Mama Neely is back, and this time she’s turning the tables to help tell the story behind the woman we know today as Dr. Micol Neely.

In this special behind-the-scenes episode, you’ll hear how Micol’s journey began long before the titles, achievements, and leadership. From childhood tumbles to getting back up and racing at just eight years old—earning third place—her resilience and competitive spirit were evident from the start.

What began as a young girl discovering the joy of movement quickly evolved into record-breaking moments, contagious motivation, and even inspiring her own mom to lace up her running shoes. Along the way, Micol found something deeper: peace, clarity, and the runner’s high that would become part of her identity.

Mama Neely shares stories from school days, where science and biology captured Micol’s curiosity and set her apart. From impressive projects to teachers who recognized her drive, you’ll hear about the mentors and moments that helped shape her path toward medicine.

This episode reveals the point where Micol didn’t just hope for a future in healthcare—she felt the calling. The passion, the influence of great teachers, the determination to rise after every fall—it all molded the strong, compassionate, and sassy woman she is today.

If you’ve ever wondered what built the foundation of Dr. Micol Neely, this is the episode you don’t want to miss.

In this powerful return conversation, Dr. Micol Neely welcomes back Kristina Helmstadter Cervone for a deeper, more vulnerable discussion on how childhood experiences—particularly divorce—can shape emotional health, self-confidence, and lifelong behaviors.

Kristina shares what it’s like growing up in an environment marked by uncertainty and emotional instability, and how those early experiences can create deep-rooted confidence issues. She opens up about how insecurity around safety and stability can even influence eating behaviors, including overeating driven by fear, scarcity, and not knowing when the next meal might come.

The conversation also explores Kristina’s journey through intense life experiences in the 1990s, including military service, PTSD, and the high-pressure demands of serving in uniform. Coming from a family with a strong history of military service, Kristina made the decision to serve herself—working to pay for college and carry on a legacy of responsibility and resilience.

Now practicing family law, Kristina uses her lived experience to guide families through some of their most difficult moments. Her work is rooted in one core belief: doing what is truly best for the child. She brings compassion, insight, and firsthand understanding to families navigating divorce, helping them minimize harm and create healthier outcomes for children.

This episode is an honest look at how early life experiences impact adulthood—and how healing, awareness, and purpose can transform pain into powerful advocacy for others.
