Almost every morning, I wince.I walk into a chorus of complaints. My 4-year-old refuses to put on clothes because he’s “too cold.” My 10-year-old glares at the lunch I packed. I love them deeply. They’re incredible. But the whining...it's grating.

It’s funny… every time I work on something important — like my book or my latest article in Harvard Business Review — life seems to test me on the exact insight I’m writing about. This last one? It hurt.

I’m thrilled to share a new article I co-authored for Harvard Business Review with my dear colleague and friend, Lisa Zigarmi. It explores something profoundly close to my heart: attunement—the practice of being so present with someone that they feel truly seen, safe, and supported.

If you missed the masterclass, How to Stay Sane, Resilient, and Optimistic, No Matter What — don’t worry, I’ve got you.

I wish I could stop talking about uncertain times but here we are. Even when things are chaotic and we feel exhausted, the good news is that each of us has more control than we think.
