Welcome to the Live in Love Podcast! Each week Lauren sits down with friends and family to talk about all the different areas of her life where she gets to live in love. She shares behind the scenes things to share with you that you may not know even if you have read her book Live in Love. Co-hosted by Annie F. Downs.
