The Boy Mom Podcast with Monica Swanson and Friends

January 25, 2023

A Rebellion Against Mediocre Motherhood, with Abbie Halberstadt.

I am so excited to share this encouraging (and perhaps a bit convicting – in the best sort of way) – conversation with you! Abbie Halberstadt believes that Christ has so much more to offer you and your family than the empty validation of fist bumps for surviving another day that worldly culture bring to the table. Her book, M is for Mama, resonated with me deeply, and I am so glad I get to share her with all of you!

Raising and homeschooling her ten kids (including two sets of identical twins—and that’s a story of its own!) Abbie has hard-earned wisdom to share, as well as humor and grace. This was one of my favorite interviews ever!
