Cue crying from the playroom.

My son Ocean bursts into the kitchen to let me know he hurts his finger.

I asked "which finger did you hurt?"

Seconds later I found myself struggling to contain my internal laugh fest because let's face it — what's cuter than a 5-year old flipping you the bird 🙂

On a more serious note, I reflected on that moment, and many others over the past several months, evaluating my ability to be empathetic.

Today's episode is a reading from my most recent blog post This is REAL empathy.
