As I Wander with Lauren Lanoue
Life is a journey full of uncertainty. It can feel impossible to find where we belong, but I believe home can be right here even as we wander. These short, 10-15 minute episodes are written and hosted by me, Lauren Lanoue. With them, I hope to provide a safe space for us as we learn together to find home or make it wherever we are on our own unique journeys.
