Biz Ellis, YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB Jun 19, 2019

Show notes

Biz Ellis is a former stand-up comic and corporate event planner. She now cohosts the comedy podcast that happens to be about parenting called “One Bad Mother.” She, along with her cohost Theresa Thorn, wrote a parenting, sort of, advice book, You're Doing a Great Job!: 100 Ways You're Winning at Parenting. After feeling like so many of the parenting books they read did not make them feel confident or comforted, they wanted to make a book that reminded parents that no matter how they're doing it, if it's working, good job.

Civil rights. Eating disorders. Sexual assault. Drugs. This is her magnum opus. Jen and I did an Instagram LIVE of our conversation. It was beyond exciting to be interviewing her!!
