How To!: Carve Out Creative Time

Allison is on the hunt for her next hobby. One that’s satisfying.
One that she can stick with. One that will fit into her family’s
very busy schedule. Except…maybe she’s thinking about that last
part all wrong. On this episode of How To!, Courtney Martin brings
on Eve Rodsky, author of Fair Play and Find Your Unicorn Space. Eve
argues that drawing—and defending—boundaries for individual,
creative pursuits is necessary for living a fulfilled life. She’ll
share how to balance domestic labor in order to carve out creative
space and pick something that makes your soul sing.  If you
