My guest today has a long track record of success in the fitness and nutrition space. Her most recent book, Miracle Mindset: A Mother, Her Son, and Life's Hardest Lessons tells the story of her son's near fatal accident that called upon all her mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual resources to continue moving forward and keeping faith through a very challenging time.
