Podcasts about when you have too much

If you've ever felt like you're doing everything in your household—while your partner somehow has time to watch SportsCenter or scroll on their phone—you're not alone. Managing the invisible load of running a home and family can feel like an unpaid, full-time job on top of everything else you do. And if you're navigating sobriety, the stress, resentment, and exhaustion can feel even heavier—because now you're no longer using alcohol as a “reward” or a way to take the edge off. I asked Eve Rodsky, author of Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live), to share how you can rebalance the division of labor in your home, set boundaries that stick, and reclaim your time—without the guilt, resentment, or endless arguments.

Romanita Hairston, CEO of the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, delivers a powerful reflection on leadership, faith, and purpose. She reveals how her journey through nonprofits, tech, and philanthropy is deeply intertwined with her identity as a woman and follower of Christ. With bold inspiration from Martin Luther King Jr., Hairston challenges leaders to rise above cultural norms, embrace their full potential, and build a "Beloved Community" rooted in love and justice. She urges listeners to lead with curiosity, courage, and conviction, offering a vision of leadership that transforms not only workplaces but entire communities through faith and service. On whole-life integration: “That leads to lots of different ways we have to see ourselves in lots of different contexts. When our relationship to our children and our family is different, with the way we keep and care for our community can sometimes be different, when a lot of things become different about how we show up in environments because we are women. But it's always mediated through this question of ‘Who has God called me to be and how does that lead me to show up in this space?'” On leading with curiosity: “Women have a powerful ability to lead with curiosity. And that [saying] ‘tell me more' is I think a bit of a superpower in what women can bring to a conversation. Leading with curiosity and courage. Because it's not always, it doens't always feel safe to be curious in a context where you're supposed to know. So I think that's an unique encouragement to any leader but a very unique encouragement to women to use that superpower of curiosity.” Hear more from Romanita Hairston at Women, Work & Calling Annual Event Friday, November 1, 2024 where she will be our keynote speaker!

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls' Night! I'm so excited about today's episode. Today we're talking about how to get on the same page about household responsibilities with your spouse. Question for you –  Do you and your spouse (or partner or roommate) ever have a hard time figuring out who is responsible for managing certain household tasks? This could apply to chores, paying bills, or making meals. Okay, another question for you –  Are you frustrated because the majority of household tasks always seem to fall on you?  Friends, I've lived in that tension before, but, today's guest (and her book) changed everything for me and my relationships in general!  Our guest for today's episode is my new friend, Eve Rodsky. Eve is an expert on the gender division of labor. She wrote one of my favorite books called, Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live). In it, she discusses the issue of unequal labor in the home, why this is hurting our relationships, and what we can do to fix it.  One of my favorite parts of the episode is when she explains the concept of being the “She Fault” and why so much of the domestic work falls in the hands of women. More about that soon!  Friends, whether you're married, engaged, single, or dating, I know there's something for you in this episode!  Okay, one more quick thing before we dive in – I wanted to let you know that there are a handful of cuss words in this episode, so if you're listening with tiny ears around that repeat everything like my girls do, maybe put some headphones in for this conversation!  Alright, let's jump into my conversation with Eve!

I love each and every guest we've had on this show, but I'm just gonna say it: for me at least, this episode is probably the most important and relevant one we've done yet. Today we have Eve Rodsky, the Harvard-trained author of Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live).I personally credit Eve's ideas – and the playing cards that help you implement them – with making the “invisible work” of running my own household visible, and equitably dividing that work with my husband.As you'll hear today, Eve embarked on this journey to find answers to her own problem. After becoming a mom of two, she watched as she became the default doer of the things, all while feeling sidelined in her career and “abandoned” by her husband (whom she still loved).In other words, her “Sh*t I Do” list grew longer and longer without any real discussion of who should actually do what.Fair Play is the antidote to that problem, and this episode breaks down the method in detail. You'll come away equipped to start a conversation with your partner; identify and fairly divide responsibilities; create space for yourself; and ultimately live a happier, healthier life.Eve and I also get into:* Why household labor tends to be so unequal* Men over-reporting and women under-reporting their contributions* How to raise this topic with your partner* What Fair Play looks like in action in my own marriage* “He's the income earner. So shouldn't I handle everything in the home?”* Understanding the different types of labor (daily grind vs. on your own time)* Hard-to-define responsibilities like spirituality and “magic” (tooth fairy, etc.)* Why it's so important to own a task completely* Eve's key to staying happy even as you shoulder more responsibility in lifeLinks: * Fair Play book* Fair Play cards* Fair Play documentary* Eve's second book, Find Your Unicorn Space* Eve's podcast with Dr. Aditi NerurkarSubscribe to my weekly recipe newsletter here: https://whattocook.substack.com Get full access to What To Cook When You Don't Feel Like Cooking at whattocook.substack.com/subscribe

