Yarona Boster learned how to parent from the people she watched die.

She is a death doula. For years she has sat at the bedside of people in their final days. She has heard the regrets. She has watched what mattered at the very end. And what she learned there is what she now teaches parents.

She also grew up in chaos — a Holocaust survivor father, a mother carrying her own abusive past — and she chose, on purpose, to do it differently with her own eight-year-old son. She is a communication strategist, a TEDx speaker, a two-time international bestselling author, and the author of Unspoken Signals: Essential Parenting Skills to Raise Emotionally Secure Children.

In this conversation she talks about why most parents repeat the old patterns even when they swore they wouldn't, how she practices the new way in the quiet moments most of us never notice, what dying people taught her about how to live, and the day she got her own mother back on a horse weeks before she died.
