Show Notes

Both medicine and storytelling share a common thread—a love for impacting people's lives and making a difference. Mikala Albertson, MD, had numerous beautiful experiences and personal stories through her patients, which changed her perspective and inspired her to share these narratives through writing.

A turning point in Mikala’s journey occurred when her husband entered rehab, and she came face-to-face with the fragility of life. This profound experience made Mikala reevaluate her priorities, shifting her focus from seeking perfection to cherishing the ordinary moments of sobriety, stable relationships, and a regular life.

In this episode, Michelle and Mikala engaged in a heartfelt conversation, unveiling Mikala’s journey of healing, rediscovering purpose, and the boundless power of storytelling.

Embracing the ordinary doesn't mean settling for less but rather finding beauty and purpose in the everyday moments that shape our lives. Mikala’s story is a testament to the transformation that can occur when we allow ourselves to heal and repurpose our experiences for the greater good.
