No-Idea (No eye dear)! 😜 My 7 year old son, Joshua, told me that joke! It amazes me that he was born with a congenital heart disease and as per doctors, he might not live or have a normal life. However, what is normal?
This joke I passed on to you! So his normal is to positively impact others lives daily. His boldness and extrovert spirit inspired me to live in my authenticity as well.
For the last 10 years, I could count on one hand how many people knew the under the radar triple life I have been living. As a physician, a patient with chronic auto-immune disease such as MS and as a parent with of a child with chronic disease.
Recently, I decided to tell my story with launching my new book, “The Parts We Don’t Talk About!” This is when you stop reading…lol..roll eye and say “not another motivational story about someone living their best life”. Instead, I decided to write a book about how the world viewed my “successes”, not knowing I face several failures and physical challenges daily. The book addresses biases during medical training from colleagues, racial inequality while seeking professional growth, pregnancy and the treatment of doctors living with chronic disease, such as Multiple Sclerosis. Not boring at all.
I am outing myself as a patient with MS, who is also a doctor, to inspire others to persevere in the midst of their difficult moments. That he/she/they may understand that in life there are no mistakes, only adjustments.
We need to finish this conversation! After all, I am shocked you got this far in the email. Please schedule a free one-to-one call with me via my website. www.drsimarta.com. This is the first step to creating change and more funny Joshua jokes!
