I would love for that to be more broadly recognized, because those are the people who are making the change, and those are the people who are always growing and learning and have that adaptive mindset that is so necessary, especially because we are living in a world where the foundational problems that we're working through every single day are rapidly evolving before our eyes in ways that escape our ability to keep up with them.

Hannah RobertsonGUEST
And I think that it's one thing to recognize and leave a harmful relationship when it's just you and that person, but it's far more challenging down the line when you've got children involved that you've got to consider.

Hannah RobertsonGUEST
There are implications perhaps for your work life, your economic security and things.

Hannah RobertsonGUEST
And it certainly is, especially when you're thinking about kids than when it's just you and another person.
