Life can be full of twists and turns. In all of our lives, we experience pivotal moments that can change everything we once knew. When you look back at those moments, you can see an image of your life before in comparison to what it may look like now.  In today’s episode, my dear friend Brooke is here to tell her story. As a child Brooke was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, and scoliosis. Things then took a turn for the worst when her liver started to fail.
