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:

1. Name It + Normalize It – Burnout isn’t weakness; it’s a signal.
2. Micro-Rest Moments – Small breaks throughout the day = big energy shifts.
3. “No Work” Zones – Create spaces where productivity isn’t allowed.
4. Reconnect with Joy – Do something just because it feels good (not for the ‘gram).
5. 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.

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:

1. Check-In Like You Mean It – Pause daily to ask: How am I, really? Let honesty lead.
2. Use Movement as Medicine – Walks, stretching, or dance breaks help shift your energy.
3. Normalize Non-Emergency Therapy – You don’t have to be in crisis to go. Therapy is maintenance, not a last resort.
4. Schedule Rest Like You Schedule Work – Put it on your calendar and protect it.
5. 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.

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:

1. Name it when it shows up
2. Keep a “receipts” folder of wins & kind words
3. Lean into your support system
4. Stop waiting to feel 100% “ready”
5. Embrace the awkwardness of growth

Quote 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.
