Living Guilt Free: Our Candlelight Chat is TOMORROW, Sunday, from 1-2 pm EST, on Zoom.
Here are the log-in instructions! We’re hosting Dr. Jennifer Reid, the bestselling author on Reclaiming Your Life from Unreasonable Expectations.
Dear all,
I’m really looking forward to seeing you tomorrow, for our next Candlelight Chat!
This one’s for you, if you have a tendency toward unwarranted feelings of guilt. Whether it’s guilt for working too much, for not working enough, for saying no, for saying yes, for taking a break, for asking for help…tomorrow’s guest has seen it all.
We’re very honored to host special guest Jennifer Reid, MD, a psychiatrist and assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania, and the creator and host of A Mind of Her Own podcast and Substack. Dr. Reid’s new book — GUILT FREE: Reclaiming Your Life from Unreasonable Expectations — is coming out on January 27 — and you’ll get a preview tomorrow.
Guilt Free
Dr. Reid’s new book offers a science-backed and deeply compassionate guide to understanding and dismantling the forces behind excessive guilt. Drawing from over a decade of clinical work with high achieving but emotionally exhausted women, Dr. Reid combines psychological insight with real-world examples and a deeply personal lens to help readers take back control.
Through real case studies, personal reflections, and actionable strategies, GUILT FREE offers relief and a roadmap to living with more joy, purpose, and psychological freedom “A guilt-free life is one where we—not our guilt—are in the driver’s seat.”
Here are just a few of the questions we’ll discuss with Dr. Reid:
How societal, familial, and cultural expectations shape our guilt tendencies
When guilt is useful—and when it’s toxic
How to heal through the SPEAK process, a five-step path grounded in the core tenets of psychotherapy
and much more.
As usual, we’ll also invite you to ask your questions of Dr. Reid. You’ll be able to talk to her either via the written chat, or by “raising your hand” and coming online to chat with her.
As usual, please have a candle handy, but don’t light it yet. We’ll do that together.
And, please bring a journal, iPad, sketchbook, or whatever works best for you.
And finally, don’t worry if you can’t make it live. We’ll send out a video recording to paid and scholarship subscribers next week.