Invisible labor. It's the work — in our households especially — that has to happen but that no one sees. It's making the doctor's appointment, ensuring the Valentine's cards are purchased, remembering the milk. When we think about equity in household labor, we often find that there are already inequities in the visible work, and they can become insurmountable when the invisible work is added in. Today on ParentData, Eve Rodsky joins with some solutions to this seemingly endless task list of problems. Her book, “Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live),” and the movement it's inspired, aims to rebalance workloads and encourage hard conversations, saving time, sanity, and even marriages along the way.

"A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live)"

The girls are back and it's a new season (and new year!) of Mother Up! In this episode, Kacie and Gianna reflect on the holiday season and the emotional toll that can come along with traveling, group gatherings, and the realization that you are likely the one in charge of creating your child's holiday memories now. They also discuss recent adventures and events - how Kacie got spontaneous by taking a last minute trip to Cabo, and how Gianna thrives under pressure when it comes to outfit planning. As they share heartwarming moments and open up about the challenges of motherhood, their conversation touches on the importance of vulnerability in relationships, self-care practices (why they're more important now than ever), the fair play method, and what you can expect in upcoming episodes!

“We are both keeper-in-touchers,” says Jason Levin, author of the book Relationships to Infinity, which studies the art and science of keeping in touch. He and his wife Lori Mihalich-Levin first met on September 11, 2001 in France and stayed in contact as Lori built her law career and Jason built a career which includes his current role as a keynote speaker, trainer and business development coach at Ready, Set, Launch. This practice of keeping in touch has carried over into their married life as well. In a conversation at the kitchen sink, having put their two young sons to bed, Lori asked why there wasn't a program to help new parents navigate their personal and professional lives. After Jason asked her what she could do to solve the problem, she began in earnest what would become Mindful Returns, a program which guides new parents transition back to work after parental leave.    The two touch base each Saturday night by consolidating what they call the “daily detritus” into one basket in order to tackle the duties of parenthood together. This idea was inspired by Atul Gawande's “Checklist Manifesto. The two have also been inspired by Eve Rodsky's book “Fair Play,” and they discuss the importance of a balanced division of labor in a household.   Lori and Jason's support for one another is obvious. Join today's discussion to hear their advice on how to write a book or make a speech in public and find out how Jason earned the name The TicTac Guy!   Quotes   “The foundation of Relationships to Infinity is the social science behind networks, and how we think about our approach to connection and reconnection. Lori was just talking about the fact that we both are ‘keeper-in-touchers.' There's actually a lot of social science behind that.” (8:44 | Jason) “I said to my dear husband, ‘There should be a program out there, a class I can take about how to transition into working parenthood. I can take a class on how to massage my baby, puree baby food, make a birth plan. I can't take a class on how to navigate the personal and professional identity crisis I'm having as I become a working parent. And Jason said, ‘Well, what are you going to do about it?' And thus, the program that I created, Mindful Return, was born.” (10:53 | Lori) “Too often when we think about building something entrepreneurial, it has to be in the garage, venture funded, all these things. But what if you take little bite sized pieces with mind numbing detail on a weekly basis and you build something?” (14:26 | Jason)  “There are so many dual career working couples these days, that this is an issue and it spills into the workplace too. Because if you have if you're doing 90% of the mental work of your household, you're just not able to focus on your job as much as someone who is doing 10% of the mental work of a household.” (21:52 | Lori)  “Parenthood made me so much of a better public speaker, because before we had kids, I would stew about the slides. And I would sit there and analyze them, and I'd memorize my script. And then we had kids, and I said, ‘I don't have time for any of that. And I just showed up as who I was, and I was much more spontaneous, and I hadn't over prepared anything, and people liked that better.” (33:14 | Lori) Links The Checklist Manifesto - Atul Gawal https://a.co/d/hppObRx Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do By Eve Rodsky https://a.co/d/6ZoaX2O Parents at Work Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parents-at-work/id1239258343   Connect with  Lori Mihalich-Levin: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/lorimihalichlevin/ Mindful Return https://www.mindfulreturn.com/ Lori's book - Back to Work After Baby - https://www.mindfulreturn.com/back-work-after-baby-book/   Connect with Jason Levin: READY, SET, LAUNCH readysetlaunch.net LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonlevinspeakertrainercoach/ Jason's book - Relationships to Infinity   Connect with Chris Batz: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisbatz/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theliongroupkc  Instagram: @theliongroupllc Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm  

