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!
