I’m so thankful God crossed this podcast’s path with mine! This is my favorite podcast to share with other moms! I know whichever stage of motherhood they are in that they will leave empowered and refreshed! God is using Monica’s voice to breathe fresh air into the lives of moms everywhere. I am forever grateful I am a recipient of that empowering breath.

While I was pregnant with my first son in 2018 God led me to Monica’s podcast. I never really listened to podcasts but wanted to get a little “jump start” on parenting before I had a baby. I cannot express the amount of gratitude I have toward Monica and the influence and impact she has made in my life in parenting my now two boys! I share her episodes with everyone I can because I cannot pass up the opportunity to share a good thing when I hear it! I look forward to new episodes every week. Thank you Monica for using your talents to glorify God and encouraging others to do the same. May God bless you and your family!

I have loved listening to Monica since discovering her a few years ago. Talk about wisdom! I love her vision for motherhood and parenting and her standard for excellence. Her podcasts and books have made me a better parent and our family a stronger family. Her guests are consistently relevant and full of that same rich wisdom. This is the podcast I reach for when I’m looking for solid parenting information. Grateful for her work!

Monica is such a wealth of biblical wisdom and encouragement. I enjoy listening to her multiple times a week, gleaning from all that she has to share. Her topics are always helpful and ones that I apply to my daily life as I raise my two boys ages 8 and 5. It would be a dream to sit and have coffee with Monica one day and pick her brain about parenting marriage and life. I view her as my virtual mentor and look forward to every episode she put out. Thank you for your commitment to this community Monica and for being such a great mentor to all of us who listen to your podcast.

I’m a mama to three boys ages 4, 2 and newborn and I love Monica’s books and now have been listening to her podcast that not only gives great parenting advice but marriage as well. This has been so helpful to listen to each week as I raise and discipline my boys and prepare for the teenage years in advance!

I love all of Monica’s content. From the breadth of topics she covers on her podcast to her weekly newsletter that always has some great tip or recommendation. I’ve read her books, subscribe to her newsletter and listen to her podcast- all of it has been exactly what I need in the season of parenting with intention and purpose. She gives solid biblical advice that has been an encouragement for me as I raise three kids.

I love Monica’s perspective on parenting, as a Christian mom who loves Jesus and the Bible, who loves life and fun and adventure, and who deeply loves (and enjoys) her family.

This podcast had changed the trajectory of my family for sure! So thankful for Monica Swanson and her wisdom that comes from heaven!

I’m so thankful for Monica and her biblical encouragement and practical wisdom! I’ve been blessed by tuning in and listening to her podcast and reading her books for a couple years now, and going through trials and difficulties in raising my four kids, three of whom are boys, I cannot recount how many times I have been encouraged, rebuked, and uplifted by her! So thankful for this resource, and I pray that God would bless you Monica and your family, and want to personally thank you for your ministry and input into our parenting!

Monica brings some amazing people on the podcast to share wisdom. She is so uplifting and full of expertise and love herself. I love how her very most important answers and wisdom point us to Jesus every time.

Look forward to the new episodes each week.

Monica always seems to know what I am struggling with. I homeschool my son and daughter (12 and 16). It is not easy but God has lead me on this path and I need people like Monica in my life.

Working out right now very early in the morning and needing to be quiet while my 3 littles sleep and listening to her podcast is so inspiring and encouraging for the start of the day and a good workout. Pointing us closer to Jesus! Highly recommend!

As a mom of 3 boys ages 11-19, I love this podcast!! I’ve been listening for years and will continue to do so. Lots of valuable wisdom!

Monica is now my running or workout “buddy” every Wednesday when her new episode drops (because that’s my Podcast time!). Her books have breathed life into raising my own four boys, and I look forward to her thoughtfully curated guests and shows every Wednesday. I keep recommending her works to my friends, and they are always refreshed as well. Thanks so much for all you do, Monica!

A great resource for moms and dads. I will be recommending this podcast to the parents I coach.~Lori Wildenberg author of 6 parenting books and licensed parent and family educator

This podcast is so enjoyable to listen to as well as practical and full of things I can apply to my life and parenting. I love the variety of guests and topics and that it’s rooted in the Word of God.

This podcast and Monica’s books “Boy Mom” and “Raising Amazing” have been absolutely invaluable to my parenting! Her resources have made me a better, more understanding parent and wife.

