Today I am speaking with⁠ Eve Rodsky about division of domestic labor, the mental health impact of maternal stress, and the Fair Play Method. Eve Rodsky transformed a “blueberries breakdown” into a catalyst for social change when she applied her Harvard trained background in organizational management to ask the simple yet profound question: What would happen if we treated our homes as our most important organizations? Her New York Times bestselling book and Reese's Book Club Pick, Fair Play, a gamified life-management system that helps partners rebalance their domestic workload and reimagine their relationship, has elevated the cultural conversation about the value of unpaid labor and care. In her highly anticipated follow-up, Find Your Unicorn Space: Reclaim Your Creative Life in a Too-Busy World, Rodsky explores the cross-section between the science of creativity, productivity, and resilience. Described as the ‘antidote to physical, mental and emotional burnout,' Rodsky aims to inspire a new narrative around the equality of time and the individual right to personal time choice that influences sustainable and lasting change on a policy level.

WOW!!! This one is going down in history as one of our favorite episodes. Get ready to feel seen, heard, and understood thanks to this conversation with Eve Rodsky about the INVISIBLE and UNPAID labor of women. Note: though we speak in heteronormative terms, this conversation is for anyone who feels like they're taking on more responsibility in their relationship than their partner. And if you're single/ dating and see yourself in a long-term partnership in the future, NOW is the time to start thinking about what “fair play” looks like. You will learn... - the 3 words that RUIN all relationships - why women do more unpaid labor + some shocking statistics - the secret formula for rebalancing the responsibilities in your household - how to challenge cultural assumptions that say you must “do it all” and create a more equitable dynamic in your relationship Remember: these gender imbalances are NOT YOUR FAULT nor are they your partner's. There are a lot of cultural assumptions at play here and it's time to dismantle them to create “fair play” between men and women.

In this special episode (a live event at City Winery!), Zibby interviews New York Times bestselling author Jill Santopolo about Stars in an Italian Sky, a shimmering, heartfelt story of two star-crossed lovers in post-World War II Italy and, generations later, a New York City love story that will uncover a long-buried family secret. Jill reveals the inspiration behind this story, her strategy for writing a dual timeline, and the topics she loved exploring: fashion and love through the ages (and across socioeconomic classes). She also talks about her incredibly successful 2017 debut novel The Light We Lost (which was a Reese's Book Club Pick!), and the book she is working on now.Purchase on Zibby's Bookshop: http://bit.ly/432DT0wPurchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3U0gskxSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.

Welcome to this special Season Seven finale episode of the Mother's Quest Podcast, released on International Women's Day 2023. It feels like just right timing to bring this conversation to you, but the seeds for this episode have been germinating since last spring, when Jill Daniel of Happy Women Dinners came to me with an invitation. She asked whether my sister Caren, founder of Democracy Clothing, might be interested in hosting a brunch at her house in Los Angeles with best-selling author Eve Rodsky. I had recently learned about Eve's groundbreaking work, where she transformed her own “blueberries breakdown” into a catalyst for social change, applying her Harvard-trained background in organizational management to ask the simple yet profound question: What would happen if we treated our homes as our most important organizations? Her New York Times bestselling book and Reese's Book Club Pick, Fair Play, a gamified life-management system that helps partners rebalance their domestic workload and reimagine their relationship, has elevated the cultural conversation about the value of unpaid labor and care. In her highly anticipated follow-up, Find Your Unicorn Space: Reclaim Your Creative Life in a Too-Busy World, Eve explores the cross-section between the science of creativity, productivity, and resilience. Her journey and the tenets of both books came together in the Fair Play Documentary, a film by Jennifer Siebel Newsom in partnership with Hello Sunshine. Needless to say, I encouraged Caren to say “yes” to this opportunity. I knew there would be synergy between Caren's journey creating her hugely successful Unicorn brand Democracy Clothing, while raising two children and running a household, and Eve's message. Jill gathered an incredible community of women for brunch that day where we gifted all of them with size inclusive Democracy jeans through a try-on experience that was empowering and a conversation between Jill, Caren and Eve that was profound. When Eve said yes to being a guest on my podcast and it came time to interview her, I knew I wanted to include Caren in this conversation. What follows is an intimate look at the values and insights Eve has woven into her two books and an exploration of what Eve has learned about living an E.P.I.C. life. As Eve shares at the end of this episode, the Mother's Quest Podcast and this conversation between the three of us is also “unicorn space.” We're so grateful to share it with you. We hope that what you hear sparks conversations with your own partner and children that bring to light and make more fair the division of labor in your household and that you use this as a permission slip to reclaim your own time and creativity in your E.P.I.C. life. Content Note: Eve speaks in powerful ways and sometimes that includes a few carefully chosen bad words.  I encourage you to listen to this episode in privacy or to pop in some ear buds if you are with your children.

