Summary In this insightful interview, Eve Rodsky, author and founder of Fair Play, discusses the systemic issues of gendered unpaid labor, caregiving, and how to foster equity in household responsibilities. She shares personal stories, research insights, and practical strategies to empower women and men to create more balanced and fulfilling lives.

We dive into Unicorn space where women reclaim their right to be interested in their own lives. This is the time you generate to be creative, connect with yourself and explore as a human. Unicorn space is not for:

• Self Care
• Time with Friends
• Working out
• Beauty/Medical treatment time
• Zoning out watching TV

These are things you bake into your calendar to keep your body and mind going, they need to be a given in your life!
