Mullings Books
Dr. Mandolen Mull never set out to write a book—she simply wanted to stop feeling ashamed of her story. For much of her life, she had been told that no one needed or wanted to hear it. But that didn’t sit right with her. In fact, it felt deeply, unmistakably wrong.
So she began sharing pieces of her journey publicly—and discovered, to her surprise, that people did need and did want to hear it.
This book is a candid account of the stumbling blocks that have shaped her life: battling severe Crohn’s disease, experiencing miscarriage and divorce, surviving a traumatic car accident that resulted in brain damage, enduring assault, and confronting the heavy weight of people-pleasing and perfectionism.
But it also tells the story of her stepping stones: earning a doctorate, founding a company, writing books, speaking to sold-out audiences, and unexpectedly becoming a foster mother overnight. Through it all, Dr. Mull has sought to transform the grit of her life into something meaningful—something luminous.
Her writing in this book is raw and unfiltered—intentionally so. Like real pearls, her words carry their blemishes, irregularities, and variations in luster. And yet, through that very imperfection, they shine.
Because through all the grit—she, too, has become a pearl.
