The Gift of Imagination (and Happy Boy Mom Book Birthday!) Episode 66, With my Son, Josiah Swanson
Welcome to a VERY SPECIAL episode of the Boy Mom Podcast! As this week marks the ONE YEAR BIRTHDAY of my book, BOY MOM 🎉 , it seemed appropriate for me to invite my first born son, Josiah, to join me on the podcast! I let Josiah choose what topic he'd like to talk about and without any hesitation he said... IMAGINATION!! Imagination has been a big part of Josiah's life since...well, either of us can remember. In this episode, Josiah shares some highlights from his
Bethany Hamilton, on Life with Preschoolers {Episode 62}
I'm so so excited to share this interview with one of the most inspirational people ever...one of Luke's early inspirations for becoming a professional surfer, and someone who has inspired our family (and people all over the world) for years: BETHANY HAMILTON. Bethany became world famous after surviving (though losing her arm to) a shark attack at age 13, then going on to become one of the best female surfers in the world. Today she is surfing better than ever, and is also an
Thunderstorm Artis, on “The Voice”, and Lessons He Learned from His Parents
Boy Moms...I hardly have words for how happy I am to be sharing a conversation with our friend, Thunderstorm Artis, with you. You'll be swooning over Thunder's respect and appreciation for his parents and his encouraging words to all of the moms listening. Thunder is big-time: SON GOALS!

Let’s Have Coffee!
Hey Friend. How are you? I keep waiting for a little extra time to put together a Coffee Date Post and I am finally realizing, that little extra time just isn't gonna happen. It's June already, which is funny because it feels like this year has lasted WAY TOO LONG already, but somehow I'm also surprised that it's summer. We've had north swells almost continuously this spring, which is rare (and wonderful) but it made June feel like a surprise. I will say
Facing Seasons of Anxiety {Episode 57, with Ruth Schwenk}
Today I am honored to have Ruth Schwenk join us to talk about seasons of anxiety. In recent years Ruth has faced multiple miscarriages as well as her husband's cancer diagnosis. She faced all this while homeschooling her children, writing books, and leading The Better Mom online community. (that's a lot!) Through all of this, Ruth has leaned deeply into her faith to discover that God becomes most real when you need Him the most. She also points out that it doesn't always take a
How We Can Best Support our Friends with Special-Needs Kids {Episode 56 with Sandra Peoples}
Hi Friends! I'm so excited to share today's interview with you! This episode is for anyone who either has a child with special needs, or knows someone who does. (Pretty sure that is everyone!) This topic was born out of my own desire to be a better friend; to not let my lack of knowledge or awkwardness get in the way of better supporting my friends who have kids with special needs. I'm pretty sure I am not not alone in all of this, and I'm so grateful Sandra Peoples
