The Boy Mom Podcast with Monica Swanson and Friends

Ep. 185 : Practicing Presence during the Holidays (and everyday) with Kate Merrick

Today I am sharing a podcast episode that could transform your holiday season…maybe even your whole life.  Seriously, that’s a big claim, but have a listen and I think you’ll agree — it’s that powerful.

I’m so happy to bring back this conversation I had with Kate Merrick in 2019.  If you aren’t familiar with Kate yet, you’ll fall in love with her quickly.  In this episode I get to tell the funny story of how Kate and I met, and all of the wild ways our lives now intersect.  Kate shares her story of embracing presence in the hardest season of her life and how much she does not regret that now. Friends, this episode is both convicting, and inspiring.  I hope you can dive in and listen! And then go have a wonderful Thanksgiving and holiday season!
