Candidly Caffeinated by Hannah Moyer

We've come to the last episode of this mini-series! I hope this helped you feel less alone during a time none of us expected in February.  On this episode, I speak with marketer Erin Fred on burnout, supporting local businesses, what we've learned from our therapists, and how different personality types process current events. Note: This was recorded in June, so some information regarding shutdowns may not be accurate. And, get your information from the CDC, not this podcast, as much as I'm grateful for you listening. :) Connect with Erin on Instagram. Connect with me on Instagram & Twitter.

I'm excited to share this next episode of the COVID mini-series, this time covering the service of human connection with Josh and Oxley, who are both Starbucks store managers. (Oxley and I met when she was my store manager back in Nashville!) We cover burnout in their roles as store managers, staying active in the midst of changing guidelines, and how we're each supporting our mental health during this time. Josh and Oxley are also the hosts of their own movie re-watch podcast, Lights, Camera, Retraction, that you can check out here.  Let's connect on Instagram and Twitter.

I'm excited to bring you this episode on burnout guilt with Akvile DeFazio, owner of Akvertise, a social advertising agency! We discuss parenting during COVID and self-care practices along with a dose of how we've been working with clients to pivot as needed during the near-constant changes the last few months have brought.

This week I'm continuing my series based on what a friend has dubbed, “burnout guilt”, or feeling guilty over the ability to BE burned out because you’re still able to work right now. In the second episode of this series, I'm continuing the conversation on burnout, guilt, and processing living in a pandemic with Jessica Grande, Community Manager at Nashville Software School and Creator of IASPOY, a movement for creatives. We discuss how the last few months have gone for Nashville, Jessica's transition to remote work right after getting hired, balancing side projects with self-care, and... what it's like to have your kitten go viral.

Hi, it’s me, Hannah, your long lost podcast host. Yep, I disappeared for a while. Since December, I’ve felt like I haven’t had anything new to say. I’ve been exploring other projects, focusing on taking a step back to build relationships, and processing living in a pandemic, which brings us to our topic of today’s episode. Last week I put out a highly scientific poll on Instagram to discover how many other people were experiencing what a friend has dubbed, “burnout guilt”. This is feeling guilty over the ability to BE burned out because you’re still able to work right now. 88% said yes. The answers to why people were or weren’t feeling burnout guilt were compelling. And, that brought an idea. I’d host conversations with people across industries and opinions on burnout, guilt, and processing living in a pandemic. So here we are. I’ve had conversations with radio hosts, architectural designers, Starbucks store managers, and fellow marketers. I’m excited to share the conversations, and hope that, wherever you are on the burnout guilt spectrum, that it brings you a taste of the community we all need right now. My first conversation is with Josh Evans, who is the afternoon host and production director at The River, a radio station in Columbus, Ohio. He’s also a husband and dad to a toddler while taking seminary classes. So when I saw that he answered “no” on my poll, I reached out to hear more. Surely he was feeling burned out, right?? And he had a really well thought out response to why he wasn’t experiencing burnout guilt. And that’s why we’re here. To have conversations about what it means for different people in different situations. Connect with Josh on Twitter & Instagram. Connect with me on Twitter & Instagram.

While the Enneagram is a trendy topic and there are some amusing memes about each type, it’s time to reclaim the focus to what it was intended to be: a way to discover how we operate and how we can improve while supporting others based on their type’s needs. But it’s not enough to stop at learning our natural instincts. We need to focus on how we can grow, both personally and professionally, though the Enneagram without losing focus on our unique creative selves. It’s a tough integration, but I know we can do it.

Waiting for perceived perfection doesn’t let you wrestle with your ideas and how to share them because we learn best through experience. When you launch before it’s “perfect”, you have an opportunity to figure out a process, discover the format that works best, and refine the message you want to share.

Creativity may not have an off switch, but working with it does. You don’t need to create 24/7. We all need those nights where we switch our brains off and decompress from weeks of using our creativity for others. Don’t abuse your creativity. It will serve you well, but you need to let it breathe. Connect on Instagram: www.instagram.com/hjmoyer Connect on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hjmoyer

We live in a world dominated by success and ambition. These qualities are perceived as necessary if you want to get to the top of an industry, and ambition is certainly a beneficial quality.

In that moment, I didn’t want the dream to die. But it had to in order to let a new one take shape. The one that brought me to California and gave me a vision for what my career could become. A world with your brave voice, even if it’s quiet at first, is a world we need. Your perspective is essential. Remember that. The death of a dream isn’t the end. It’s a transition that we need to embrace and fully live through in order to achieve the next one. Let's connect: www.instagram.com/hjmoyer www.twitter.com/hjmoyer
