She’s Got Issues with Jill Smokler
I’m SO excited to be a guest on Jill Smokler’s podcast, She’s Got Issues!
You may know Jill as the founder of Scary Mommy, a blog that changed the internet and influenced more women to write honestly about their parenting lives. Jill published a few of my earliest essays on Scary Mommy and I’m forever grateful.
Jill knows how to cut to the good stuff, so it’s no surprise that on this episode, Jill got us right into a more personal conversation about friendships, specifically the endings of friendships and the heartbreak of it all.
And if you check out Jill’s instagram account, you’ll see a picture of us in college. Enjoy that mid-90s moment!
