Say Goodbye to Overwhelm: Reclaim Your Time With The Fair Play Method

Say Goodbye to Overwhelm, Resentment, and Exhaustion

Moms, it’s time to share the mental load and reclaim your life with The Fair Play Method

What would it feel like to know you and your partner are on the same team, sharing the household and childcare tasks?

What would it feel like to have more energy, less guilt and resentment, and less of the mental load?

No more coming home from work feeling like everything at home also falls on you.

No more nagging. No more asking 3x for the towels to be folded before just doing it yourself.

There is a better way. And you know what it is – The Fair Play Method.

Let’s be honest. There’s a difference between reading the book or buying the deck of cards and making the method work for your family. Maybe you’ve even tried to implement it and it didn’t go well.

That’s why you need Say Goodbye to Overwhelm: Reclaim Your Time With The Fair Play Method. During this 6-week group coaching program, you will work together with your partner to put the Fair Play Method into action to:

  • Get your kids involved. It’s more than handing them a chore list.
  • Build a household system that works for you and your partner. With a common language and communication skills!
  • Carve out time for you. You can finally take that pottery class, join that hiking club, or read a book in peace!

That’s right – you can come by yourself or with your partner. Do what works best for you right now!

If you could, would you give yourself time to play with your kids or even find that elusive time to take piano lessons or even simply take a bath without being interrupted?

Or would you continue to….

  • Carry all of the mental load. You’d like to talk with your partner but are too tired to have the conversation. Plus, you’re not sure how your partner will respond! It’s easier to plan the birthday party by yourself.
  • End each day exhausted and drained but feeling like you didn’t do enough. There’s still laundry to put away. You didn’t get to that work project you wanted to start on. And you don’t remember the last time you had an actual conversation with your partner.
  • Feel pulled in too many directions. You want to say yes to your kids when they ask you to join them on the swings. But you have work emails to respond to, dinner to figure out, and a piece of paper you need to find and sign for your son’s soccer team.
  • Put out fires. You’d like to get ahead. To be more proactive. But you feel like there’s no time. You can’t seem to get off this hamster wheel called motherhood.

You can change this when you join Say Goodbye to Overwhelm! You and your partner can finally put the Fair Play Method into action!

“Seriously? I’m already too busy. I can’t join a 6-week program!”

I get it. You’re busy. You don’t need one more thing to do. And, getting you and your partner on a Zoom call at the same time, forget it!

And I don’t you to sign up for something that makes you feel guilty if you’re not doing it.

  • You’re not sure how your partner will respond to you asking them to do more household chores.
  • You’ve read the book and bought the deck of cards. And they’re sitting on your desk, taunting you, as you continue to get dinner on the table by yourself every night.
  • You don’t want to find child care or shuffle around your schedule to show up for this class.
  • You know this program would be helpful but you’re worried it’ll be one more thing you sign up for and then don’t finish.

You cannot fail at this program.

  • It’s ok if you can’t make all the calls. They’re recorded.
  • It’s ok if you bring your partner or choose to come alone. Either one will be helpful!
  • If you take only a few ideas from it and don’t fully implement the method, you’ve still made progress.
  • And it’s not meant to be one more thing for you to do – it’s meant to free up your time so that in 6 weeks, you will feel less resentful, exhausted, and overwhelmed. Sounds like a win to me!

Wondering why should you join this group coaching program? Because the magic of the Fair Play Method helps you share the mental load. And…

  1. When you’re not the only one doing everything around the house, you have time to focus on your own goals. This might sound like a pipe dream, but it does happen. I’ve seen it!
  2. You can start running your household (and life!) in a new way that improves your mental health and overall well-being…without compromising the needs of your kids!
  3. All of this leads to not being overwhelmed when life throws changes your way. You got this! You know how to evaluate what’s working and what’s not and shift routines and systems as needed.
  4. Plus, think about the example you are setting for your kids when they see a mom who takes time to learn Spanish, is present with her kids, and isn’t the only one making dinner for everyone.

Maybe you’ve tried to implement the Fair Play Method before and it didn’t stick. This group coaching program is for you! We’ll work together to tweak the method for your situation.

We’ll start with creating time for yourself. Because when you’re not so exhausted, it’s easier to talk about making changes in the household without being snarky. Plus, we’ll cover topics such as:

  • Holding a conversation with your partner that gets you both on the same team. It’s you and your partner against the dishes not each other.
  • Getting your kids involved with household tasks without you having to constantly remind them to do something. Over time, they’ll be responsible for their tasks without mom being in charge! (it’s possible!)
  • Identifying what is important to you and your family so that you’re focused on tasks and activities that work for your family, not what society tells you to do! Love throwing elaborate birthday parties? Keep doing it! Tired of all the after-school activities – it’s ok to say no!
  • Holding regular family meetings or partner check-ins. This keeps everyone focused and becomes a place to discuss what’s working and what’s not.

