Dr. Tiffany Moon, MD—anesthesiologist, entrepreneur, and author of Joy Prescriptions—pulls back the curtain on what it truly means to "have it all." From burnout and perfectionism to the immigrant experience and working motherhood, Tiffany shares how chasing external validation cost her deeply—until she learned to rediscover herself through joy, therapy, imperfection, and authenticity. We explore her journey from burnout to breakthrough, the hidden health consequences of living without joy, and what true success looks like when you rewrite your own story.
