Welcome!

Hello! I’m Irina Gonzalez, an editor, writer, and podcaster.

Over the past 17 years, I have been an editor at some of the top women’s lifestyle brands (see my resume), have been published in 50 national publications and counting, and have written over 100 personal essays on a variety of topics. Currently, I am the Parenting Editor at theSkimm — where I oversee the creation of news-first parenting content to help moms live smarter.

I am also a freelance writer and the creator and host of the Mommy Needs Therapy podcast (formerly the Pandemic Mama podcast). In my spare time, you can find me exploring my colorful state with my husband and spunky toddler.

Please feel free to email me with queries, follow me on Instagram, and check out some of my work below:
