It Is What It Is And It's Not Great – Details, episodes & analysis

Hi, I’m 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. I’ve spoken a lot about parenting and the challenges that come along with it. But now? I’m not a Scary Mommy anymore. Welcome to It Is What It Is And It’s Not Great. This podcast is about the stuff we don’t always say out loud. It’s about what happens after the plot twist — after the divorce, the depression, the diagnosis. In my case, at least. Every week, I’ll sit down with someone who’s been through it too — whatever “it” looks like for them. Because life is hard. But it’s a hell of a lot easier when we stop pretending it’s not.