After more than a decade of dead-end dates and dysfunctional relationships, Christie Tate has reclaimed her voice and settled down. Her days of agonizing in group therapy over guys who won't commit are over, the grueling emotional work required to attach to another person tucked neatly into the past. Or so she thought. Weeks after giddily sharing stories of her new boyfriend at Saturday morning recovery meetings, Christie receives a gift from a friend. Meredith, twenty years older and always impeccably accessorized, gives Christie a box of holiday-themed scarves as well as a gentle suggestion: maybe now is the perfect time to examine why friendships give her trouble. “The work never ends, right?” she says with a wink. Christie isn't so sure, but she soon realizes that the feeling of “apartness” that has plagued her since childhood isn't magically going away now that she's in a healthy romantic relationship. With Meredith by her side, she embarks on a brutally honest exploration of her friendships past and present, sorting through the ways that debilitating shame and jealousy have kept the lasting bonds she craves out of reach—and how she can overcome a history of letting go too soon. But when Meredith becomes ill and Christie's baggage threatens to muddy their final days.  

Over the first season of Lifted, I have had the pleasure of talking to the dynamic creators of From Scratch. Through these conversations, I've thought deeply about creativity in general, creativity in my own life, and how creativity can be used to find our way back to ourselves. I thought it might be nice to talk to an expert in this field so that she can unpack and demystify this thing called creativity, and inspire all of us, but particularly caregivers, to use it in times of strife, challenge, and trauma. In this special bonus episode, I sit down with Eve Rodsky, New York Times best-selling author of Fair Play and National Bestseller, Find Your Unicorn Space, for a deep dive into creativity, and how we can use it as a north star to find our way back to ourselves.   ---------------- ABOUT OUR GUESTEve Rodsky transformed a “blueberries breakdown” into a catalyst for social change when she applied her Harvard-trained background in organizational management to ask the simple yet profound question: What would happen if we treated our homes as our most important organizations?

According to studies conducted throughout the course of the pandemic, mothers were able to complete ONE hour of work during lockdown, as opposed to their male counterparts, who were able to complete THREE hours of uninterrupted work.  New York Time's Bestselling author of Fair Play and now, Find Your Unicorn Space: Reclaim Your Creative Life in a Too Busy World, Eve Rodsky, is working to change society, one partnership at a time by coming up with a new 21st-century solution to an age-old problem: women shouldering 2/3 or more of the unpaid domestic work and childcare for their homes and families.In this episode, The Two Jess(es) sit down with Eve and talk about how WeSTAT has been the Unicorn Space that has saved them, one they didn't even know they needed. Together with Eve, they talk about the unapologetic carving out of sustained time to pursue creative work- and how it is THE way to keep from languishing in the deluge of the daily grind of motherhood life. Meet Eve:Eve Rodsky transformed a “blueberries breakdown” into a catalyst for social change when she applied her Harvard-trained background in organizational management to ask the simple yet profound question: What would happen if we treated our homes as our most important organizations? Her New York Times bestselling book and Reese's Book Club Pick, Fair Play, a gamified life-management system that helps partners rebalance their domestic workload and reimagine their relationship, has elevated the cultural conversation about the value of unpaid labor and care. In her highly anticipated follow-up, Find Your Unicorn Space: Reclaim Your Creative Life in a Too-Busy World, Rodsky explores the cross-section between the science of creativity, productivity, and resilience. Described as the ‘antidote to physical, mental, and emotional burnout,' Rodsky aims to inspire a new narrative around the equality of time and the individual right to personal time choice that influences sustainable and lasting change on a policy level. Rodsky's work is backed by Hello Sunshine—Reese Witherspoon's media company whose mission is to change the narrative for women through storytelling. Rodsky was born and raised by a single mom in New York City and now lives in Los Angeles with her husband Seth and their three children.Love all this free content???

