Talking "Issues" with Jill Smokler

Talking "Issues" with Jill Smokler

First she was "Scary Mommy" and now "She's Got Issues." Jill Smokler is one of the O.G. mom bloggers when she launched "Scary Mommy" in 2008. Now in her 40s, divorced, parenting 3 teens, and weathering life's highs and lows, Jill has launched a new platform, "She's Got Issues," to connect with Gen Z women like her. She shies away from nothing. On the podcast (and forthcoming magazine) she openly discusses her diagnosis with bipolar disorder, divorcing her gay spouse, grief, body image issues, adult friendships, intimacy and more. Today Jill opens up to Maria about her journey to where she is now and how she's really doing.

Thank you Jill for giving moms permission to be imperfect with littles in 2008 and for giving moms permission to be imperfect with teens now in 2023.
