In this episode I interview Dr. Heather Jackson, a board certified family medicine physician, mother of 4 and beekeeper. Heather enrolled in the Micropractice Mama E-Course in October 2024 and is celebrating the grand opening of her micropractice, Become Health next week (mid February 2025). In this interview we discuss

• what led Heather to leave traditional practice after over 16 years with the same group
• what steps she took to convince herself that direct care was the right model for her
• what she considers the key first step in building a practice
• what she wishes she did differently
• how she has become less afraid to reveal her humanity over the course of designing her practice
