Turning Worries into Words: Interview with author Emily Reed (Summer Book Club)

Don't Feed the Fear: Food Allergy Anxiety & Trauma

Send us a text

In our summer book club, meet children’s book author Emily Reed, who channeled her own anxiety about her son’s food allergies into a book to teach him confidence and self-advocacy. Emily and I dive deep into her journey as a mother navigating the complexities of having two kids with food allergies and FPIES, the fears and guilt that come with it, and how she channeled those emotions into creativity and advocacy. We discuss the role of literature as a powerful tool in transforming anxiety into empowerment for both parents and children.
