Joy Prescriptions

How I Learned to Stop Chasing Perfection and Embrace Connection

By: Tiffany Moon MD MD

Narrated by: Tiffany Moon MD MD

Doctor by day and Bravo’s Real Housewife by night, Tiffany Moon has a prescription for releasing perfectionism and finding joy!

As a self-proclaimed “good girl,” Tiffany was a people pleaser and straight A student, fitting into roles that were prescribed by her Chinese-American family. As a lifelong overachiever, she accomplished a thriving career as an anesthesiologist. Yet Tiffany felt unfulfilled. She spent more time at work than at home with her loving husband and twin girls, didn’t know how to say no to anyone, and was governed by the external pressures of being “perfect” by standards set by society.

In Joy Prescriptions, Tiffany shares the journey of how she reconnected with herself. In order to feel whole, she had to work on herself from the inside out. She took surprising chances, put herself first, and embraced more creativity and laughter. She dove headfirst into a candle business, became a reality TV star, tried her hand at stand-up comedy, and became a social media influencer. Tiffany abandoned other people’s expectations and started to live for herself, ultimately discovering her true self.

Joy Prescriptions offers a healthy dose of introspection and healing that will release you from the constrained expectations of others and inspire you to explore who you really are. You deserve a life that is authentically designed for more joy—and more you.
