Janelle Hanchett is creator of the blog Renegade Mothering, where she invites readers to join her in “the fight against helpful parenting advice.” Janelle’s writing examines culture, motherhood, and feminine identity with humor, irreverence, and unapologetic rawness. Her first book, I’m Just Happy to Be Here, tells the story of her recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction after having children. 

Janelle teaches writing internationally and has been featured in Buzzfeed, Brain Child, Yes! Magazine, Mamalode, and elsewhere.
