ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Lauren Vallotton is a pastor, speaker, and co-host of the podcast Dates, Mates and Babies with the Vallottons, a show dedicated to supporting individuals and families through dating, marriage, parenting, blended-family life, and emotional health. Known for her clarity, warmth, and diplomatic approach to complex conversations, Lauren can often be found laboring to find just the right word.
