#20: Radical Rest, Real Confidence: A Self-Care Ritual for Women Who Pour Into Everyone But Themselves

Welcome back to At Your Best with Roselynn Onah! In today’s powerful season finale of our self-worth and inner validation series, we dive deep into one of the most overlooked yet essential practices of self-care: Radical Rest.


About the Guest: Kay Johnson

The incredible Kay Johnson returns to talk about the spiritual, emotional, and practical dimensions of rest—especially for women who constantly give to others and forget to care for themselves.


Connect with Kay Johnson:

  • Website: www.therealkayjohnson.com
  • Instagram, YouTube, Facebook: @thereal_kayjohnson
  • Coaching, mastermind group, coloring book info available on her site.


What We Talk About:

  • Why rest is a revolutionary act in today’s hustle culture
  • How “grinding” is not sustainable—and why we must shift toward living from grace, not depletion
  • The difference between escape and restoration—and why both have value
  • Why high-achieving women often feel guilty about rest and how to overcome it
  • How to set healthy boundaries and say “no” without guilt
  • Why energy has a budget—and how to spend yours wisely
  • How rest can actually multiply your impact and creativity
  • Embracing rest even when it brings anxiety or guilt—and why that’s part of the process


🔑 Key Takeaways:

  • Rest isn’t laziness. It’s leadership. It helps us recalibrate and show up whole.
  • We are multipliers by nature. Without boundaries, we multiply burnout.
  • Saying no is a complete sentence.
  • Time and energy are sacred resources—budget them with intention.
  • Rest is not a reward for productivity. It’s a reminder that you are enough.


🛠️Kay’s Practical Tips for Reclaiming Rest:

  • Build daily rest rituals, not just seasonal breaks
  • Know your non-negotiables and stick to them
  • Honor your emotions instead of pushing through them
  • Understand your “why” behind rest—it creates sustainability
  • Redefine trust as “the ability to rely without fear of deception”


Resources Mentioned:

  • Kay’s book: The Confident Girls Coloring Book (art therapy meets faith!) - Available on Amazon or Get her book from the link below: https://pay.theeconfidentgirls.club/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAadhCtn-VMRt0enaNzk2zsQrnhFAURxjBihCZwsbdiOc_sl0UfuURgVNRfoxVw_aem_0A9G0HJA7nRJ5QsTSJ854w
  • Upcoming healing and achievement-focused community by Roselynn
  • Weekly prayer calls with Kay (Mondays & Fridays at 6AM)
  • Suicide Prevention: https://www.iasp.info/suicidalthoughts/


Final Thought from Roselynn:

“Rest is not a reward for proving yourself. It’s a reminder that you are enough—even when you’re doing nothing.”

Welcome back to At Your Best with Roselynn Onah! Have you ever been told to "tone it down," "be more agreeable," or "know your place"? If that resonates, this episode is for you.

In this empowering conversation, Roselynn is joined once again by returning guest Lynda Carmouche — therapist, speaker, and wellness strategist—to unpack the complexities of taking up space in professional settings without shrinking, apologizing, or losing authenticity.


Together, they explore:

  • What it truly means to "take up space" at work.

  • The harmful effects of dishonoring your true self to fit in.
  • Steps for building unshakeable self-confidence.
  • How to speak up in high-stakes environments.
  • The power of journaling and integrating your accomplishments across all areas of life.
  • Ways to recognize unsupportive colleagues—even those who might look like you—and protect your mental well-being.

#15: When Work Feels Unsafe: Understanding Workplace PTSD and the Black Woman Experience

Welcome back to At Your Best with Roselynn Onah! In this powerful and deeply resonant episode, Roselynn Onah sits down once again with licensed clinical social worker Lynda Carmouche to unpack a topic that affects countless professionals but is rarely discussed openly: workplace PTSD.

Focusing particularly on the experiences of Black women, women of color, and marginalized individuals, this conversation dives into the emotional and psychological toll of toxic workplaces.


From personal stories to professional insights, Roselynn and Lynda explore:

  • What workplace PTSD is and how it manifests in high-functioning professionals.
  • The impact of microaggressions, gaslighting, and emotional harm.
  • The danger of over-identifying with your job.
  • The importance of boundaries, self-worth, and emotional safety at work.
  • Practical strategies for healing, advocating for yourself, and knowing when it’s time to move on.


