When she was 22 years old, Maryann was driving along a rural highway in Ohio. A small boy darted in front of her car. She slammed on her breaks, tried to swerve but was unable to avoid the collision. He died before reaching the hospital. This episode explores the emotion of guilt.

Maryann Jacobi Gray is a social psychologist, Assistant Provost at UCLA and the founder of accidentalimpacts.org, a site supporting people who’ve accidentally killed or injured someone.