Who knew that a text about blueberries could nearly end a marriage? Eve Rodsky received a text from her husband, Seth, asking why she didn't pick up blueberries at the store—and it sparked a movement that has saved countless marriages and made women's time and the value of it a topic in the forefront of conversation. A Harvard-educated lawyer, Eve is the author of two of my favorite books: Fair Play: A Game Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live) and Find Your Unicorn Space: Reclaim Your Creative Life in a Too Busy World. Both books, at their core, are about time: in Fair Play, how to create a more equitable division of labor within a household, and in Find Your Unicorn Space, how to create—period. Creativity, as Eve argues, is not optional—it is essential, and makes us more interested and interesting. This is an interview I've wanted to have for years and am so thankful to have made it happen, hence its release on Thanksgiving. Both books are essential to modern womanhood (and personhood, really), and are groundbreaking in their respective approaches. Two must reads, and a must listen.   Fair Play: A Game Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live) by Eve Rodsky Find Your Unicorn Space: Reclaim Your Creative Life In a Too Busy World by Eve Rodsky

Conversations around women and work are complicated, often heated, and rarely satisfying. The heart of the issue for women is: how can we thrive in our capacity for productive work as well as provide care for others (children, aging parents, and other loved ones). This conversation hit fever pitch during the pandemic and it seems we've been in a prolonged season of flux since then. The conversation in the church feels tense too. There's been a gap in discipleship regarding women and work for decades now, and trusted voices are few. Not only that, but women often endure conflict or judgment from both sides of the work vs. stay home divide. We need to be having a better conversation. On this episode of All Things we are having that conversation! Joanna Meyer, the founder of Women, Work, & Calling (an initiative of the Denver Institute of Faith & Work), helps us think biblically and practically about the issues of work and family that women face today. She invites us to think more holistically and it's so helpful. We are all made for productive work, so I invite you listen for some soul-deep encouragement.You can learn more about Joanna Meyer's work here: https://denverinstitute.org/contributor/joanna-meyer/ You can learn more about Women, Work & Calling here: https://www.womenworkandcalling.com/ Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live): https://amzn.to/3S31jh9 Called Together: A Biblical Look at Gender in the Workplace by Joanna Meyer: https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/view/63855492/calledtogether-final Women & Work: https://womenwork.net/

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. About Eve Rodsky: 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?

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.

