Sage Family - 96: Shared Labor with Zach Watson
play

06/04/24 • 57 min

“There was a child that drowned when they were with their dad at a public pool and the mom was blamed while being five states away, and I thought, that was something I’d never considered, that women are blamed for the well-being of their children no matter what.”

Zach Watson joins me in today’s episode about Sharing Labor.

Zach is a content creator and coach teaching men to better see the invisible labor that is happening around them.

We discuss his awakening, examples of mental, emotional and domestic labor, why women carry so much of this load, how language is important, how to discuss this in our partnerships without triggering defensiveness, working on this ADHD, and supporting a societal shift toward greater equity.

“They’re holding you in that false narrative probably because you’ve enrolled them into that story. You know, we’re always informing other people who we are. So if I have a story, ‘I’m not good enough,’ there’s all sorts of ways that I’m going show up as, ‘I’m inferior and they’re better than me,’ so when they leave because of that, it’s validating the old story. So you have to go in and do this correction on a soul level.”

Katherine Woodward Thomas joins me in today’s episode about Conscious Uncoupling.

Katherine is the bestselling author of Conscious Uncoupling and an award-winning marriage and family psychotherapist.

We discuss changing the definition of success from longevity, the pain of detaching, how we’ve been doing divorce wrong, conscious uncoupling without our partner’s participation, transforming difficult emotions, curating an empowering narrative, breaking our patterns, creating a positive future, building a new life, and rituals for uncoupling.

“Connection is the substrate of parenting and that rests on my connection to myself. When I have connection, the creative possibilities are endless just as they are when I have connection with my children. We come out of a stuck place and the space between us opens up and there is so much more room for everyone’s experience in that connection.”

Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer join me in today’s episode about Menstruality.
