How Parents Can Model an Amazing Life for their Kids with Monica Swanson

Decidedly Dry - Sobriety, Alcohol-Free Living, Quit Drinking, Sober Curious

Hi Friends!
How in the world are you?! I’m absolutely, positively, so excited to share this week's episode with you! I won’t tell you the entire story of how I know my guest, because we chat about it in the beginning of the episode. But today I have the absolute pleasure of bringing to you Miss Monica Swanson!!
Monica is a popular blogger, host of the Monica Swanson Podcast (previously: The Boy Mom Podcast), and she's the author of Boy Mom, and recently released, Raising Amazing. She was born and raised in the Pacific NW (whoop whoop), is a mom, wife, and just an unbelievable human.
Why did I ask Monica to come on the Decidedly Dry show? Well first off, I’m a total super fan of her work and I selfishly wanted to spend time with her. Duh! But also, she’s one of those moms who encourages and inspires through her words and writing. She motivates me to be the best mom I can be. Her parenting advice? Valuable and applicable. Her words? Beautiful. Her commitment to wanting to get this parenting thing right? Relatable.
While we may not talk about sobriety throughout this entire episode, we hit on so many good topics. One of my favorites: how crucial it is to set a good example for our children.
Y’all are going to love this episode! Enjoy!
