Eve Rodsky is the author of Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (And More Life to Live).  She received her B.A. in economics and anthropology from the University of Michigan, and her J.D. from Harvard Law School. After working at J.P. Morgan, she founded the Philanthropy Advisory Group to advise high-net worth families and charitable foundations. In her work with hundreds of families over a decade, she realized that her expertise in family mediation, strategy, and organizational management could be applied to a problem closer to home – a system for couples seeking balance, efficiency, and peace in their home. Eve was born and raised by a single mom in New York City and now lives in Los Angeles with her husband and their three children.  In this episode, Stew and Eve talk about what led her to create a practical, now widely-used solution to the ubiquitous problem of inequality in our home lives, our most important organization, as Eve reminds us.  They talk about how couples can figure out what’s important to them as individuals and as a partnership and then -- in concrete, specific, and fun ways -- how they can take small steps to more closely hew to their values. They discuss the sources of resistance to change, common mistakes couples make, useful tips for how to overcome these anticipated obstacles, and what it means to live in your “unicorn space.”Here then is an invitation, a challenge, for you, once you’ve listened to the conversation.  Take a minute to think about how you might be undervaluing the attention required by your partner to do what they do.  Then consider what small step you might take to make your partnership a bit more fair.  Share your ideas, and your reactions to this episode, by  writing to Stew at [email protected] or via LinkedIn.  Hosted on Acast.
