—and so many other systems—stopped being fun

- How to re-enter old worlds without losing yourself

- What healing looks like when it’s about trust, not quitting

- What to expect from We Can Do Hard Things in 2026

Welcome to 2026 (and Hello, YouTube Friends)

Glennon sits down with artist and healer Eset Rose for a grounding, soul-stirring conversation – live from the Kripalu Center in Massachusetts – about what it really means to stop abandoning ourselves. 

They discuss burning old scripts, reimagining relationships, claiming agency, the spiritual power of midlife and menopause, and why “enoughness” can feel terrifying when we’ve been raised inside capitalism. 

This one is for anyone craving rest, renewal, and a gentler way to begin again.

Your Nervous System Needs This

- Why we can’t wish peace for the world without wishing it for ourselves;
