Trump Accounts: What Every Parent Needs to Know
Trump Accounts are here, and every parent has the same question: will this actually help my kid, or is it just another investment vehicle dressed up as policy? This episode brings together three guests to investigate. Economist Kathryn Ann Edwards traces the history of programs like this and where they've worked before. CFP Barbara Ginty breaks down how she's weighing Trump Accounts against 529s for her own daughter. And Babylist CEO Natalie Gordon joins to talk about what financial security for kids could look like — and why the registry is only the beginning of the financial reality of a new baby. If you're pregnant, newly postpartum, or just trying to figure out what to do this week for your kid's future, this one's for you. Guests Kathryn Anne Edwards is a PhD labor economist. She writes opinion columns for Bloomberg news, hosts the Optimist Economy podcast, and runs an independent research and consulting business. Barbara Ginty is a Certified Financial Planner and the host of the Future Rich Podcast. She has been featured as an expert in Yahoo Finance, NY POST, Refinery29, NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, MSN, LA Times, NASDAQ, and Forbes. Natalie Gordon founded Babylist in 2011 while pregnant with her first child, convinced there had to be a better way to help expecting parents get what they need when they have a baby. Fifteen years later, more than 1 in 5 families having a baby in the US use the platform, over 10 million people give a gift on Babylist every year.

Is It Okay to Quit My Job?
If you've ever thought about stepping back from your career after having kids — and felt conflicted about it — this one's for you. We talk about what it actually looks like to pause, downshift, or pivot your career for family life: the money conversations you need to have with your partner before you do anything, why a career break is not a career ender, and how to think about your own ambition when it stops looking like everyone else's. Because taking your foot off the gas doesn't mean giving up. It might just be the most strategic thing you ever do. Neha Ruch (@neha_ruch) is the thought leader who rebranded stay-at-home motherhood for a new generation of ambitious women — providing the language, vision, and validation to see time in family life not as a detour, but as a powerful, enriching chapter. Her book, "THE POWER PAUSE: How to Plan a Career Break After Kids – and Come Back Stronger Than Ever" was an instant USA Today bestseller, named one of Oprah Daily’s top self-help books for 2025 and published with Putnam, Penguin Random House in January 2025.

What Does Childcare Actually Cost?
In this episode, we break down every childcare option out there, what each one costs, and how to figure out what's right for your family. We hear from an economist who reframes childcare as an investment (not a money pit), and a financial expert who walks us through the real numbers — from daycare centers and nanny shares to au pairs and the grandparent option nobody talks about enough. We also tackle the myth that childcare expenses should come out of mom's salary. It doesn't. It's an expense the entire family shares. And once you see it that way, everything changes. Corinne Low (@corinnelowphd) is an Associate Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy at the Wharton School. Her book Having It All (Flatiron) is a USA Today national bestseller, and her research has been published in top journals including the American Economic Review and Journal of Political Economy.

Are Kids More Expensive Than Ever?
In our very first episode, we're tackling the question every parent asks: are kids actually more expensive than ever? Yes—but the reason might surprise you. We hear from an economist who reframes what that actually means for your family's finances (hint: you're not burning money, you're investing it), and a mom of three who proves you don't need a huge home, a fancy car, or a perfectly curated nursery to raise a happy family. Because here's the truth: kids will flip your finances upside down. And they're worth every penny. Let's get into it. Corinne Low (@corinnelowphd) is an Associate Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy at the Wharton School. Her book Having It All (Flatiron) is a USA Today national bestseller, and her research has been published in top journals including the American Economic Review and Journal of Political Economy.
