Quotes
- “If you're a partner and you're trying to support someone who's going through really big changes, responding with curiosity and with empathy is usually going to get you in a better situation with your family system, with your relationship with that person, better than with judgment and criticism. “ Dr. Polly Watson
- “We share a lot of the domestic work and have figured out over time which parts fit our temperaments. I’m quite happy to do the cleanup, and you’re in control of the creative work in the kitchen.” Ben Watson
