Welcome to Episode 86, where we sit down with Eve Rodsky.
Eve turned a "blueberries breakdown" into a catalyst for social change by applying her Harvard-trained background in organizational management to the home. Her New York Times bestselling book, Fair Play, a gamified life management system, has elevated the conversation about the value of unpaid labor and care. In her follow-up book, Find Your Unicorn Space: Reclaim Your Creative Life in a Too-Busy World, Eve explores the intersection of creativity, productivity, and resilience, offering an antidote to physical, mental, and emotional burnout.
In this episode, Eve shares her journey from a chaotic childhood to becoming a thought leader in domestic equity. She discusses the importance of treating the home as an organization, the mental load women carry, and the significance of time choice. Eve also shares a peek into the groundbreaking research from the Fair Play Policy Institute and the University of Southern California, which highlights the mental health impacts of cognitive labor.
Join us as we explore how to have effective conversations about domestic responsibilities, the revolutionary question of "What do I want?" and the importance of Unicorn Space for personal fulfillment and generational change.
