Kristen Chase is probably best known as the author of the blog Motherhood Uncensored, which gained popularity as one of the few internet voices speaking frankly and humorously about the challenges of motherhood. She appeared on numerous top blogger lists, including the Babble Top 50 (2009 and 2010) and the Parents Magazine top 10 Power Moms online. And her essays have appeared in several anthologies, including Sleep is for the Weak, Kirtsy Takes a Bow, and the political anthology Mothers of Intention.

Her book “The Mominatrix’s Guide to Sex” based on her popular online column “The Mominatrix,” was released in January 2010 by Adams Media, and has been lauded by CNN, Parenting Magazine, Parenting & Newborn, Woman’s Day and Daily Candy among others.

As well as being a frequent guest on various television news shows weighing in on current parenting issues, you can find her as the host of The Kristen Chase Show on the CafeMom Studios YouTube Channel, as well as the popular Coffee Shop Confessions.

She currently co-hosts SPAWNED with Kristen and Liz, the newest addition to Slate/Panoply's podcast network.

Chase's writing on parenting culture and sex and relationships has been featured in numerous publications including Huffington Post, The Daily Beast, and regularly at lLifetimemoms.com, and Alphamom.com.

As Publisher and CEO of the Cool Mom Picks Network, which includes Cool Mom Tech and Cool Mom Eats, she works with sponsors to create campaigns that reach the site's over 1mm monthly visitors as well as 465,000 twitter followers, 72,000 Facebook fans, and over 100,000 Pinterest followers.