Today's guest is Eve Rodsky. She wrote the book Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live), which gamifies the life management system to help partners and families reimagine their relationships. She's elevated the cultural conversation about the value of unpaid labor and care, and provides a system that trades in assumptions for values based decision-making. Asking the simple, yet profound question, “what would happen if we treated our homes as our most important organization?” Eve's New York Times bestselling book was one of Reese's book club picks, followed by an award-winning documentary and book sequel “Find Your Unicorn Space: How to Reclaim Your Creative Life in a Too Busy World.”We also cover…00:02:08 — Bringing Awareness to the ‘Invisible Work' ConversationHousehold inequalities that prevent us from exploring our creative spaceGoing from a lawyer to a gender division of labor expertHer dreams of smashing glass ceilings to feeling emotionally and physically abandoned at work and at homeThe start of her Fair Play journey after becoming a mother of twoLearning that 93% of household work is done by mothersWhy invisible work remains unseen for late stage capitalist patriarchy to continuePushing for equality in the school system 00:11:40 – Quantifying the “Sh*t I do” Spreadsheets for Maternal tasksDispelling the conditioned belief placed on mothers to manage the householdCreate an ownership mindset with Fair Play cardsHow the ‘lead dad' movement started creating more connection in their livesTurning the mom and dad job description into an even playing field Kelly's take on her non-traditional household & addressing mom guiltSharing the Magic Suit (invisible workload)Checking in with your partner to divide up the workloadHow taking ownership and accountability for mistakes creates new relationship dynamics00:24:35 — Setting Boundaries, Systems, and Communication in the Home Learning to treat your home as the most important organizationApplying her project management skills to her own homeSetting boundaries around your ‘availability' as a mother“Why did I have to earn my own personal time?”The generational disconnect: from selfless to selfishWomen's time being infinite like sand, and men's time being finite like diamondsChanging the narrative that has led us to become compliant in our own oppression00:38:08 — Protecting Your Unicorn Space3 exercises to create curiosity, connection, and completionDefining your guilt & shame Setting up your Unicorn Space by outlining your valuesCreating the system behind setting boundariesWhy stripping your values strips you of yourselfHonoring your partner's creative spaceTrade in assumptions for value-based decision making with Fair Play & Unicorn SpaceResources:Website: EveRodsky.com Instagram: @everodskyInstagram:

On the surface, it may seem you and your partner put in equal parts effort when it comes to the home, relationship, and parenting. But underneath all the tangible to-dos lives an invisible emotional layer of emotional labor. There's a level of exhaustion brought on by the constant, unrelenting consideration of others that women are so familiar with. It's thanks to Eve Rodsky that I'm even aware of this phenomenon, let alone have the vocabulary to express it. She's out on a mission to change 21st-century relationships by giving a solution to an age-old problem: The uneven domestic and childcare burden carried mostly by women. She turned a personal breakdown into the catalyst for change that led to one profound question: What if we treated our homes as our most important organization? Her NYT bestselling book Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live) is a system to help couples rebalance the burden and reimagine their relationships. She gives us the magic formula for “fair play” in the home and learning to see the undervalued thought work that goes behind the obvious execution.

Cynthia is joined by ITN grad and founder of MotherBar, Elle Gail. Elle spent the first 20 years of her career leading marketing teams at some of the world's top brands and admits that she fully subscribed to the hustle and burnout culture of the corporate world. After having two kids back-to-back and grappling with the oh-so-common mom guilt, she discovered ITN and used the course as a way to find a better balance and deepen her health and wellness knowledge.  It was around that time that she started to explore the benefits of CBD and met with another ITN alum who had connections in the industry. Elle wanted to create a product for other people who felt like they were white-knuckling through life and craved something to help slow down and give themselves a micro self-care moment. She highlights how the ingredients in the MotherBar CBD mints work to use your senses to come back to your senses and explains what her vision is for the brand.  Elle and Cynthia also discuss the phenomenon of the primary caretaker's “second shift,” how to recognize and work through your mother wound, and the process for giving yourself permission to just be. In today's episode, you'll discover:  How the curriculum at ITN helped Elle dig deeper into what she wanted out of the her next stage of her life  Tools for combatting the mom shame that is so prevalent in today's society  The inspiring and empowering story behind MotherBar  Giving yourself permission to have it all without having to do it all The importance of unapologetically making yourself your number one priority  Important Links: Use code CYNTHIA20 to get 20% off your first purchase at motherbar.com!  Show notes for this episode Resources Mentioned: Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live) by Eve Rodsky   Learn more about becoming a Certified Transformational Nutrition Coach Watch the Dream Career video series  Connect with Elle:  Shop MotherBar  Follow MotherBar on Instagram Follow Elle on Instagram   Follow Us: Visit our website Follow us on Instagram Follow us on Facebook

