Attunement invites us to listen deeply not only to others but also to ourselves. But what, really, does it mean to attune? How does it work? What happens when you’re attuned? In this episode of The Art of Accomplishment, Tara Howley sits down with Janine Parziale to deep dive into the practice of attunement and discuss:

• How attunement differs from basic active listening
• Recognizing when we are genuinely attuned versus disconnected from ourselves and others
• Practical ways attunement can improve communication and relationships in both personal and professional contexts
• How attunement can transform conflicts and challenging dynamics into deeper connections
• The risks and rewards of deep attunement

If your relationship with money has ever caused you grief, this glimpse into transformation could point the way to uncovering the root of your own challenges. Bobby Hobert comes to Joe with a question that sounds familiar to many of us: money struggles and how to step into the version of ourselves that feels so close, yet so elusive. What he finds instead is something deeper and messier: the recognition that trying to "get it right" is often the very thing in the way.

Together with Joe, Bobby explores:

• The subtle ways seeking approval can mask as leadership
• Why helping others isn’t always generous
• The discomfort (and magic) of not knowing who you are
• How stillness can reveal more than striving ever could

When Nathan Baschez saw a tweet from Joe Hudson about how he raised his girls—no punishments, no shame—he had to know more. So when Joe invited him onto the podcast to talk parenting, he jumped at the chance.

What unfolds is an honest look at parenting in real time. Joe shares how Hand-in-Hand Parenting shaped his family life, how emotional presence trumps perfection, and how parenting became one of his deepest self-development practices.

In this episode, they discuss:

• The link between emotional connection and behavior
• What it actually means to "stay with" a child’s emotions
• Why apology and repair are more powerful than being right
• And how we all inherit emotional patterns — until we choose otherwise

This is an episode for anyone who’s ever wondered if it’s possible to raise a child without control and whether, in doing so, we might raise ourselves too.

Nathan Baschez is a new dad who lives in LA, and the founder of Lex (https://lex.page), a new kind of word processor that uses AI to help you go deeper and have more fun while writing. Before this, he co-founded Every, and was the first employee at Substack.

We grow up in a world where seeking approval is assumed, expected. Authority figures (like parents) assume the responsibility of approval or disapproval to teach their offspring how to move through the world. It’s also a kind of currency: it determines who we are, where we belong, what doors open for us. But at some point, some of us begin to wonder—what happens if I stop asking for permission? In this episode, Joe and Brett wrestle with the complexity of approval-seeking and how to break free from it. They explore:

• The push and pull between belonging and authenticity
• The weight of societal norms and expectation
• The way doubt and conditioning pull us from our innate wisdom
• The necessity of discomfort in the pursuit of true authenticity
• The somatic cues that indicate when we are honoring our truth—or avoiding it
• Practical exercises for cultivating self-approval

There is a moment when the body becomes foreign, when the timeline of your life no longer extends indefinitely but narrows into an unpredictable horizon. In this episode, Tara sits down with Michael Nagel, a beloved member of the AOA community, to speak candidly about what it means to love and be loved in the face of his cancer diagnosis. They discuss:

• The “psychedelic of mortality”—how the nearness of death transforms personal and social dynamics
• Embracing the support of a community while wrestling with the vulnerability of needing help
• The stark cost-benefit analysis of chemotherapy
• The dual forces of grief and gratitude, and learning to hold both at once
• Denial’s strange and necessary role in maintaining the will to live.
• The radical act of saying yes to struggle, and what it means to want life even in its hardest moments

Join us for a conversation that explores what it means to live when death is an ever-present companion.

Generosity is often relegated to a bit part in our lives, an incidental thing we appreciate when we notice it but not something we consider important to driving our happiness or success. What happens when we put generosity at the center?

In this episode of The Art of Accomplishment, Brett Kistler and Joe Hudson unpack the ways in which giving—whether of time, resources, or presence—is a direct line to our collective humanity and changes the trajectory of our well-being and sense of wholeness.

They touch on:

• The unspoken generosity of cultures that thrive on giving
• How generosity exposes our attachments—our need to be seen, to be in control, to matter
• The difference between obligation and true generosity
• Moments where generosity is a lifeline, a language between people when words fail
• The ways in which loss, grief, and generosity intersect
