Jill Smokler is a New York Times bestselling author and entrepreneur who became an authentic voice for millions of imperfect moms through her Webby award winning blog, Scary Mommy. Launched in 2008, Scary Mommy began as a chronicle of Jill’s stay-at-home days with her children and quickly transformed into a vibrant community of women brought together by a common theme — parenting doesn’t have to be perfect.
Of course, the need for honest conversations don’t stop with parenting, nor does our need for connection.
Since selling her company eight years ago, Jill has faced a complicated divorce, crippling depression and last year, was diagnosed with glioblastoma. Seeking the kind of support Scary Mommy once offered, Jill introduces a new podcast – “It Is What It Is And It’s Not Great.” With her trademark humor and authenticity, Jill will speak with an array of guests who have faced challenges of their own and are ready to share their experiences in hopes of helping listeners find solace.
