Guilt Free: Reclaiming Your Life from Unreasonable Expectations Audiobook

"A roadmap to help you overcome the guilt you’ve been socialized to feel when you put yourself first."—Katy Milkman, PhD, author of How to Change

What would life look like without the constant, crushing weight of guilt?

Women today are living with so much guilt. Guilt for working too much. Guilt for not working enough. Guilt for saying no, for saying yes, for taking a break, for asking for help. This emotion infiltrates every role we occupy—mother, partner, daughter, friend, employee, caregiver—and robs us of our capacity for joy and self-worth. 

Enough is enough. Guilt Free is the revelatory, compassionate, and deeply practical roadmap every woman needs to break free from the impossible standards that shape our daily lives. Drawing on the latest research on emotion and social conditioning, as well as years of clinical work with high achieving but emotionally exhausted women, psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Reid reveals how guilt becomes “sticky,” why women are especially vulnerable to it, and—most importantly—how to loosen its grip for good.

With her SPEAK framework, a five-step path to healing grounded in the core tenets of psychotherapy, readers will be equipped to:

• Identify guilt triggers using the Guilt Equation 
• Quiet guilty and critical thoughts
• Create sustainable boundaries around overexertion
• Replace guilt-driven decisions with clarity, self-trust, and empowerment
