Navigating Menopause: A Guide for Partners

In this conversation, Dr. Polly Watson and her husband Ben Watson discuss the challenges and changes that women face during perimenopause while focusing on how partners can provide support with compassion. They explore emotional fluctuations, sleep disruptions, and the importance of empathy and curiosity in maintaining a healthy relationship during this transition. Together they share personal anecdotes and practical advice for navigating these changes together, emphasizing the need for open communication and shared responsibilities.

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