Love her books, her podcast but mostly her heart! She is such an authentic encourager!

Amazing for boy moms and girl moms too! Monica always has genuine, faith based, conversations with other amazing seasoned moms for us all to learn from. Whether you just started your momming journey or your children are older, Monica shares great advice and is fun to listen to! I feel like I’m sitting at her dining room table sipping coffee and just chatting about all the good stuff. I stumbled upon her podcast after starting the Boy Mom book and just wanting to learn and hear more from her while I’m driving or walking or cleaning up the house! haha! I was so pleased to find that she’s had a podcast for awhile now and I have loads of content to catch up on!! I’m on episode 33 now and have already learned and picked up so many things to bring into raising my two boys. Jacob(5) and Oxford (8 months) My favorite so far is just learning how to pray for not just my own wisdom to become a better mom for my boys but how to pray for my boys and my family. I look forward to every episode! I just want to add, Monica always asks some questions at the end of every episode and I love learning about the essentials. I always laugh because I would say mine is a cordless vacuum 🤣 among so many other things other moms have suggested too!! Thank you, Monica for taking the time to start this podcast & write your now 2 books! I can’t wait to finish Boy Mom so I can start Raising Amazing!!! Thanks for helping guide us moms in a faith based mothering! Love you!! 🤍 Lindsay

I started from the beginning and working through all of her podcast! They are amazing and such a breath of fresh air.

In this parenting world, as a Christian mama, this podcast is so helpful for us who want to raise good kid and have a good relationship with them. Thank you Monica for all your wisdom and knowledge that you are sharing and for amazing guests on your show. Elizabeth (Emotionally Healthy Legacy)

Over my years of listening this has become one of my favorite podcasts. I love the topics that are covered, the guests that speak and the way I leave feel encouraged and inspired to be the best faithful and intentional parent I can be.

Resources for raising young kids are plentiful, but Monica’s wisdom for raising faith-filled families, especially as they enter the teenage years, is a scarce and valuable resource. I can’t wait to hear more great wisdom and inspiration from Monica and her top-notch guests!

In my quest to raise amazing little boys to become dangerous men for the kingdom of God, Monica Swanson has become a most welcomed voice in my life. Once a week she brings authors onto her podcast, all of whom I have learned a tremendous amount from. Thank you, Monica!

Monica and her guests are always such an encouragement to me. I love her heart for intentional and purposeful parenting and Christian discipleship. It’s so great to know that there are other moms who see mothering as an honor and a gift from God.

I love your podcast! I’ve been listening to you for years now. I look forward to every time that I get to be alone and listen to your show. it inspires me, put me in a positive mood, a great mindset and motivates me. I am a fellow homeschooling mom of three boys, born and raised in Hawaii, but now living in California, my youngest Luke, in kindergarten. I had tears in my eyes as I listened to your last podcast. thank you for your dedication and all that you do. Your words have been such a blessing.

I stumbled across your podcast when searching for a podcast on raising boys a couple years ago. I had 2 littles boys at the time and I had mostly sisters growing up so I felt out of my element. This podcast was a PERFECT find for what I was looking for. Thank you for all your knowledge on raising godly boys!! It’s been more helping than you know!!

I’m so grateful to have found this podcast! Monica is so full of wisdom and humility. Such a wonderful example of a godly woman who is willing to grow into the best mom she can be. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom, and for encouraging us to become the moms we were meant to be. God bless you!

I SO appreciate Monica’s honesty, authenticity and commitment to character and truth in raising boys! As a mom of two boys, I have been so refreshed and strengthened by the wisdom shared in this podcast.

Podcasts are my jam so I listen to a lot but this one is an absolute favorite. Monica’s soothing voice delivers the most timely and helpful information for raising boys of character in this chaotic world. I look forward to the new episodes each week! From one mom to another, keep up the good work and many thanks for all that you do!

It makes me laugh when others say “it must be so much easier now that they are older” no, it’s physically easier but mentally and emotionally much harder! so thank you Monica for giving me a resource to look for support & wisdom… especially Godly wisdom. mom of three teenage boys 💙💙💙

I just love this podcast and Monica’s book Boy Mom! I’m a mom of 3 boys and this podcast has been a breath of fresh air. Often times I wonder if “is it just me” with dealing with certain things, so it’s good to hear another mom that has gone through it, deal with the same things. I love the encouragement and insight Monica gives along with the guests she has on her podcast.

