The 9:47 AM Slack message. The mandatory all-hands meeting. The LinkedIn posts with #OpenToWork banners multiplying by the day. If you're a working parent right now, you know this fear intimately.

In this episode, I'm talking about something nobody wants to say out loud: How do we raise confident, secure children when we're one algorithm away from unemployment? How do we teach them about hard work and following dreams when hard work no longer guarantees stability? How do we model resilience when we're training AI to replace us?

I survived one round of layoffs. Twenty percent of my company didn't. Now I'm using AI tools because I have to—and every time I do, I wonder if I'm digging my own grave.

This isn't about whether AI is good or bad. It's about what it means to be a parent in an economy that treats people as line items to be optimized. It's about the impossible math of needing a job that makes you feel worthless. It's about trying to teach your kids their value when work has taught you that you have none.

If you've felt that 3 AM panic about health insurance. If you've snapped at your kids because you were paralyzed waiting for a layoff email. If you're exhausted from working twice as hard since your team was "restructured." If your child has asked "Will I have a job when I grow up?" and you didn't know what to say—this episode is for you.

No solutions. No silver linings. Just the honest truth about raising humans in a world that's forgotten we are human.

Let's talk about it.
