“Your precious, beautiful body has carried you through every single one of your good, hard, ordinary days. It’s time to love her, nourish her, and care for her well.”

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!
