Show Notes

Emily Oster is an economist, bestselling author, and creator of Parent Data, where she uses research to cut through fear-driven myths about pregnancy and parenting. In this episode she discusses how data and boundaries help us make better choices when there’s no way to guarantee an outcome, why treating everyone—including toddlers, teenagers, and even adults—like they need both love and limits leads to resilience and how parenting can reveal universal lessons about responsibility, connection, and growth.
