Summary
Jennifer Reid, MD, author of Guilt Free, has the answers. For those of us who feel guilty about almost everything having to do with parenting, psychiatrist Dr. Reid hears us — and has solutions. I recorded this live at my children’s school, where I peppered her with questions that were, perhaps, too personal?!

| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Zibi Owens, and you're listening to Totally Booked with Zibby. Formerly, moms don't have time to read books. In my daily show, I interview today's latest, best-selling, buzziest, or underrated authors and story creators, whose work I think is worth your time. As a bookstore owner, publisher, author, and obviously podcaster, I get a comprehensive |
| 0:24.0 | look at everything that's coming out and spend my time curating the best books so you don't |
| 0:29.3 | have to. |

| 0:52.1 | host a twice a year interview series for the parent association. |
| 0:57.7 | This is how I get my volunteer credit, basically. Jennifer Reed came up from the Philadelphia area |
| 1:04.6 | to do the event at school with us, and we had such a great time. There was a lovely crowd that |
| 1:10.3 | showed up to hear and to want to feel |
| 1:12.8 | less guilt. Her book is guilt-free, reclaiming your life from unreasonable expectations, and I thought |
| 1:18.7 | it would be a good fit for the type A audience of parents at the school. Dr. Reed is a psychiatrist. |

| 1:29.7 | author of Guilt Free. |

| 1:36.6 | of Pennsylvania, where she teaches the next generation of psychiatrists. |
| 1:40.3 | She lives outside Philadelphia with her husbands and two sons. |
| 1:44.0 | Welcome, Dr. Reed. Thank you so much for coming on Totally Book to discuss your book, Guilt Free. Thank you so much for having me to be. This is really a treat to do it in front of a live audience. Oh, and congratulations. How does it feel to have your book in the world? It feels amazing. We're one day out, and it already feels like it's a |
| 2:01.6 | whole new world. Round of applause for Pub Day. Pub week, rather. So a couple years ago, I met a |
| 2:10.5 | friend of mine named Andrea for coffee, and I was like, how's everything going? And she's like, |
| 2:14.7 | actually, it's great. I've decided I'm not going to feel guilty anymore and I was |
| 2:18.4 | like what are you talking about she's like yeah I just decided like I'm just going to do my thing |
