Why are Mondays so hard? And do they really have to be? We asked five successful women — an actress, an author, a chemist, a philanthropist, and a budding surgeon — to share their secrets on how they make the first day of the week just a little bit easier.

Long before Bad Moms, there was Scary Mommy, a website that let us know that when it comes to parenthood, it’s okay to laugh, cry, and hide out in the basement with a laptop and a beer. Jill Smokler is the original Scary Mommy, first creating the site to deliver an honest and hilarious portrait of her adventures as a stay-at-home mom.

Since then, Jill has become a New York Times bestselling author, and Scary Mommy is a movement. It’s a place where 30 million imperfect parents stop by each month to read heart-wrenching and often hysterical tales about parenthood.
