I met Saundra Dalton-Smith in March at the Spark/NRB conference and she is one of the sweetest people I know! She wants people to be healthy in their mind, body and soul so they can live the life God has for them. We talk about her journey from losing her mom after childbirth to becoming the woman you see today. This conversation will leave you encouraged and also able to recognize where you are in your health journey.
