About this listen

What if women could get rid of their guilt?

Maya Patel has it all—her own start-up, a sexy, doting husband, influencer status, and now, a new baby. But behind closed doors, Maya's drowning. Her newborn is taking a toll on her marriage, her best friend won't return her calls, and her company's hanging on by a thread. The worst part? It's all her fault. If she could just be a better boss, mother, wife, daughter, friend… Maybe she wouldn't feel so guilty all the time.

Enter: #Girlboss Liz Anderson, who introduces her to the "guilt pill," an experimental supplement that erases female guilt. At first, it’s the perfect antidote to Maya’s self-blame and imposter syndrome, and she finally becomes the unapologetic woman she’s always wanted to be. There's just one catch—for Maya to truly "have it all," she has to be willing to risk it all. And as Maya falls deeper and deeper down the pill's guilt-free rabbit hole, her growing ruthlessness could threaten everything she's built for herself... And the family she's worked so hard to protect.

Electric, taut, and sharply observed, The Guilt Pill is a feminist exploration of motherhood, race, ambition, and how the world treats women who dare to go after everything they want.

This book felt so close to home. As a south Asian mom myself and also in the throes of starting my own business, I felt so seen reading this entire book. I couldn’t put it down as I related with the struggles of the protagonist myself. Spoiler alert: I’m so glad there was a happy ending and I can’t wait to read more books by this author.

it's about a woman that was literally overwhelmed by being a first time mom, running a business and not having enough support and help from her friends and family. Instead she was gas lighted by those near and dear to her. This caused her to utilize pills that helped her deal with the guilt she's been harboring.

Decent story
