If you are listening to this and you have been handed a lot of lemons back to back,

I am asking you to take those lemons and put it aside. You do not have to make the lemonade

right away. When I talk about these things on this podcast, I talk about going through the

motions so that you can get to the phase where lemonade can be made, where you can see the

positivity and hope. But in the moment, that may not be a reality. Hey everyone, welcome back

to the Pete's Doc Talk podcast, a podcast that keeps growing because of you and your reviews.

So thank you so much for tuning in and being here. You are listening to my Finding Joy series

on this podcast, which I started at the end of 2021. It is a series where I share the real life,

parenting ups and downs, work life ups and downs, and some mindset tips on navigating these moments.

Your reviews mean so much to me. So I wanted to share a few of my favorites since the last time

I've done a Finding Joy episode. PuzzleHolic85 wrote, great, especially the Finding Joy series.

I've been loving Dr. Mona's podcast, especially her Finding Joy series. I appreciate her careful

positive approach to parenting. Great, listen, highly recommend. Thank you so much. This is my joy.

I get so much excitement and happiness from doing this podcast. So thank you. Lex Tate wrote,

if I could give 10 stars, I would. I'm a new mother to an eight-month-old and a registered nurse.

I find reliable information and education to be so difficult to find for the average person

until I found Dr. Mona. Her topics are so relevant and helpful for me and I've been telling all

of my friends and family with kids as well so they can go to a more current reliable place to get

great information on all things parenting. I love her honesty and openness. I am so happy I found her.

I am just so grateful to be here to share all of this honesty and openness, which is part of the

Finding Joy series. This is just so wonderful because this podcast is for you and it grows

because of you and it means so much to me to share my passion and love for children and life
