A parent recently asked me, “What book can I read to feel more positive?” I asked her for clarification. I wanted to know what she wanted to achieve. “I just feel like the last few months have left me in a dark place.” She was worried that her mood was impacting her...
Whether they are Chinese or not, my friends who have Asian heritage use the term “Tiger Mom” to describe or to contrast with the way that their parents raised them. We did not have a term like “Tiger Mom” to describe how we were raised but we do have the caricature of the “Jewish Mom” who is always checking in, worried and anxious, maybe a little controlling.
What are you going to do when your kids’ school decides to reopen but you don’t feel safe sending them? Parents are struggling right now to find the right path. When school districts don’t allow you to decide to keep them home, or when you cannot stay home with your...

A woman who attended the Let it GO! Intro Talk this week asked why super.BUILD serves early-career female-identifying professionals. I asked her where the next Elizabeth Warren, the next Lynn Zeitlin, will come from.
super.BUILD is a space for women to learn from each other. It is a place to connect. We need more incubators for leaders and mentors. With super.BUILD, I am creating that community.
In this new age based on connections, your wealth will depend on the quality (not quantity) of relationships you can build and maintain. If you are like Victoria, surrounded by friends-on-paper, where can you start building real bonds with real humans?
Where can you find people who actually “see” you?
If you have questions about super.BUILD, this is the beginning of our “library.”

“Dad, you do that know that books are dead, right?“ warned one of our kids, to whom I would later dedicate my 2015 book “Laugh More, Yell Less: A guide to raising kick-ass kids.“
And the funny thing is that they were the rare kind of kid that would actually sit down and read. In fact, they would regularly do something that I struggle to do: finish a book.
