  • The Guilt Free Series: An ICU Nurse Shares her Journey Beyond Guilt and Burnout

    The Guilt Free Series: An ICU Nurse Shares her Journey Beyond Guilt and Burnout
    Nov 11 2025
    *Please note, today’s guest will remain anonymous to protect her privacy.“We’re supposed to be constant caregivers. And we’re supposed to do that even when it makes our lives really difficult...this constant caregiving as what a good person, a good nurse, a good doctor, a good woman, a good mother would do is setting expectations that are just not attainable in modern life.”Alongside the upcoming release of her book, Guilt Free: Reclaiming Your Life from Unreasonable Expectations, on January 27, 2026, Dr. Reid is creating a space for authentic discussions and stories about the experience of guilt across the various roles women inhabit:* As mothers balancing family needs with personal aspirations* As daughters navigating complex family dynamics* As friends trying to show up meaningfully in others’ lives* As partners working to maintain healthy relationships* In careers while striving for work-life harmonyIn this episode, she sits down with an ICU nurse who’s been through it all: night shifts, day shifts, burnout, and everything in between. She opens up about what it really feels like when you realize, “oh my gosh, I’m burnt out”—and more importantly, the guilt that comes with it.The Comparison Trap“All day, I would be like, so-and-so is handling this so much better than I do,” she shares. “Or how is it that so-and-so not only has time to get her work done, but to help everybody else and is so generous with that help when I am constantly so overwhelmed by my own work?”Sound familiar? We dig into why comparison becomes such a crushing weight and introduce a key framework from the book Guilt Free: guilt is the mismatch between our expectations of ourselves and how well we believe we’re meeting them.Find Dr. Reid on Instagram: @jenreidmd, LinkedIn, and YouTubeYou can also preorder Dr. Reid’s book, Guilt Free!

  • "1001 Cuts" - Women Surgeons and the Daily Battle to Belong

    "1001 Cuts" - Women Surgeons and the Daily Battle to Belong
    Oct 29 2025
    “It wasn’t like overnight I woke up and I was like, I don’t like medicine anymore... It was just like this gradual onslaught and accumulation of events that felt very much like beating my head against a wall, just trying to do my job.” -Sarah Temkin, MDIn this powerful conversation, Dr. Sarah Temkin—gynecologic oncologist turned first-time filmmaker—shares her journey from loving clinical medicine to leaving practice in 2020, and how those experiences inspired her documentary “1001 Cuts” about women surgeons.Dr. Temkin reveals the accumulation of challenges women face in male-dominated fields: from being told she was “too nice” to be a surgeon, to equipment that doesn’t fit female hands, to the exhausting tightrope of being perceived as either too aggressive or not assertive enough. Yet this episode is ultimately about hope and change. Dr. Temkin’s documentary has sparked conversations across professions, with women in law, journalism, and trades recognizing their own experiences. She calls for a generational shift toward medicine that maintains excellence while accommodating diverse personalities, schedules, and bodies—creating space for all the talent we’re currently losing.Guest BioDr. Sarah Temkin is a gynecologic oncologist who spent over two decades providing surgical and medical care for women with cancer. She is widely published in medical literature and has contributed to conversations about equity in healthcare throughout her career. After leaving clinical practice in 2020, she became a first-time filmmaker, directing and producing the documentary “1001 Cuts,” which examines the experiences of women surgeons and has become an educational tool for medical institutions nationwide.Resources* “1001 Cuts” Documentary - Learn more about the film and opportunities to hold educational screenings in your organization or community.* Impact Campaign Partnership - The Video Project and American Medical Women’s Association collaborationA Mind of Her Own explores the intersection of gender, health, and professional life through conversations with remarkable individuals.Find Dr. Reid on Instagram: @jenreidmd, LinkedIn, and YouTubeYou can also preorder Dr. Reid’s book, Guilt Free!

  • "If You're In Sync with Your Kids 30% of the Time, You're a Pro."

    "If You're In Sync with Your Kids 30% of the Time, You're a Pro."
    Oct 14 2025
    In this thoughtful conversation, Dr. Jennifer Reid welcomes back an old friend and UCLA training colleague, Dr. Marissa Caudill, to explore one of parenting’s most pervasive emotions: guilt. Dr. Caudill, who specializes in coaching parents of tweens with anxiety and ADHD, brings both clinical expertise and personal vulnerability to a discussion that every parent needs to hear.The conversation begins with a fascinating dive into the neurobiology of new parenthood—how becoming a parent literally grows your amygdala (the brain’s fear center) and creates a new baseline of anxiety that never quite returns to pre-baby levels. Both doctors share their own experiences with postpartum intrusive thoughts, the kind that almost no one talks about but nearly 90% of new mothers experience. (More on the topic of postpartum intrusive thoughts and OCD in Dr. Reid’s interview with Jenna Overbaugh, LPC)From there, they tackle the heart of parental guilt: the gap between our sky-high expectations and the reality of raising imperfect humans in an increasingly competitive world. Dr. Caudill offers a refreshing reframe—that pushing our kids to meet our script rather than honoring their story can actually undermine the attunement they need to develop resilience. She shares practical wisdom on distinguishing between anxiety that needs gentle pushing and resistance that deserves respect, and why sometimes doing “nothing” (just being present) is exactly what struggling kids need most.You can also hear Dr. Caudill’s earlier conversation with Dr. Reid about Key Parenting Tips for the 21st CenturyAbout Today’s GuestDr. Marissa Caudill, MD, PhD is a child and adolescent psychiatrist, mother, and parent coach. She focuses on coaching and education of parents of tweens with anxiety and/or ADHD (about 11% of kids have one of these diagnoses), empowering them to step up to minimize the chances their kids will suffer mental illness in adolescence. Parents have so much influence and power over their kids’ development, we just need guidance to cut through the noise. Find her on all of the socials as The Parent Doctor.
