Kate Swenson - mom, advocate, and author who will share her inspiring journey and insights. Kate has engaged audiences around the country with her stories about special needs parenting, motherhood, marriage, and finding herself after her son’s autism diagnosis.

“I’m a proud working mama of four living in suburban Minnesota although we will forever call the North Shore home. I live for coffee, preach kindness like my life depends on it and am continuously surprised by the twists and turns of motherhood. My son Cooper was diagnosed with autism when he was three years old and since then life hasn’t slowed down. And we share it all here and on social media because, well, I remember looking around one day, trying to find my people, families like ours, and realizing there were none. So, I created a space for us to be ourselves.”
