Today's episode features Dr. Mimi Zieman, an OB/GYN who is also an author and playwright, with her most recent project, her memoir Tapdancing on Everest, out in stores now! We talk about her experience as a medic with a team climbing the east face of Mt. Everest, as well as the experiences of her family members, escaping the holocaust, moving to Palestine, and then settling in NY, as well as the boxes she found herself in as she grew, and how she escaped them one by one.

You'll also hear about her dreams of dancing on Broadway, her play, The Post-Roe Monologues, and how Mimi faces life and listens to the universe and her gut to find the path to her true self and the life she was meant to live.

I found our discussion awe-inspiring and I think you will, too.
