Hey there! I’m Mikala—a family doctor, wife, mother of 5, well-being advocate, and author of the books Ordinary on Purpose and Everything I Wish I Could Tell You About Midlife. Each month my writing reaches millions of women, but I am thrilled to be connecting with YOU. I’m truly grateful to have you here!
All in Life
I'm over it. We're just ordinary I guess. And I wear mom jeans with T-shirts and tennis shoes.
Laughing and loving is the way... She was one of my most influential teachers. I admire her so.
My point is, it's never too late. That thing you've always wanted to do? It matters.
Elizabeth is my one more time. And with Lizzy I just get to take it all in. Enjoy all I can.

It’s been over five years since we moved to Utah. Five years. I can’t even believe it.
I silently congratulated myself for another day well done…or a day done anyway. I guess I’ll just keep going. It can be SO hard.
Life happens in the ordinary. I try so hard to just be ordinary, on purpose.
My husband’s brother and his family are coming for a long weekend. I decided we better get cleaning before our company comes for the weekend!!
After 12 years of education and training and with still $100,000 in debt I’m staying home with my kids.
