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:

1. Define what rest actually looks like for YOU – Not what IG says it should be.
2. Schedule rest like you schedule work – Block it off and protect it.
3. Create a pre-rest ritual – Wind down with intention to shift your mindset.
4. Audit your current rest habits – Identify what’s actually restorative.
5. 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?
