48 | Eve Rodsky On How to Find Your Creative Unicorn Space

Work, relationships, kids, friends… Do you find that everything comes BEFORE your creative desires?  Or has it been so long that you can’t remember what it’s like to take some time to just be curious, and play with creativity?  Author Eve Rodsky joins Jen Louden in discussing how our patriarchal society has carved away the time and space women need to pursue their creative passions, and how to reclaim that creative space – your unicorn space.  Eve Rodsky has spent years researching the hours of unpaid and unrecognized labor that women are conditioned to do, and how it has affected our ability to be creative. Her book, Fairplay, outlines a new system for managing the household that divides labor fairly, and allows plenty of room for creativity and play.    Her new book, Find Your Unicorn Space talks about reclaiming the space for curiosity, connection and completion needed to live creatively.  Eve and Jen discuss how to engage in curiosity, the importance of connection in establishing a creative routine, and why completion doesn’t have to mean finishing the whole thing.  Listen to the episode to learn more about:  How the unpaid labor that falls on women constrains creativity and curiosity  A new system for putting your unicorn space FIRST  How to spark curiosity and follow that spark  Why creativity is not f*cking optional  Why you don’t need to be afraid of completion  Get a copy of Eve Rodsky’s books here:  Find Your Unicorn Space Fair Play
