The Boy Mom Podcast with Monica Swanson and Friends

August 03, 2020

Ep. 66 : The gift of Imagination, with my son, Josiah.

It is such an honor to share this episode with all of you!  My first-born son, Josiah, joins me to celebrate the one-year birthday of the release of my book, Boy Mom, for one of my favorite interviews ever!  I let Josiah chose the topic for this episode and he did not hesitate to choose the topic of IMAGINATION! Josiah’s imagination played a huge role in his childhood, and still to this day, Josiah taps into his imagination in some very practical and inspiring ways (he’ll share about that in our chat!)  This will be a great episode for your kids to listen in on, and I hope it inspires you to cultivate imagination in your kids (and your own life!)

ALSO:  Josiah created 2 awesome printables for you and your kids.  I think you’ll love them.  Find links to the printables and all show notes at:
