When you were a child, how did the adults around you react or respond to you making a mistake: knocking something over and breaking it?

But I love this question.

I'm very hard on myself. My parents were very hard on me. Last year one of my mentors made a $20k mistake, and seeing the level of grace, kindness, and lightness she gave herself was life changing.

We all deserve to treat ourselves, and each other, that way.

We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn
