Reclaiming creativity in a too-busy world with Eve Rodsky

News Not Noise

Show Notes

Eve Rodsky helped start a long overdue national conversation around equality of labor and time on the home front. Eventually, she realized that even when the domestic workload becomes more equitable, people still say something is missing in their lives and that something is personal creativity.

Rodsky calls this missing piece “Unicorn Space” — and defines it as the active and open pursuit of creative self-expression in any form that is fulfilling. She helps readers embrace all the unlikely, surprising, and delightful places where their own Unicorn Space may be found and says creativity is not optional. It’s essential.

She talks to us about manifesting our own Unicorn Space in a too-busy life.

Eve Rodsky received her B.A. from the University of Michigan, and her J.D. from Harvard Law School. She worked at J.P. Morgan and then created the Philanthropy Advisory Group to advise families and charitable foundations on best practices. Rodsky was raised by a single mom in New York City and now lives in Los Angeles with her husband and three children.

The big loser in the 2022 midterms: conventional wisdom. The late punditry was all wrong. Enthusiasm was high on both sides. There was no red wave. Women did turn out to vote on abortion.

Importantly voters seemed motivated by multiple issues at once – which shouldn’t be shocking but was discounted by the pundits in the final days of the campaign.
