Hi! I'm Brandi Walker

Good News for the Soul is a blog that shares encouraging, informative and upbuilding posts about mental, physical & spiritual health topics aimed to benefit middle-aged women.

So whether you’re living with a medical condition or you have a loved one coping with one like myself, hopefully an article or two or the weekly thoughts from this blog newsletter helps you manage it. Remember “A joyful heart is good medicine.”