I'm so excited to have Eve Rodsky on the podcast again! Eve first joined me on the podcast back in episode #312 where she discussed her book Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live). I highly recommend going back and listening to that episode so you have a foundational understanding of the concept of Fair Play. Since she was here last time, she has released the Fair Play Documentary that I also think you should go watch. In this episode, Eve and I discuss the invisible work being done at home and how society has tried to erase the gender division of labor in the home. So much focus has been on women and giving women tools to better balance work life and home life. Eve found it difficult through Fair Play to give solutions to families who said that both the man and the woman in the household were doing a task. Enter the mustard. How did the mustard get into your refrigerator? This is a great example that you have to hear Eve use to explain the difference between the execution of a task versus the cognitive labor related to a task. It's eye-opening! We then discuss some of Eve's family background growing up with a single mom as well as my daughter Abby's life as a single mom today. A large number of children each year are both to single moms. These single moms are unfortunately at a disadvantage because they are usually holding all of the cards for their families and therefore have fewer work and income opportunities available.  Eve also walks me through an exercise that I hope you will also do for yourself. First, what is an activity outside of your roles that you love to do and share with the world? This goes beyond self-care or exercise or pleasure reading. Second, what is something you love to do? What values does doing this thing bring up for you? I of course talked about travel and learning, but Eve helped me see how understanding the values underneath these things will help you find activities that can bring up these values for you even when you're unable to do the activities you really want to do. I hope you enjoyed this conversation with Eve Rodsky as much as I did!

Our bodies are often the wisest parts of who we are, but we regularly over-ride the messages they send us when they tell us when we're at capacity. We push through, over-work, see physical and emotional pain as something to overcome instead of important data to take into account about our needs and how we are living. And even if we do take in these messages clearly and see the need for needed shifts and care, it feels like change is not an option or acceptable. So we push ourselves until we crash. And this is often normalized - sometimes even celebrated - as a part of how we do work and life. And when the body dials up the pain or the anxiety to finally get our attention, the default for many is to become at war with the messenger - seeing our bodies as the enemy instead of the culture of work and health care as the culprit. This is only reinforced by the expectations from work and how everyone else “seems to being doing it all with ease.”My guest today shares her story of working through healing from an unsustainable work schedule where burnout showed up, took her out, and changed her career trajectory. Racheal Cook is an award-winning business strategist who believes entrepreneurship doesn't have to be so complicated. Through her business, The CEO Collective, she helps women entrepreneurs to scale sustainable businesses without the hustle or burnout. When she's not working with women entrepreneurs, you'll find her playing board games with her 3 kids and husband in Richmond VA.Listen to the full episode to hear:The formative experiences from Racheal's childhood that inform how she runs her business todayHow Racheal carves out time and capacity to cultivate strong relationshipsThe support systems and processes Racheal has in place so she can navigate caring for her aging parents and her family without burning outHow acknowledging and honoring the constraints on her time and her capacity helped Racheal build a sustainable businessLearn more about Racheal Cook:The CEO CollectiveInstagram: @racheal.cookLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) - Violence PreventionRYSE Center ACEs Disorder vs. Distress PyramidFind Your Unicorn Space: Reclaim Your Creative Life in a Too-Busy World, Eve RodskyFair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live), Eve RodskyFlorence and the MachineAtlas of the HeartDirty Dancing

In this episode, Lori Mihalich-Levin and Jason Levin took a detour from their usual pattern of interviewing moms and dads in different industries and sectors to discuss an issue that all working parents struggle with - how household labor gets divided. They have created a two-part series of special guests to dive into this important, juicy, and emotionally-charged topic!  Today, Lori and Jason are delighted to welcome Eve Rodsky to the podcast. Eve is a mom and a working parent celebrity. She is the author of the New York Times best-selling book Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live). She is also the author of the brand-new book, Find Your Unicorn Space: Reclaim Your Creative Life in a Too-Busy World.  Eve is a lawyer, and she has done extensive work in family mediation, strategy, and organizational management. She is married to Seth, and they have three children. Zach is thirteen, Ben is ten, and Anna is five.  In this episode of Parents at Work, Eve unpacks the relationship evolution that takes place in a marriage after the children come along. She shares the Fair Play origin story, explains the power of having systems in place, and plays a game with the Fair Play cards to help couples understand how baggage and assumptions make things emotionally charged.  Tune into today's conversation to learn about the value of systems and find out how couples can share household chores without triggering each other. Show highlights: Eve talks about her first job as a bar mitzvah dancer. (4:16) How Eve started helping parents communicate better. (7:24) Eve explains why things become so emotionally charged in the home after the children start to arrive. (12:38) Eve plays a game with her Fair Play cards and explains what they represent.

