The Boy Mom: Monica Swanson on Honest Parenting

In this episode of The Wholistic Greatness Podcast, I sit down with The Boy Mom, Monica Swanson. We discuss her struggle of initially finding balance as a new mom to embracing where she was which led her to the #wholisticgreatness  she practices today. This timing of this podcast is no surprise! I am in the middle of raising one beautiful daughter and two amazing boys! She is wise beyond measure when it comes to raising boys! Monica’s depth of wisdom from experience and the love of Jesus is evident in the advice she gives throughout this podcast today. And guess what? She has been SO generous to offer a giveaway at the end of this post and podcast! Go check it out!

Her practical tips will leave you equipped to be the best boy mom possible. You won’t want to miss it! Gah! I just love her and what she does!
