Talking with Adoptee and Adoptive Mom Jillian Lauren for National Adoption Month | Selfie Podcast Episode 153

November 18, 2020


Subscribe via Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | Google | IHeartRadio

I’m talking adoption with my fellow adoptive mom (and adoptee herself) Jillian Lauren. We’ve been friends for a long time and both adopted internationally and also from foster care. We get a little misty reading parts of our memoirs about bringing our boys home, and talk through what we’ve learned about love (and about ourselves) from the experience.

In this episode we talked about:

  • Everything You Ever Wanted: A Memoir 
  • Keto-BEAM for Keto Electrolytes
  • Hydralyte All-Natural Electrolyte Hydration Powder Sticks
  • Viteyes Blue Light Defender Gummies
  • Necessaire in Sandalwood 
  • Molton Brown London in Orange and Bergamot 
  • Malin & Goetz in Cannabis
