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!

And I’ll be finding beauty in the ordinary moments...right here at home.

Saying ‘I’m tired’ is like saying ‘I’m chilly’ when I’m buried up to my neck in a snowbank wearing my bathing suit while my little black toes begin breaking off one by one.
This year, I’m going to teach my children the best way I know how… By leading the way through.
I have officially had it up to here!!!! (I never knew what moms meant by this…until now.) I have reached the point when just ONE MORE THING leaves me fumbling for answers or fighting back tears.