They're back! Colin and Drew are joining us again this week for another Bring on the Men episode, and this week we're focusing on all things parenting. Drew may have said it best recently when he said that no one prepares you for these little kid years - and we would have to agree! We want to thank the guys for their vulnerability and openness in sharing what's behind the curtain of being a dad these days, as they answered some questions that fathers aren't asked often with some very thoughtful and emotional responses (which makes us love them even more). We hope you enjoyed this special mini-series with Colin and Drew, and that it inspires conversations between you and your own spouses about some of the important topics that we just scratched the surface on these past two episodes.

Today, Michael Perry and I are diving in to how parenting and more importantly, parent involvement has changed over the years. As Maple's campaign mentions, we're going from 1950 to 50/50! We are joined by our dear friend and fair play expert, Eve Rodsky. Eve is the New York Times bestselling 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 in foundation management at J.P. Morgan, she founded the Philanthropy Advisory Group to advise high-net-worth families and charitable foundations on best practices for harmonious operations, governance and disposition of funds. 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. Rodsky 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.

A mother's fear and emotional struggle of going back to work once they have a baby has gotten worse and worse over the last few years. It's almost impossible not to experience these feelings considering the cost of childcare and lack of maternity leave options. My guest, Kimberly Didrikson, created a company called Learning Motherhood to help mothers navigate that transitional time more smoothly. Leaving your baby at home will never be easy, but there lies hope in these tips and resources she provides to ease the anxieties that mothers feel. Kimberly Didrikson is the founder of Learning Motherhood, a consulting agency and online community platform that helps women returning to work after having a baby from feeling overwhelmed with motherhood and career to thriving in navigating the changes that occur when becoming a mother and also pursuing a career. Kimberly spent 15 years growing her career at a Fortune 100 company and, as a director, managed teams with portfolios of over $20 million in yearly sales... yet nothing prepared her for growing and birthing a child and returning to work. In this episode we discuss: Tips for negotiating your transition back to work  Ways to reduce anxiety when you leave your child with someone else The reality behind “mom guilt” and how it can differ by country The legal rights each mother has in the workplace Resources: Frequently Asked Questions: Break Time for Nursing Mothers House Passes Bill to Ensure Breastfeeding Rights for More Working Moms Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do Connect with Kimberly: Website Blog Instagram: @learningmotherhood Facebook: @lrnmotherhood SHOW NOTES: https://lynzyandco.com/podcast/ Follow along on Instagram @motherhoodmeetsmedicine.  Join the Motherhood Meets Medicine community at patreon.com/motherhoodmeetsmedicine.

For so long a time, regardless of their work, women take on at least two-thirds of what it takes for the family to thrive. For those who are co-breadwinners, that means even more. Unfortunately, most of these have been left invisible and unheard of. Somehow, this has even become a huge source of mommy guilt, when a wife feels injustice over her disproportionate share of the household labor including emotional.In the workplace, this injustice is equally evident. Even when a woman works with the same level of demand, pressure, and importance as a man, she gets paid less. Woman's time is less valued than man's too. And when they both go home, she is expected to multi-task and take charge of all the cards while he enjoys much liberty and time. And yet again, she cannot seem to complain. This vicious pattern has become so embedded in the culture that she cannot seem to do anything within. Recognizing that this is such a universal systemic problem, Eve Rodsky started to revolutionize and change her life by unlearning so many things beginning ten years ago. It saved her own marriage and has helped many women since.In this episode, we talk about we are joined by Eve Rodsky as we discuss the "Fair Play Formula" and other key terms such as Conception, Planning, and Execution as well as Boundaries, System, and Communication, among others.----------Eve Rodsky is the New York Times bestselling author of Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live) and its highly anticipated follow-up, Find Your Unicorn Space: Reclaim Your Creative Life in a Too-Busy World (December 28, 2021).Connect with Eve via the following:Website: https://www.everodsky.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/everodskyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/everodskyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eve-rodsky-a26ba6552 Weeks of Me is hosted by Jacklyn Osborne and Erika Brooks.Check out our website -  www.52weeksofme.net or follow us on Instagram @fiftytwoweeksofme.For suggestions and comments, email us at fiftytwoweeksofme@gmail.com.

