    "1001 Cuts" - Women Surgeons and the Daily Battle to Belong
    2025/10/29
    “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."
    2025/10/14
    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.

  • Life-Changing Reads from a Psychiatrist

    Life-Changing Reads from a Psychiatrist
    2025/10/06
    As an avid reader, I’m always seeking that next great book. The one that allows me to see myself and the world more clearly, comforts me when I’m lost, or inspires me to move through my day differently. This series is my opportunity to pass these remarkable books onto you, as readers of A Mind of Her Own, both for your own enjoyment and also, as a self-serving shout-out to the universe to send me more amazing, life-changing reads. I’m excited to hear what you think, and I’m so glad you’re here!Life-Changing Reads: A Series1. Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation, by Parker Palmer“Vocation does not come from willfulness. It comes from listening…vocation does not mean a goal that I pursue. It means a calling that I hear.”I read this book when I was feeling lost, searching for a life that aligned with my values and desires, and doubting myself at every step. I kept hearing this call to write, to create, but I thought it was something I should do in my “non-work” time, because it wasn’t a serious activity for a physician. Parker’s discussion of his own struggle to find his true vocation, through an altruistic but ultimately unsustainable career path, was a fundamental guide on my journey.2. Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can’t Stop Talking, by Susan Cain“So when introverts assume the observer role, as when they write novels, or contemplate unified field theory—or fall quiet at dinner parties—they’re not demonstrating a failure of will or a lack of energy. They’re simple doing what they’re constitutionally suited for.”I listened to this book in the car, sitting in LA traffic, during my psychiatry residency. I still remember the feeling of hearing these words, suggesting my tendency to prefer listening to talking, observing to acting, thinking to doing was not because I was lazy, overly shy or antisocial. It was what I was “constitutionally suited for.” This was a revelation.Here I am now, writing books, listening as a psychiatrist and podcast host, and taking time to think about life’s great mysteries. Thank you, Susan, for your beautiful writing.3. The Good Life: Lessons From the World’s Longest Scientific Study of Happiness, by Robert Waldinger, MD and Marc Schulz, PhD“Do I matter? Some of us have lived the majority of our lives and find ourselves looking back, others have most of our lives in front of us and are looking forward. For all of us, regardless of age, it helps to remember that this question of mattering, of leaving something for future generations and of being part of something bigger than ourselves, is not just about our personal achievements—it’s about what we mean to other people. And it’s never too late to start now and leave a mark.”This book, by the directors of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, is a powerful summary of the lives of two generations of individuals from the same families for over 80 years. It’s remarkable to read their quotes as they navigate joy, loss, struggles and successes over the years. The reason I’ve found it so important to read and reread is its powerful reminder of the importance of our relationships in creating happiness. Not money. Not fame. Not a perfect body. Not prizes or rings or medals. It’s all about the love and connection we have in our lives.Today, as I try to navigate the overwhelmingly stressful news and constant churn of social media, it grounds me in my day-to-day life to reflect on those in my closest orbit. How can I connect with them today? How do I show my love and interest in ways both silly and sincere? Even if I’ve been feeling disconnected, I trust that it is never too late to leave my own mark in their lives and remember the joy of having them in mine.4. How Do You Feel? One Doctor’s Search for Humanity in Medicine, by Jessi Gold, MD, MS“Sometimes, the heaviest emotional burden is to bear witness or to hold space for someone else’s story. To do my job well and be someone whom people can trust, I need to care. I need to be truly empathetic. I need to be raw and available.”This beautiful book, by Jessi Gold, describes so many aspects of my experience as a psychiatrist. She writes about the unique emotional toll of meeting with patients during some of their darkest moments, as they are working to overcome trauma, abuse, loss or grave illnesses. Reading this was incredibly validating. In the past, when I had finished my clinical week, I would look back and wonder, “Why can’t I do more? Why didn’t I see more patients? There is so much need.”Dr. Gold’s book helped me to be self-compassionate, recognizing I could only be truly present if I also took care of myself. This is a message I now try to pass along to the psychiatry residents I teach. We are human, and we have limits. Thank you, Jessi, for generously sharing your life with us. Your work is so important.Listen to Dr. Gold on The Reflective Mind Podcast at https://...

  • "I Felt Guilty for Having the Wrong Dream."

    "I Felt Guilty for Having the Wrong Dream."
    2025/09/25

    In this first of the Guilt Free: Real Women, Real Voices series with Dr. Jennifer Reid, she speaks with Kerry Chaput, author and creator of the Substack “Badass Women in History.” Kerry opens up about spending decades working in physical therapy—a career chosen to please her parents rather than follow her passion for writing and women’s history. She discusses how guilt over having the “wrong dream” kept her from pursuing her authentic path for years, and what finally prompted her to take the leap.

