OLYMPIC VALLEY, CA—Amy Galvin, CEO of Luxury Living, kicked off an afternoon panel at the GlobeSt Women of Influence conference held at the Everline Resort & Spa. She addressed the challenge of balancing the mental and emotional responsibilities of home life while striving for professional success, emphasizing her advocacy for the Fair Play Method.

"The Fair Play Method is an operational system that fosters equity and engagement between partners at home," Galvin explained. "It enables couples to collaboratively and fairly divide domestic responsibilities. By implementing this method, both partners can carve out necessary time and space for themselves."

Passionate about women's equality, Galvin asserted that achieving equity at home directly translates to equity in the workplace. "Women cannot pursue ambitious careers or make significant strides if they are burdened and exhausted by domestic duties," she emphasized. "This imbalance contributes to burnout and adds to the mental load we carry into our professional lives. It's essential to prioritize our well-being and avoid running on empty."
