This week, we were honored to have Chardell Buchanan on our show. As a mother of a child with a rare condition, she knows how hard it can be to take care of yourself.

Imagine what it would be liked to be diagnosed with multiple conditions in your late 20’s, having to totally re-learn how to live your life.