    About the Guest

    Kerry Chaput is a multi-award-winning author dedicated to highlighting badass women in history. Born and raised in California, she now lives in the Pacific Northwest where she spends her time on trails, researching historical rabbit holes, and creating content for her popular Substack.

    Bodies Are For Living, Not Perfecting: Freeing Our Kids from Diet Culture
    2025/09/18
    Trying to raise kids who have a genuinely healthy relationship with food and their bodies? Join Jennifer Reid, MD as she speaks with Oona Hanson, educator, writer and parent coach, about how much power parents have to nurture kids who trust their own hunger cues, enjoy movement for joy rather than punishment, and develop the kind of inner voice that supports rather than sabotages them throughout life.Understanding Diet CultureDiet culture isn't just about dieting—it's pervasive beliefs about food and bodies that we're systematically taught."It's the air we breathe. It's the water we're swimming in... We aren't born with these ideas [about good/bad foods]. These are something we're systematically taught through culture."Parent Guilt and Self-Compassion"Parents don't cause eating disorders and parents can actually be the most powerful source of support for recovery."About OonaOona Hanson is a writer, educator, and parent coach specializing in helping families navigate diet culture. She holds master's degrees in educational psychology and English, is a regular CNN contributor, and writes the "Parenting Without Diet Culture" newsletter.

    2025/09/08
    Episode OverviewLicensed psychologist Dr. Seth Gillihan returns to discuss his latest book, Your Daily Reset: 366 Practical Exercises to Reduce Anxiety and Manage Stress Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In this candid conversation, Dr. Gillihan shares practical strategies for building sustainable mental health habits, explains why mindfulness and CBT work better together, and even opens up about his own parenting anxieties and recent psilocybin journey.Key PointsBuilding Daily Practices That Stick* Brief, consistent practices (40 words average) can create significant change* Focus on functional analysis: what's actually preventing the habit?* Small environmental changes (book placement, timing) matter more than willpowerCombining Mindfulness and CBT* Mindfulness addresses how our minds work (the process)* CBT addresses what our minds tell us (the content)* Together they create a more flexible relationship with thoughtsFacing Fear Through Values* Identify what you value more than your fear* Use values to guide action even when anxiety is present* Model courage for children by not avoiding what scares usKey QuotesOn making room for natural anxiety:"Of course, of course you're a parent. You're going to feel anxious about these things. And feeling anxious in and of itself is not a bad thing. It's not a problem that we have to get rid of."On the power of small daily practices:"If I can just remember that once a day, I think that that can be a big deal... the thoughts that my mind is telling me aren't necessarily true, and they're probably more helpful ways of looking at things."On self-compassion in mental health:"I think it's really one of the main things I want to do... it's just really wanting people to go easier on themselves, you know, like to not be overly critical of themselves and especially in the area of their own mental health."Daily Reset Strategies* Keep practices brief (1-2 sentences)* Focus on awareness and perspective shifts* Make the book/practice visible in your environment* Don't aim for perfection—consistency matters moreAbout Dr. Seth GillihanDr. Seth Gillihan is a licensed psychologist, host of the Think Act Be podcast, and author of multiple books on mindfulness and CBT.

  • How Does a Psychiatrist Practice Mindfulness?

    How Does a Psychiatrist Practice Mindfulness?
    2025/08/29

    Welcome to A Mind of Her Own! I'm sharing some personal thoughts before interviewing Dr. Seth Gillihan about his new book "Your Daily Reset" - which offers 366 brief, actionable mindfulness and CBT techniques for daily practice. Check out this episode of my podcast, The Reflective Mind when I post it early next week!

    How do I nurture my own mindfulness practices?

    * Bird watching (aka nature's reality TV) - I sit outside watching birds duke it out for their favorite sunflower seeds. Plus I've got a hummingbird feeder that I'm convinced only attracts hummingbirds when my mom visits - she's basically a joy magnet.

    * Puzzle therapy - Working on jigsaw puzzles helps me focus and zone out in a non-stressful way, concentrating on colors and shapes, rather than my lengthy to-do list.

    * Family connection - I wear my great-grandmother's wedding ring and reflect on her remarkable story - she raised 11 children in a two-room house in rural North Dakota, all of whom went to college, including my grandmother, who became a teacher and librarian (which is the coolest career, for sure).

    * Library wandering - Speaking of librarians, I'm that person who gets a library card within 24 hours of moving anywhere. I wander the aisles like I'm shopping, but with zero buyer's remorse when I "impulse buy" seven books I may never finish.

    I realize, as a psychiatrist I'm supposed to be all zen and mindful, but I'm human too. Sometimes my brain refuses to cooperate with meditation apps or reminders to breathe deeply. The trick is finding what actually works for you.

    I’m so glad you’re here!
