Life is incredibly precious, and I think sometimes we forget how valuable life is, because

we rightfully get bogged down with all the stress in our life, the bills, the tasks that

we have, the kids screaming, work, traffic, all of that stimuli.

We forget that, hey, this is my life, this is the one life I have, and I'm in control

of it, as much as it's hard to hear.

And I know sometimes hearing this is the kick in the butt that we need to remember.

Number one, I may have a hard life.

Number two, I may be tired.

Number three, I may not like a certain circumstance.

Listen, this is our one life.

You're listening to this with the one life that you have.

We only have this, and I sure as heck do not want it to be wasted.

Doing and thinking of things that don't serve our purpose, our joy, and our peace.

Welcome back to the show and our last Finding Joy episode of 2022.

I am Dr. Mona, and thank you for joining me today.

This series is one in which I share the real deal of parenting, motherhood life, being

a working mom, all of it.

I share information on grief, processing grief, working through hard times, celebrating

good times, and undoing the things that do not serve us as parents, especially as women,

because I am a woman too.

A lot of the content and stories are inspired by my own life, but also the deep and meaningful

conversations I have with mom friends or moms in my office.
