In December 2019, we gave birth to our beautiful son. It was under the most difficult of circumstances where both he and I were in the ICU. Over the last 1.5 years, we thought our story would be different but we realized we had secondary infertility from the delivery and complications. 

In this episode of The Finding Joy Series, I share our story: How we found out we had secondary infertility, the ups and downs of that process, our decision to start IVF, and how Im navigating this emotionally and physically draining process.

I'm sharing a parenting principle of mine that has been a game-changer in creating independence, fostering autonomy, building confidence, and also reaffirming to our children that we are there for them when they need us.

Tune in as I explain this principle, why it matters, and examples from the newborn months to school-age on how it works.

The finding joy series is a seres to promote mindset shifts, encourage self-growth, and inspire self-insight for you as parents. 

I think our biggest barriers as parents is we don't connect with our own feelings, anger, resentment, and past that it prohibits us from showing up for our children as our authentic and true selves.

In this epiosde I discuss the power of forgiveness. I discuss why forgiveness is vital in healing from difficult experiences (ex. birth trauma, generational trauma, or relationships). 

I give examples on how forgiveness can help, how to implement it into your life, and why it will make you a happier parent.

For my last episode of 2021, I am starting a new series on this podcast that will continue into 2022.

Each month, I will share a heart-to-heart on finding joy as a mother, parent, Pediatrician, and well----human! 

I take on topics such as guilt, judgement, making tough decisions, work-life-balance, self-growth, and so much more.

My hope is you will feel empowered to find the best in yourself and find joy. 

In this episode I go over:

• Why going part-time was the scariest and best professional decision for me in 2022
• Why I was scared to take the leap
• A message for all working parents--especially working moms on finding work-life balance
• Why I feel burnout at work has no place in the home and how to move towards finding that joy and balance again

If you have any suggestions for topics or need help navigating a part of mom-life or parent-life, leave a message at 954 526 2641.
