Does it seem like one person does all the work around your home? This can be a source of a lot of tension for couples, families, and roommates, and one that many people struggle to address effectively. Kristen Jawad, a coach to women and couples, talks about "Fairplay," a game created by Eve Rodsky. The game helps people have conversations about how we get things done in a way that is connecting, rather than polarizing. Join us as we talk about the many ways you can use the tool and create more gratitude, understanding, and a sense of equity in your home.

Kristen Jawad holds a Master’s degree in curriculum and instruction and has advanced training in compassionate communication, mediation, restorative practices, life coaching, traditional healing, and spiritual care. In 2005, Marshall Rosenberg inspired her to offer empathic accompaniment to people experiencing inter and intrapersonal conflict. She instantly recognized the value of listening for feelings and needs. For two decades, she has shared effective ways to reduce harm and heal trauma — integrating brain, body, and mind. Kristen offers relationship-building practices to individuals, couples, families, and organizations — creating better, stronger bonds driven by trust and appreciation for each other. Clients seek her out for her calm presence, intuitive approach, and gentle way of inspiring and evoking the best in others. In her free time, she walks in the woods near her home, enjoys a warm beverage or delights in creative projects.