Hi, I’m Valerie. I believe equity starts in the home.

Mother of 2. Wife. Friend. Productivity and Time Management Expert. Certified Fair Play Method Facilitator. Owner of Stride Productivity. Dark chocolate, dry wine, and dark-roast coffee lover. List maker and post-it note fanatic.

Here’s what I know about you. 

You’re exhausted. You’re feeling pulled in too many directions. There’s too much on your plate. And you are tired of feeling this way.

You desire the time to spend with your kids without thinking of all the tasks not being done.

You want to have time for yourself. To not feel so resentful and irritable toward your partner.

You want something to change. 

You want to stop feeling like you have to nag everyone to do anything.

You’re tired of asking for someone to take out the trash, only to do it yourself because it didn’t happen when you asked.

Maybe you’re wondering when things are going to get more manageable or feel easier.

Maybe you just want five minutes to breathe.

You know you want something different for your kids.

You know your family deserves a mom who isn’t exhausted and overwhelmed. Who isn’t full of resentment?

Our society doesn’t do a good job of supporting moms. We need affordable child care, paid parental leave, universal health care, and so many other structural supports.

While I support programs that are working on changing this, I also believe that equity starts in the home. When we get our families involved in household tasks. When running a household that doesn’t rely only on mom.

When we start to make these changes, we have time to figure out who we are outside of being a parent, professional, and partner. We get to be whole people.

You and your partner start speaking the same language. There are clearly defined roles and expectations about who is doing what.

You have guilt-free time to pursue friendships and personal interests.

You are happier. Your family is happier.

I promise, your future self will thank you. Are you ready?

Start today!

Ready to say goodbye to overwhelm? 

Valerie helped me identify where my time was going, what was working, and what wasn’t. She helped me create simple ways to better manage my to-do list and identify my priorities. I recommend working with Valerie if your to-do list and schedule is overwhelming!

Got questions? I’ve got answers!

What if my partner isn’t on board with implementing Fair Play?

This is a valid concern! The status quo has been working for your family for a long time. Change is hard, especially if it feels like it’s going to be more work for them.

You’re welcome to come to these calls without your partner. We can work together on ways to bring this to your partner outside of these calls. It’s not you against your partner. It’s you and your partner against the endless tasks of caring for children and a household.

You could watch the Fair Play documentary together first and see if that opens up any discussion around this topic.

And, if there’s still resistance, I can refer you to a couples counselor. We all need outside help sometimes!

If I already don’t have enough time, how am I going to have time for this?

Think about where you will be in 3 months or 6 months if you change nothing.

What if gifting yourself this time now gives you more time in the future? Time to relax, play with your kids, and work together as a team in your household. Have a sense of control!

And if it helps, think of this as a gift to your family.

I don’t need one more thing for me to do / something for me to fail at. 

You can’t fail this course. If you get even one idea from these calls, you will succeed. Even a small change in how you spend your time or approach your to-do list will have a big impact on your days!

And it’s not one more thing for you to do. It’s something you are gifting yourself so you can be more proactive in your life.

How much does this cost?

$106 total for 6 coaching calls plus community support!

What’s Your Refund Policy?

No refunds one week after calls start (September 18th).

Make no mistake…

You can continue doing things the way you are. You can say you have no time to show up to these calls. You don’t think your family will ever get on board with something like the Fair Play Method. Even if they start doing more, it’ll still end up falling on you to remind them! Or redoing something because they half-as#$% it.

But would you have read this far if you didn’t want something to change? 

You don’t want to spend your days reminding your family to empty the dishwasher. Or grumbling about the trash because no one took it out and the garbage truck just rolled by.

So, what happens if you do nothing now? Where will you be in 3 months, 6 months, a year? The same overwhelmed place? Or knowing that tasks are being taken care of by everyone in the house. And it’s not on you to remind them! Now, you feel like you have time to do something for yourself. To play games with your kids, to travel, to do all the fun things you desire.

You can continue to feel resentful, exhausted, and overwhelmed.

Or, you can

  • Share the mental load with your family! Because it’s not all on you!
  • Start spending your days focusing on the right tasks. Getting things done that need to happen. And having time for fun and yourself.
  • Spend your evening with your family or out on a date with your partner (or even by yourself!). Feeling accomplished from the day. Feeling free from guilt!
  • Have routines and systems that move you closer to your goals and keep those daily tasks from piling up. (Groceries are ordered. Laundry is dealt with. Emails are processed.)
  • Know that your work projects are getting done on time!
  • Be proactive in your days – getting ahead of those tasks that used to pile up and cause stress. No more! You are ahead of the game now!