Why do so many of us moms feel guilty asking for help? You know, like it's a burden to ask someone for help or something that we need (love, support, so on)?   Defining yourself as someone who can “do-it-all” only sets you up for failure and guilt. Why? Because if you can't “do-it-all-by-yourself” then somehow you are “less than”. And we're here to tell you that is so not true!   In this episode, we share 4 ways to work past that guilt and learn to ask for what you actually want- guilt free!

In this episode, the Moms dig deep into an issue that mothers have faced for decades: the mental load.  If you're a mom, you know exactly what we mean.  The constant juggling of tasks, lists, requirements, details, inventories, and schedules for an entire household falls disproportionately on the shoulders of moms, but shouldn't dads be asked to carry some of that weight?  Though addressing this particular topic can sometimes devolve into an opportunity to complain about husbands, listeners will be delighted to hear Melissa and Leah take a much more productive approach to managing the mental load by asking partners to collaborate.The Book Blurb in this episode is from Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live) by Eve Rodsky.  For more on the author and her Fair Play products, visit everodsky.com.A few other noteworthy mentions include The Fair Play Deck of cards for dividing up household responsibilities, Eve Rodsky's episode on the Mimosas with Moms podcast, the Overwhelm episode of Glennon Doyle's new podcast, We Can Do Hard Things, and a Harper's Bazaar article on emotional labor, Women Aren't Nags -- We're Just Fed Up.

The Mental Load of Motherhood The mental load is a term for the invisible labor involved in managing a household and family.   MOTHERS AS CAPTAIN Cicciola and Luthar, 2016 Invisible Household Labor and Ramifications for Adjustment: Mothers as Captains of Households In the study, they sought to capture mothers' felt obligations as the “captain of the ship” that was their household, that is, the extent to which mothers felt that they, more so than their spouses, shouldered responsibility for the management of the home.   WHY IT HAPPENS  Descriptive and prescriptive stereotypes    MEASURES Emotional intimacy Physical intimacy Satisfaction with partner Parenting role overload Overall life satisfaction and emptiness HOW TO IDENTIFY OVERLOAD Burnout and depletion Resentment and dissatisfaction Overwhelm Feeling unseen MANAGING THE LOAD Heighten awareness among today's mothers of the degree to which and areas in which they might unwittingly shoulder disproportionate household responsibilities as compared to men, along with the potential fallouts.  “Mothering mothers” (Luthar and Ciciolla 2016, p. 1820).  Society should consider the magnitude of responsibilities mothers take on at home and at work, and equally, the degree to which mothers have opportunities to prioritize and make time for authentic connections with others to replenish themselves. HOW TO NAVIGATE THE MENTAL LOAD Share concrete examples of your mental load—> write them down Ask for help with the management, not just chores Continuous communication Delegate and outsource Task lists/ Project management Prioritize rest and self care Deconstruct gender stereotypes with partner and kids   Fair Play:” A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live) - Eve Rodsky Invisible Household Labor and Ramifications for Adjustment: Mothers as Captains of Households - Cicciola and Luthar, 2016  

