    Season Finale: Episode 11: Navigating Rest — Reclaiming Your Right to Pause

    Let’s talk about something we say we want but rarely give ourselves: rest. Real, guilt-free, don’t-touch-my-calendar kind of rest. If you're a multi-hyphenate who’s been living on caffeine, creativity, and calendar invites you need this episode.  In Episode 11 of Confessions of a Multi-Hyphenate, we’re breaking down why rest is more than just sleep or a spa day. It’s a radical act of self-respect, especially in a world that constantly tells you to hustle harder. 5 Creative Strategies to Embrace Rest: Define what rest actually looks like for YOU – Not what IG says it should be.Schedule rest like you schedule work – Block it off and protect it.Create a pre-rest ritual – Wind down with intention to shift your mindset.Audit your current rest habits – Identify what’s actually restorative.Practice active rest – Explore movement, art, nature, or other quiet joy-giving practices.Quote of the Week: “Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees... is by no means a waste of time.” — Sojourner Truth Multi-Hyphenate Move of the Week: Pick ONE type of rest (physical, creative, social, emotional, etc.) and block 30–60 minutes for it this week. 📓 Bonus: Journal how you felt before and after. What changed?

    10. When the Hustle Starts Hurting — Navigating Burnout as a Multi-Hyphenate

    You ever feel like you're doing all the things... and none of them are giving you life anymore? You might be in burnout and not even realize it.  In this episode of Confessions of a Multi-Hyphenate, we’re diving into what burnout actually looks like (hint: it’s not always just being tired), why it hits multi-hyphenates especially hard, and how you can start building a life that includes rest on purpose—not just when you crash. 5 Burnout-Busting Strategies: Name It + Normalize It – Burnout isn’t weakness; it’s a signal.Micro-Rest Moments – Small breaks throughout the day = big energy shifts.“No Work” Zones – Create spaces where productivity isn’t allowed.Reconnect with Joy – Do something just because it feels good (not for the ‘gram).Ask for Help – Your worth isn’t measured by how much you carry alone.Quote of the Week: “You can’t be hesitant about who you are.” — Viola Davis (Because burnout makes us forget ourselves, and rest helps us remember.) Multi-Hyphenate Move of the Week: Block off TWO hours this week for intentional, non-negotiable rest. Protect it like your next big deadline and don’t use it to get ahead. Use it to come back to yourself.

    9. Navigating Mental Wellness and Therapy — For Real This Time

    Let’s normalize checking in on your mind the same way you check in on your calendar. If your brain is running a mile a minute, your emotions feel all over the place, or you’ve been putting therapy on the “someday” list, this episode is for you.  In Episode 9 of Confessions of a Multi-Hyphenate, we’re unpacking what it looks like to care for your mental wellness; intentionally, creatively, and without shame. As multi-hyphenates, our minds are constantly juggling projects, people, and passion. And that means we need tools that support our inner world just as much as our outer hustle. I’m sharing part of my own therapy journey, the lessons I’ve learned (and re-learned), and how mental wellness is not a one-and-done thing—it’s a lifelong rhythm. 5 Practical Strategies for Supporting Your Mental Wellness: Check-In Like You Mean It – Pause daily to ask: How am I, really? Let honesty lead.Use Movement as Medicine – Walks, stretching, or dance breaks help shift your energy.Normalize Non-Emergency Therapy – You don’t have to be in crisis to go. Therapy is maintenance, not a last resort.Schedule Rest Like You Schedule Work – Put it on your calendar and protect it.Try Digital Detox Moments – Unplug to reconnect with your own thoughts and feelings.Quote of the Week: “Mental health needs a great deal of attention. It’s the final taboo and it needs to be faced and dealt with.” — Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Multi-Hyphenate Move of the Week: Choose one mental wellness activity to schedule this week. This could be therapy, journaling, a solo walk, rest, or a quiet reset. Challenge: Don’t cancel it. Don’t move it. Keep that appointment—with yourself. Your mental health is not a side project—it’s the core of everything you’re building. Give it the same attention you give your next launch, your next gig, or your next idea. Because the real glow-up? Starts in your mind.

