Listen to a new episode of Guilt Free: Real Women, Real Stories on A Mind of Her Own with host Jennifer Reid, MD, who sits down with Dr. Hope Seidel, a board-certified pediatrician turned parenting coach, to explore the pervasive guilt that shadows modern parenting. Drawing from two decades of clinical experience and her own personal journey—including navigating her husband’s addiction and eventual loss—Dr. Seidel offers a refreshingly honest perspective on what it truly means to be a “good enough” parent.
