The Story of Scary Mommy She's Got Issues

    • Personal Journals

Welcome to She's Got Issues, the podcast and magazine dedicated to Gen X Women. Join us as we explore the journey of Scary Mommy, a blog that began in 2008 as a personal outlet for Jill Smokler to share her experiences and connect with like-minded women. Over time, Scary Mommy grew into a thriving media empire, attracting millions of followers and achieving unexpected monetization.
However, faced with personal challenges and seeking growth beyond her capabilities, Jill made the difficult decision to sell the company to a New York media start-up. While the influx of resources initially promised exciting opportunities, the reality fell short of expectations. Scary Mommy has since been sold again, now bearing little resemblance to its original form.
In this podcast episode, we delve into the story of Scary Mommy, its rise, and the subsequent changes that led to its transformation. As we navigate the aftermath of this journey, we reflect on personal growth, identity shifts, and the exploration of what comes next.
