Being so connected with each other has caused us to become disconnected with ourselves.

And that to me is the key.

It's that we need to go back and reconnect with who we are authentically, what our intuition and instincts are,

and be true to them and be confident in them.

Welcome back to the show and thank you so much for tuning in each and every week this year and since the

podcast started in 2020. This is the last episode of 2023 so if you're listening to it live, thank you for

joining me and leaving your reviews. This is how the podcast continues to grow.

And in honor of our last episode, I am welcoming a returning guest who has been on my show two times

already. We have recorded two episodes called Finding Joy, Marriage and Parenting

with my husband, reparenting ourselves as we parent our son.

And of course, I am welcoming back my husband, Gorov Patel.

Thank you so much for joining me, honey.

Well, I'm so honored to be the last guest of the year and so I'm excited to record this episode with you and look forward to the new year ahead.

Yeah and you know for the last episode of

2023 I wanted to go into 2024 with motivation for all of our

listeners especially knowing that many of our listeners are parents or maybe work with parents obviously who have children.

And we are talking about how parenting is hard enough and why are we making it harder?

And a lot of these conversations that I've recorded with my husband have come from

inspiration from conversations we have after the kids go to bed. They'll go to bed and

we'll just sit and talk about life, parenting, marriage, human nature,

psychology, whatever, you name it. And so I'm just so glad to do this with you today

honey. Yeah, this is something that I think we essentially have this conversation almost every night after the kids go to bed.
