Fair Play Coaching
Create a home that actually works— for everyone.
Most couples aren’t arguing about dishes or laundry.
They’re stuck in a system that no longer works—and don’t have a clear way to fix it.
In many homes, one partner is carrying the majority of the mental load: tracking schedules, anticipating needs, managing details, and holding the responsibility for whether things fall apart. Over time, this creates stress, resentment, and a dynamic where one person becomes the default “manager” of the household.
Fair Play coaching is a guided process designed to change that system at its core.
Using the framework developed by Eve Rodsky, we work together to redefine how responsibilities are understood, divided, and fully owned—so that both partners are actively participating in the life of the home, not just reacting to it.
What makes this work different is the structure.
With a background in educational therapy and executive function, I don’t approach this as a conversation alone. We build systems that are:
Clear and concrete
Sustainable in real life (not idealized)
Designed to reduce cognitive overload
Adaptable for families navigating ADHD, work demands, and young children
This process focuses on:
Making invisible labor visible
Creating full ownership of responsibilities (not partial “help”)
Establishing shared expectations and standards
Reducing the constant need for reminders, follow-ups, and mental tracking
Many of the couples I work with are:
In the transition to parenthood or raising young children
Navigating uneven default roles that have built up over time
Feeling stuck in repetitive conflict around household responsibilities
Wanting a more intentional, respectful partnership—but needing a clear way to get there
This is not about perfection or rigid 50/50 balance.
It’s about creating a system where both partners understand what needs to happen, take responsibility for their part, and contribute in a way that feels fair and sustainable.
Fair Play coaching is most effective when both partners participate.
However, it’s often initiated by one partner who is ready for the dynamic at home to function differently—and is looking for a structured, supported way to begin that shift.

Baby already here?
Join us for a 12-week virtual couples course to keep your relationship intact when sleep, sanity, and sex have left the building.
Parenting is hard.
It’s beautiful and hilarious and full of love, but it’s also sleepless nights, endless dishes, and arguments about who changed the last diaper. The first year with a baby can push even the strongest couples to their limits. that’s why Keep Your Partner Alive: Surviving the First Year With a Baby was created. Think of it as your weekly check-in to laugh, reset, and learn a few tricks to get through it together (with less resentment and more teamwork).
Over 12 weeks, you and your partner will spend one hour a week in a fun, real-life, virtual session. You’ll tackle the big stress points—sleep, chores, intimacy, in-laws, money—while building simple habits that keep you connected. No lectures, no eye-rolls—just practical strategies, real conversations, and a little humor to remind you why you actually like each other. By the end, you’ll have more than survival skills; you’ll have a stronger sense of “we’ve got this.”
Because the first year with a baby is hard. Really hard. But it doesn’t have to destroy you (or your partnership).
