Welcome to our new, spiffy newsletter, which accompanies our brand-spanking-new website design over at scarymommy.com (go check it out!).
I’m Kate, Scary Mommy’s new(ish) editor-in-chief, and, along with my wonderful team, we’ll be bringing you all the great stuff you’ve long loved from Scary Mommy, along with a few new bells and whistles.
A word about what it means to be a Scary Mommy in 2022: It’s no secret that moms have had it the worst since the pandemic began over two years ago. We’ve been at our breaking points time and time again and yet told to carry on, without much meaningful support to speak of from our employers or government. We’ve yelled – hell, we’ve primal screamed – for help and been offered little in return except “you’re doing great, sweetie.”
So it’s through that lens – the months-past-the-breaking-point, where-do-we-even-go-from-here lens – that Scary Mommy takes a moment to begin anew. You’ll see a warmer, more modern looking site than you’re used to, but we’re still the same girl underneath the new veneer. With this new Scary Mommy, I promise to help bring you not only those biting, truthful first-person accounts of motherhood, sex & relationships, and mental health & well-being (and much more), but also stories about things you care about not just as moms but as women (*gasp*) of a certain age.
We’ll hit your inbox every day, just as we always have, and look forward to further creating a dynamic community together. We’re so, so so glad you’re here! |
