About this episode
On this episode of Baby Steps, presented by BetterHelp, Jordana is joined by one of her favorite authors, economist Emily Oster. They talk about how Jordana’s friends ended up giving her several copies of Emily’s books the moment she started trying to have a baby, and why Emily’s data-driven approach is so helpful to hopeful moms. Emily shares some of the best lessons she’s learned, both from her own experience conceiving, as well as in the years researching the effectiveness of different strategies and decision-making processes. She also shares some fascinating info on how the uncertainty of pregnancy often leads to suboptimal decision making, and why you may want to take bold steps sooner than you’d expect. This is a conversation you’re going to want to hear. Thanks again to our presenting sponsor, BetterHelp! Visit BetterHelp.com/BABYSTEPS today to get 10% off your first month.
