What have you done recently outside your role as a partner, parent or professional? A guilt-free activity that is purely about having fun and leaves you saying, “I can’t believe I just did that”?
If you’re like most women, chances are you are prioritising everyone but yourself.
But author Eve Rodsky believes that carving out time to explore the gifts, talents and interests that make you you is a necessity if you want to live a happier, more fulfilled life.
But how do you do that, how do you communicate that to those around you, and how do you get over the guilt and shame?
Here’s why you need to tune in
In this interview from the archives, Eve unpacks what a Unicorn Space is and describes her own failed attempt to find one using a Post-It note during the pandemic. She explores the communication styles of our CEO Joy and her husband Tim to demonstrate how you can have high cognition, low emotion conversations that let you implement boundaries and systems to ensure you have time for what Eve calls ‘daily flourishing’.
Here’s what to listen out for:
[01:00] What is Unicorn Space about?
[04:04] What is a Unicorn Space?
[08:33] The ‘Unavailable’ Post-It note.
[10:33] There is a formula for thriving.
[14:14] What is your communication style?
[21:26] What is your partner’s communication style?
[27:35] How do you communicate with yourself?
[35:09] Is Unicorn Space only for the privileged?
