Feel like you contribute more to the household duties than your partner? Do you find yourself saying, "I'll just do it myself" more than not? If you're feeling burnt out or overwhelmed by all of the invisible mental work required to run a household, this episode has your solution. Eve Rodsky, author of the best-selling book Fair Play, is sharing her simple strategy for dividing household tasks fairly using boundaries, systems and communication. Whether you're single and can use this information to start strong in your next relationship, are married or have kids and truly need more peace and to truly be able to enjoy your free time, we hope this conversation is helpful, validating and enlightening.
"A boundary is 3 things: a permission to be unavailable from your roles, vanquishing guilt and shame in that unavailability so it doesn't ruin your unavailable time and being able to ask for what you need." - Eve Rodsky
