Hi, all. Emily Oster here. We have a bonus episode for the Raising Parents' Feed that we want to play for you.

It's an episode of My So-Called Midlife by Reshma Sojani and La Manana Media. And the interviewee is, well, it's me.

Reshma Sojani is the founder of Girls Who Code.

She's written books like Girls Who Code, Pay Up,

and Brave, Not Perfect.

And now she is sharing her insights for Midlife on Mike.

In this episode, Reshma and I unpack

the highs and lows of this really weird time.

Like scheduling everything, even sex, career pivots, parenting struggles, the urge to compare your life to others, the monotony of midlife, and why people totally blow up their lives as a result.

We debunk pregnancy and parenting myths, and we discuss perimenopause and how women's bodies

change over time. We want to play that episode for you today, and you can check out my so-called

midlife. We'll link it in the show notes. A quick break, and we'll be right back with Reshma Sojani.

Stay with us.

Should I tell them to leave?

Are they that?

You can hear it, right?

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Hey!

Hey, guys.

Hey, I'm trying to take my podcast.

I need you to go or be quiet.

I know.
