Creating an Equitable Home with Eve Rodsky

In this episode I sit down with Eve Rodsky, author of the groundbreaking book Fair Play, to discuss the often invisible and unequal labour dynamics that play out in our homes. We get into why women frequently become the "she-fault" parent, shouldering the brunt of domestic responsibilities and emotional labour, often at the expense of their own well-being and careers.  

Eve doesn't just identify the problem; she offers solutions. Drawing on her own experiences and extensive research, she introduces us to the Fair Play system, a practical and insightful approach to rebalancing domestic labour and creating a more harmonious partnership. We explore how this system helped Eve and her husband transform their own relationship and learn how it can work for others.  

We also discuss the crucial role of communication and boundary setting in achieving a truly equitable partnership. Eve shares invaluable insights on how to have those difficult conversations, break free from societal conditioning, and reclaim our time.  

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the demands of modern life and wants to create a more balanced and fulfilling relationship.
