Summary

Do you ever find yourself left with no time to work on yourself and habits because you’re managing your household? We’ve been told that “women can have it all,” but to have it all, we find ourselves doing it all . . .  Research shows that regardless of whether women do paid-work in or out of the home, they manage the majority of household responsibilities.  To top it all off, research shows that housework is hugely undervalued both by the world and by our family members. (That includes the ways we undervalue our own contributions, too.)  This combo of too-little-time and too-little-value leads to discord and resentment. In this week’s episode, I invited Eve Rodsky to help us work through these issues so we can have more fairness in housework and improve relationships (+ more time!) Eve spent over a decade studying the imbalance in time/value spent on housework and created a life-changing solution she calls the Fair Play system that solves so many of these problems.  In this episode, Eve teaches you how to restore fairness to the housework and how doing so will benefit every member of the family.  (Teaser: fairness isn’t about dividing the household tasks and responsibilities 50/50.) It’s time to have more time, to feel more valued, and to improve your relationships, too. Listen in and learn how!
