Episode description

We're delighted to be joined by Kate Swenson, fellow hockey mom and founder of Finding Cooper's Voice, an online and in-person community where families of children with disabilities can come together to celebrate, laugh, cry, learn and get support.

With over a million followers Kate's goal is to normalize the stigmas surrounding having a member of the family with a disability and what she refers to as a "secret world." Her book, Forever Boy, A Mother's Memoir of Autism and Finding Joy was published in 2022 and quickly became a national bestseller. Kate, her husband, and four kids, live in Minnesota.

This isn't just about Autism, but for all of us.
