You are listening to episode 99, Finding Joy, taking a leap in 2021 and going part-time as a working mom.

Welcome friends, wherever in this beautiful world you're joining me from.

I am so excited to end 2021 with my last episode of the year.

With a new series I'm starting to go into 2022.

I am starting a series about Finding Joy as mothers, as parents.

I think mothers will definitely resonate with me, but I think fathers will too or any caregiver.

This series was inspired by questions I get asked on my Instagram page, Pete's Doc Talk.

How do you do this? How do you stay relaxed? How do you do this?

The truth is, I am learning also, and my goal is to share the ups and downs of motherhood working mom life,

being an entrepreneur, which is Pete's Doc Talk, and motivation to help you find some light when you need it.

Think of this like listening to a friend on your walk or on your drive to help you find some joy when you need it the most.

And like I said, I don't have it all figured out.

I just like to share my experiences, my life goes through ups and downs, and sometimes it's a hot freaking mess where I ask myself WTF,

but I do feel like I can share some of the things that I've gone through, some of the ways that I reframe,

and just really have you all feel like you're in good company feeling motivated and empowered.

I really can't believe 2021 is almost over.

I mean, seriously, can you believe this? I mean, we have been in this pandemic for almost two years.

My son, Orion, is almost two years old, probably two years old when you're listening to this episode.

I just cannot believe that we are here.

One of the biggest decisions I made at the end of 2020 was going part time at the beginning of this year.

And it was actually one of the most difficult decisions I had to make.

One that I did not anticipate being so hard, I have been working full time in clinical medicine for five years at that time in 2020.