Since elementary school, Dana Schwartz has been writing full-length books. Today, she's known for her work as a writer, author, and podcaster. Most recently, Dana published the book Anatomy: A Love Story, which was recently chosen as a pick for Reese Witherspoon's book club. Set against the backdrop of 1830's Edinburgh, this is a gothic tale full of mystery and romance. Inspired by grave robbers and the burgeoning Edinburgh surgical academic scene in the nineteenth century, this is a deliciously gruesome tale about the lengths one will go to for their passions – and the sinister twists and turns that are always lurking around the gaslit, cobblestone streets of a city where it's much more popular to die than it is to live. In this interview, Dana talks about being a prolific writer, creating leverage with Twitter, how “work begets more work,” why YA is more about marketing these days, and how novice writers can break into the industry today.

Now, Eve Rodsky is taking the next step in her mission, ensuring that women everywhere are finding themselves in a manner that has nothing to do with domestic life OR work, but rather, is rooted in creativity and "flow."

“L.A. Weather” tells the story of one very tumultuous year in the life of the Alvarado family. Successful Mexican-Americans living and working in Los Angeles, the three adult daughters maintain a commitment of meeting their parents for weekly family dinners to share their passion for food, and commitment to family.   Author Maria Amparo Escandon joins the podcast to talk about the narrative technique she uses in the novel: taking the reader through the dramatic year that changes each character profoundly, month my month, and who in her own life inspired the patriarch's unsettling preoccupation with the weather. Escandon discusses writing the book in what is not her native tongue, her love for Los Angeles, and what she calls “transcreation.” “L.A. Weather” is a New York Times Bestseller, a Reese's Book Club Pick, and named to the Best Books of 2021 by Harper's Bazaar. Inspired  by the vibrant story showcasing a Latino family that defies common fictional stereotypes, Margaret and Olivia discuss “Mexican Gothic” by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and Ericka Sanchez's “I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter.”

“Tessa, born and raised in Belfast, is a news producer for the BBC. She is also the single mother of a six-month-old son, who she is raising in the shadow of escalating threats to peace by a reemerging IRA. While she's at work one day, news breaks of an IRA raid at a gas station a few hours to the north. Tessa freezes as security camera footage reveals a familiar face: her sister, Marian, who is at the scene, putting on a black ski mask. From that moment, Tessa's life is upended, as she struggles to confront the seemingly impossible truth that her sister has become involved with the IRA.” Flynn Berry's third thriller, a Reese's Book Club Pick, is “Northern Spy.” Berry, a graduate of the Michener Center for Writers in Texas, writes her books in longhand and doesn't key them into a computer until she's written at least 1,000 pages. Known for writing novels with a strong sense of place, her first book, “Under the Harrow,” won an Edgar Award for best first novel. Her books, so far, have taken place in England or Ireland with a different part of the world coming up next.

SARAH PEARSE is the NY Times and Sunday Times Bestselling Author of THE SANATORIUM, Reese's Book Club Pick! We are very excited to have Sarah on the show. The Sanatorium looks fantastic. “AN EERIE, ATMOSPHERIC NOVEL THAT HAD ME COMPLETELY ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT.” —Reese Witherspoon An imposing, isolated hotel, high up in the Swiss Alps, is the last place Elin Warner wants to be. But she's taken time off from her job as a detective, so when she receives an invitation out of the blue to celebrate her estranged brother's recent engagement, she has no choice but to accept. Arriving in the midst of a threatening storm, Elin immediately feels on edge. Though it's beautiful, something about the hotel, recently converted from an abandoned sanatorium, makes her nervous – as does her brother, Isaac. And when they wake the following morning to discover his fiancée Laure has vanished without a trace, Elin's unease grows. With the storm cutting off access to and from the hotel, the longer Laure stays missing, the more the remaining guests start to panic. But no-one has realized yet that another woman has gone missing. And she's the only one who could have warned them just how much danger they're all in . .