    8. Who Let Me In Here?! Navigating Imposter Syndrome

    Episode 8: Who Let Me In Here?! Navigating Imposter Syndrome Ever find yourself in a room or on a stage or scrolling through your own feed like… “Who let me in here?” Yep—welcome to the world of imposter syndrome, where self-doubt tries to convince you that you don’t belong. In this episode of Confessions of a Multi-Hyphenate, we’re unpacking what imposter syndrome looks like (especially for folks juggling multiple passions and titles), why it shows up, and how to shut it all the way down. Because let’s be clear—you didn’t stumble into your greatness. You earned it.  5 practical strategies to navigate imposter syndrome: Name it when it shows upKeep a “receipts” folder of wins & kind wordsLean into your support systemStop waiting to feel 100% “ready”Embrace the awkwardness of growthQuote of the Week: “I had to believe in who I was and what I was doing. If I didn’t, why would anyone else?” — Issa Rae Multi-Hyphenate Move of the Week: Write down 3 things you’re proud of—big or small. Then speak them out loud. Repeat after me: “I deserve to be here.” Imposter syndrome isn’t just about insecurity—it’s about internalized pressure, perfectionism, and the fear of being “found out.” For multi-hyphenates, it can be even more intense. Why? Because we often wear many hats and take unconventional paths. It can leave us wondering if we really belong.

    7. Beyond the Spa Day: Navigating Self-Care as a Multi-Hyphenate

    Episode 7: Beyond the Spa Day: Navigating Self-Care as a Multi-Hyphenate In this episode, we’ll talk about how to incorporate true self-care into your routine, especially as a multi-hyphenate. It’s easy to forget about your own needs when you're juggling multiple roles and responsibilities. But we’ve got to be intentional about taking care of ourselves—because if we don’t put ourselves at the top of the to-do list, no one else will. Whether it's making space for creative play, disconnecting from digital noise, or simply prioritizing rest, self-care isn’t just about pampering—it’s about building a routine that fuels your productivity and well-being. 5 practical tips to practice real self-care: 1. Redefine What Counts as Self-Care 2. Build Energy-Giving Routines 3. Schedule Regular Intentional Breaks 4. Create Boundaries Around Your Time 5. Engage in No-Obligation Socializing Quote: "Self-care is not a luxury; it is a necessity." – Audre Lorde Multi-Hyphenate Move of the Week: This week, let’s implement a Digital Detox strategy. Dedicate at least one hour of your day to being completely offline—no emails, no social media, just time for yourself. Use this time to recharge, reflect, or simply enjoy being present. You'll be amazed at how much more refreshed you feel after disconnecting. Try starting in the morning if you normally scroll before getting out of bed.  Self-care isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s about finding what works best for you and your life. Whether it’s through mindful mornings, taking breaks, or just getting away from screens, it’s time to start putting yourself at the top of your to-do list. Thank you for tuning in today!

    5. Who’s Checking on You? Navigating Accountability

    Episode 5: Who’s Checking on You? Navigating Accountability Through Community & Professional Groups Let’s be honest—sometimes being a multi-hyphenate feels like you’re flying solo at all times, wearing every hat, and hoping nothing drops. But here’s the truth: you can’t hold yourself accountable to everything, all the time, all by yourself.  In this episode of Confessions of a Multi-Hyphenate, we’re diving into the power of community and accountability—why it matters, how it helps, and what it actually looks like when done right. Because guess what? You don’t need to do it all alone. 5 practical tips for navigating accountability and finding your people: 1. Find your accountability type 2. Join a community that fits your vibe 3. Be honest about what you need 4. Give what you want to receive 5. Make it fun, not forceful Benefits of Accountability Groups from Shalyce Tyson @shalycetyson -  “When I gather with my accountability group, I get the fuel, the ideas and the motivation to keep going - personally and professionally. We laugh. We hype each other up. We share tips. We are transparent. We congratulate one another. And we hold each other accountable to achieving the goals we share within the group. It's support in action and we all need and desire support. So the biggest benefit for me is knowing I have people in my corner who I can reach out to, and then being able to be a source of support and accountability for them, too. - Shalyce Tyson @shalycetyson  Quote: "You can only fool reality until the truth comes knocking at your door." — Michael B. Jordan Multi-Hyphenate Move of the Week: Make a list of 3 people or communities you can reach out to for accountability. Then choose ONE and make a move this week—send a DM, set up a check-in, or join that group you’ve been side-eyeing for weeks. This episode is your reminder that real growth requires real accountability. Let’s stop pretending we’ve got it all handled and start building the kind of support systems that help us grow—on purpose.
