In this episode of #SelfCareSaturday, Adonica speaks with Eve Rodsky about her book Fair Play and how she's training couples to reimagine the domestic balance of career and life.
Eve is the NYT bestselling author of the book Fair Play which has been featured as the October pick for Reese's Book Club. Good Morning America, Tamron Hall, as well as Harper's Bazaar, The Wall Street Journal and more.
Eve Rodsky is working to change society one marriage at a time by coming up with a new 21st-century solution to an age-old problem: women shouldering the brunt of childrearing and domestic life responsibilities regardless of whether they work outside the home.
In her book, she uses her Harvard Law School training and years of organizational management experience to create a life-management system to help couples both rebalance all of the work it takes to run a home and reimagine their relationship, time and purpose.
She received her BA from the University of Michigan and her JD from Harvard Law School. After working in foundation management at J.P. Morgan, she founded the Philanthropy Advisory Group to advise families and charitable foundations on best practices. In her work with hundreds of families over a decade, she realized that her expertise in family mediation, strategy, and organizational management could be applied to a problem closer to home—a system for couples seeking balance, efficiency, and peace in their lives.

Ashli is most widely known for her portrayal of Courtney, the snarky work nemesis of Hattie (Jonica T. Gibbs) on ‘Twenties’, Lena Waithe’s new groundbreaking comedic series on BET.

Originally from New York, Haynes comes from a theatre background and has studied at a number of studios including Ivanna Chubbuck & Nancy Banks. Haynes is also an accomplished singer- she’s toured with Jimmy Cliff and is on Cliff’s Grammy-winning ‘Rebel’ album. Haynes is also an accomplished entrepreneur- she’s a photographer, reads tarot, has an intentional candle business called ‘Star Magic by Ashli’, and is the creator of 21 Sundays, a monthly series of pop-up shop events featuring businesses owned by black women. Be sure to catch Ashli in the 2nd season of ‘Twenties’, only on BET!
