Hi, Im Jill Smokler. You might know me as the founder of Scary Mommy the blog I used to record my early days of motherhood, and later, went on to unite millions of imperfect moms around the world. Ive spoken a lot about parenting and the challenges that come along with it. But now? Im not a Scary Mommy anymore. Welcome to It Is What It Is And Its Not Great. This podcast is about the stuff we dont always say out loud. Its about what happens after the plot twist after the divorce, the depression, the diagnosis. In my case, at least. Every week, Ill sit down with someone whos been through it too whatever it looks like for them. Because life is hard. But its a hell of a lot easier when we stop pretending its not.
