The movement of the multi hyphenate is here–and that’s good news if you’re one with plenty of passions.

Combining their diverse skill sets is one of the ways that women are defining their careers. Because why fight for a seat at the table when you can build your own?

Whether you’re a school teacher and a photographer, a podcaster and a jewelry designer, or anything in between, if your job title is strung together by hyphens, congratulations–you’re a multi hyphenate!

Read more about the multi hyphenate movement and how it’s empowering more of us to find satisfaction in our work, our way; We recommend “The Multi-Hyphen Method” by Emma Gannon.

What’s your multi hyphenated job title? Something tells us you’re a real Renaissance woman. Tell us in the comments.

Tears at work—yes or no? Or somewhere in between?

Are tears a demonstration of bravery, strength, and the willingness to be vulnerable?

Or do they give your power away?

And because tears aren’t mutually exclusive with sadness, it can make tough moments even harder: Giving bad news, receiving bad news, making a conflicted decision, overwhelm, frustration, fried nerves, not-so-constructive critique…the list goes on.

In an era where sickness, war, inequality, and injustice prevail, our hearts are laid bare on a daily basis. It’s unreasonable to pretend that life is business as usual with the overwhelming grief that hangs over our heads every day. At the end of the day, we’re only human. And that humanity is bound to spill through the cracks now and again.

Still, the question remains—are tears acceptable at work? Should they be stifled in the name of professionalism? Should women censor themselves in their emotional responses at work? Or is there too much to lose?
