LIBBY WARD: The Cycle Ends With You: Healing as a Mother
Q: Can you tell us about the body of work that shaped your approach to healing and motherhood?
Libby discusses learning from trauma-focused resources like The Body Keeps the Score and Dr. Gabor Maté, and how understanding complex trauma and external societal pressures helped her reframe motherhood from an individual fault to a shared, systemic challenge that requires both personal healing and community support.
DR. RACHEL GOLDMAN: How to Stop Stress Spirals (CBT Tools That Actually Work)
Q: Tell us about the lead up to this book.
She describes the gradual process of recognizing opportunities, moments of hesitation, and eventual timing aligning with family life and publishing interest.

DR. RACHEL GOLDMAN: How to Stop Stress Spirals (CBT Tools That Actually Work)
Q: What inspired you to write it? And I mean, the title is so catchy.
She explains the evolution of her book title from Training for Life to Life Happens and then adding 'When' during the grad-school period. The motivation grew during the pandemic as people desperately needed validation and messages of resilience; the idea of turning clinical insights into accessible, billboard-worthy messages became a driving force that she pursued while balancing motherhood and career.
