Kate Swenson
Kate is a proud working mama of four living in suburban Minnesota although they will forever call the North Shore home. She lives for coffee, preaches kindness like her life depends on it, and is continuously surprised by the twists and turns of motherhood. Her son Cooper was diagnosed with autism when he was three years old and since then life hasn’t slowed down. She shares it all here and on social media because, well, she remembers looking around one day, trying to find her people, and families like hers, and realizing there were none. So, she created a space for us to be ourselves.
