How to teach our kids to be human in an AI world with Jodi Wilson

Jodi Wilson has led an unconventional life. She became pregnant with her first of four children at 22, she’s always worked as a freelancer and was even one of the OG mummy bloggers, she lives in a rural part of Tasmania, and she’s deeply interested in researching and writing about both motherhood and what our brains and bodies need to live well.

So, while Jodi’s experience with making work, work as a mum might not represent the average, there’s so much wisdom to be learned from her life’s work, and from what the science shows us about motherhood, our brains, and what we actually need to live well and navigate the chaos.

Here, we talk about the reason motherhood is so hard, what she thought would happen to her career after becoming pregnant at 22, the indigenous economic concept of enoughness, and how we teach our children to be more human in an increasingly AI world.
