274: Parenting in the Age of AI | Abby Brody, Speaker, Author & Founder of the N=1 Movement
Episode 274
Thursday, 19 June, 2025
What if technology wasn’t something to fear, but something that could finally meet our kids where they are? In this episode of Parenting Impossible, Annette Hines sits down with Abby Brody, educator, innovator, and founder of the N=1 movement. Abby shares her powerful story of surviving back-to-back cancer diagnoses in her husband and young son, and how that experience reshaped everything from how she views education, to how she uses tech to advocate for personalized learning and healthcare. As a parent who has overcome massive challenges, Abby’s insights are personal, practical, and deeply hopeful. In this episode, you will hear: How Abby’s experience as a caregiver and parent led her to champion individualized, tech-supported learning. What the N=1 movement is and why the “average” child or patient doesn’t really exist. Why AI can transform education, freeing up time for creativity, recess, and personalized learning while supporting teachers. Simple ways parents can start using AI to support their child’s growth even if they feel intimidated by technology. How precision medicine could revolutionize healthcare by treating the patient, not just the protocol.