As a new mom, of two boys under two, I stumbled upon this podcast on a road trip! I love Monica and the info she shares and the additional people that she brings onto the show!! Can’t wait to read her book next!

I am so thankful for the Boy Mom book and podcast. I tell everyone about it! I love the honesty of how hard being a mom can be and there is zero shaming! Every time I listen to a podcast I get refocused and rejuvenated. So thankful for this!

I have been listening to Monica for the last 2 years. I’m not even sure how I stumbled upon her podcast, but after listening to her Boy Mom audiobook, I knew I needed to learn from her as much as I could. I am a mom of 3 boys and the whole character training idea is what we hope for our boys, and what we constantly learn from her. She has so many amazing resources, and she is not shy in sharing them. Her love for the Lord and her family are a true encouragement to me. Thank you so much Monica. You have been a true blessing to our family!

I have four boys 9,6,4,and 2 so listening to your podcast has helped me in ways with my boys. They are getting older and it is harder to know how to talk to them and get to know them as they grow because each one is different in their own way! So thank you so much for the insight and the word of advice listening to you everyday does make my boys question why I listen!

Favorite weekly podcast that I have been listening to for years now! Highly recommend Monica’s podcast to any mom of boys. After having 3 girls who are teenagers and now raising my teen son and 11 year old son I am grateful for the many encouraging words Monica and her guest share.

I am a new listener but I am overwhelmed with emotion to see that I will have tools to help me raise both my boys (almost 2 and almost 8 months). I am a praying momma as well and having boys is so new and different because I have no brothers and neither does my mother but this podcast has been so helpful. I can’t wait to navigate this boy mom life with your podcast as my help

This podcast is both spiritually and practically helpful as I raise my sons. So thankful for the work Monica is doing! Highly recommend to all boy moms!

I am a mom to 4 (2 boys and 2 girls) and I am so thankful for Monica’s wisdom on boys. This podcast is so helpful to listen to as my boys are getting older and I wish I had found this when they were younger. I’ve learned so much through listening to her in just a few months. I’m so thankful for the moms who have older boys that help the next generation of moms to better understand our boys and to raise young men for the Lord. Thank you, Monica!

I am truly so blessed to have found this podcast! I am a first time momma, expecting a boy in a few months. When I found out that we were having a boy, I was SO excited, but also so nervous! This podcast has been such a God send, with so much wisdom and solid advice. I have been “binge listening” to as many episodes as I can throughout the day! Thank you so much for sharing your heart and wisdom-this first time boy mom sure appreciates it!😊

I grew up with 2 sisters, no brothers and now I have a 3 and 6 year old boy. This podcast is truly like a mentorship to me and has enriched my parenting to boys. I just wish I could meet Monica and her family and have her in my real like, but this podcast is incredible and holds a special place in my heart.

I am a 26 year old single, with no kids or husband yet. Imagine how much value I receive from listening to these once a day. Thank you Monica! And all of your terrific guests. 💛

As a Boy Mom and teacher, my life is crazy! However, it slows down a bit in the summer and I get to enjoy different things that are put on the back burner during the school year. I love my leisurely summer mornings catching up on your episodes while sitting on my porch swing and drinking my coffee. ❤️

I’m so thankful a friend shared this podcast with me! I love it so much and can’t wait to start implementing some things I’ve heard!

I have listened to this podcast for over a year. Taking in each episode. Something recently came up with one of my boys and I remembered just what podcast I would refer to for direction. I affectionately call Monica - boy mom. I even had to think of her name. Which to me indicates her mission is being accomplished more than she might think. Perhaps it’s better to be remembered for the Christ that is in you rather than just you. Thank you ‘boy mom’ for faithfully logging all these conversations so this mom had something to go back to just when I needed it!!!

I am a mom of three young boys and a counselor to girls and this is such a great podcast for all moms..Monica gives such practical tips in parenting while pointing us as parents to the Lord and pursuing our own relationship with Him.. I especially love the podcasts that cover the chapters in her book.. I have shared her podcast with several friends and learn so much from each one.. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and advice with all of us, especially moms with young boys..

I listen on my drive home from school drop off. It’s my favorite me-time. Raising two boys wouldn’t be possible without God. I need Him, they need Him, WE need Him! Thank you for sharing your heart and your God given talent.

I’m a boy mom to 4 boys! I’m so happy I found this podcast! Monica is so wise and love hearing all of her Biblical truth!