With Dario Cristiano This episode is brought to you in cooperation with Advance. Understanding that equality in the workplace starts at home, several companies offer parental leave programs for men that go beyond the current legal requirements of two weeks. Sadly though, such offers are often not used by men for fear of the professional consequences to their careers. Yet, studies have shown that when fathers take paternity leave, mothers return to work more easily, female employment is higher, and the earning gap between men and women is lower. And, as the French INSEE Institute analyzed, although men in 2010 spend more time with their children, so do women. Leading to inequalities that remain largely the same: and women still spending twice as much time on household chores and care activities compared to men. P&G, the company behind brands like Pampers, Ariel, Gillette, or Oral-B, with Headquarters in Geneva,created the #Sharethecare program to address just that and has heavily invested in encouraging their employees to take advantage of this program. Dario Cristiano, the Site HR Director at the Geneva Headquarter of P&G, was one of the first to take advantage of this program that allows new fathers or domestic partners in same-sex couples, 8-week fully paid leave within the first 18 months of the child being born or adopted. In my conversation with him, he talks about what it meant for him as well as what fears he had and how he overcame them. “I was the first person in my whole family, my circle of friends, even at P&G I was one of the first to take [the parental leave]. It came with a lot of unknowns about what it would mean for me. But after I convinced myself, I had the feeling I had to convince everyone else around me, my manager, my colleague that it was the right thing for me.” What you will learn · How taking parental leave can serve you in a professional setting by teaching you new skills, such as resilience, leading in uncertainty, problem-solving, patience, foresight, … · About the four key moments before and after the parental leave: The Decision-Making, The Request, The Leave, The Return to Work · Obvious things are underestimated in their impact Tips · Listen more, be open to learn · Don't let society dictate what is right for you · Get educated about Dominant Culture, Unconscious Bias, Privilege (see resources below) Resources About P&G and their #Sharethecare Program: · P&G - Shifting Cultural Norms - Gender Equality Begins at Home - We advance Cas Study Other resources to continue the Equality & Inclusion journey learning on Dominant Culture, Unconscious Bias, Privilege · Blind Spot by Mahzarin Banaji and Anthony Greenwald · Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live) by Eve Rodsky · Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman · What Works by Iris Bohnet Further resources can be found on the Fish in the Boardroom website Find Dario online LinkedIn Procter & Gamble Biography Dario Cristiano joined Procter & Gamble 12 years ago in his Home Country, Italy.

Eve Rodsky | Fair Play | Book Review by Lisa Woodruff of Organize 365 On Mondays, I will be posting a podcast recording of previously recorded book reviews. These are books that have impacted me that I want to share with you. In May, the Organize 365 book reviews will focus on estate planning and home organizing. This week I am reviewing Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live) by Eve Rodsky. This came out in the Fall of 2019 and I interviewed Eve on the Organize 365 Podcast in December 2019 (Episode 312). One of the things I struggled to articulate for years was the mental load I had as the female parent in our family with two kids. Women tend to do more physical in home care and tend to carry the mental load of caring for the home and family. In the book, she helps us identify the many parts of simple tasks like “making dinner” - the meal planning, the grocery shopping, the food preferences of each family member, the food preparation, and even the clean up after eating.  Not only does this book make you think about the division of labor in your home and family, it explains how we unpack our feelings and better distribute the load. It helps us to level the playing field in our families. If you are looking for a solution to the problem of mental load, Eve has it for you. You can also watch this as a video review on YouTube.  Follow me on Goodreads! If you are interested in trying Audible for audiobooks, you can get a free trial with my affiliate link.

  For far too long, women have been held responsible for completing an unfair share of work (especially invisible labor) at home. Even if a woman works a full-time job outside of the home, she is often also expected to complete the majority of domestic and emotional labor. What's to be done about all the “invisible work” women do to keep partnerships afloat? In today's episode of Psychologists Off the Clock, Eve Rodsky, author of Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live), and co-host Jill answer that question.

Eve Rodsky received her B.A. in economics and anthropology from the University of Michigan, and her J.D. from Harvard Law School. After working in foundation management at J.P. Morgan, she founded the Philanthropy Advisory Group to advise high-net worth families and charitable foundations on best practices for harmonious operations, governance and disposition of funds. 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. 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.

There are more women earning college degrees and participating in the workforce than ever before. Even still, women spend far more time on unpaid labor than men. Eve Rodsky, author of the new book Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live), seeks to address this universal imbalance. Rodsky began her journey to address this inequality after reaching a tipping point in her own marriage. After recording all of the unrecognized work she was doing for her busy household, she realized the disparity between her and her partner was striking. Fair Play offers four simple and practical steps to redistribute invisible work, reignite your relationship and reclaim your own time. Join Eve Rodsky and INFORUM on the quest for domestic rebalance. ** This Podcast Contains EXPLICIT Language ** Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