About the Guest: Lynda Carmouche

Lynda Carmouche, LCSW is a licensed clinical social worker, therapist, strategist, and the host of The Elephant Room podcast. With a passion for mental health, workplace healing, and social justice, Linda empowers clients—especially women of color—to reclaim their voice and emotional safety in spaces that often silence them.

Drawing from her own lived experiences and professional expertise, she supports individuals in setting boundaries, understanding trauma, and navigating toxic work environments with clarity and strength.


Connect with Lynda:

  • Website: https://www.lyndacarmouche.com/
  • Instagram: @lyndacarmouche


Key Takeaways:

  • PTSD is real—even in workplaces: Emotional harm at work can lead to long-lasting psychological effects that go far beyond “stress.”
  • Confidence is often weaponized: For Black and brown professionals, especially women, confidence can be misread as aggression or arrogance.
  • Boundaries are essential: Learning to communicate your worth and needs can shift the dynamic in harmful workplaces.
  • Evaluations aren’t everything: Remember that your leader’s opinion is not the full truth—know your own value and keep track of your accomplishments.
  • Healing is necessary: Don’t carry trauma from one job to the next. Seek professional help and give yourself the grace to heal.


Tools & Tips Mentioned:

  • Write weekly “wins” to your manager to document performance.
  • Evaluate yourself alongside formal reviews.
  • Prioritize yourself: take your PTO, set clear boundaries, and avoid over-identifying with your job.
  • Seek out trauma-informed therapy before jumping into a new job.

Why close friends might not always be the safest space for deep emotions.

Learning how to “test” for safe connections before vulnerability.

Navigating social anxiety and identity in digital spaces.

Can AI help us feel emotionally supported? Where does it fall short?

Setting boundaries with grace and mutual consent.


Key Takeaways:

  • Emotional safety means more than being nice—it’s about mutual respect, space, and choice.
  • "Safe people" are discovered through patterns, not promises.
  • Your feelings need a container—not every person is built to hold what you’re going through.
  • Tech tools can assist—but only humans offer embodied understanding.
  • Attachment awareness leads to healthier, more vibrant communities.

At Your Best With Roselynn Onah
#10: What are the psychological impacts of loneliness, and how can individuals struggling with social anxiety take the first step toward connection?

Welcome back to the podcast! In today’s episode, we dive deep into the psychological roots of social anxiety and the journey toward connection and identity transformation.

Whether you’re feeling isolated in a crowd or navigating the quiet ache of loneliness, this conversation offers empathy, insight, and practical ways to begin shifting your inner narrative—one small step at a time.


Guest Spotlight:

Miranda Campbell

We’re joined by our therapist-in-residence for the month, Miranda Campbell. Miranda is a licensed trauma therapist, speaker, and co-author of the best-selling workbook Attachment Style Makeover.

Her clinical work centers around attachment-based therapy for high-functioning adults navigating burnout, boundary-setting, and identity shifts—especially those breaking generational cycles and caring for others. Miranda blends soulful strategy with deep clinical insight to help people build emotional safety and redefine connection on their own terms.

In This Episode, We Talk About:


  • What social anxiety really feels like, from an attachment-based lens

  • How the lingering fear can actually be a signal that you care
  • Navigating loneliness in today’s world, from pandemic fallout to performative social media

Key Takeaways:

  • Fear isn’t always the enemy; it can mean you care about doing something well.
  • Proximity isn't the same as connection—you need spaces where you feel seen and heard.

#8: How self-reflection led to a breakthrough in your healing journey

In this deeply moving and inspiring episode of At Your Best With Roselynn Onah, Roselynn is joined by Ivy Watts, a former All-American student-athlete and Top 30 NCAA Woman of the Year finalist, who shares her powerful journey from silently battling anxiety and depression to becoming a passionate advocate for mental health.

Despite the pressure to appear perfect on the outside, Ivy opens up about the turning point that led her to therapy and ultimately to reclaiming her power through storytelling, self-care, and radical self-love. 💛

What We Talk About:

  • The moment Ivy knew it was time to get help—and how a teammate’s vulnerability changed everything.

  • The invisible weight of perfectionism and high performance, especially for women of color.

  • How therapy helped Ivy unpack years of suppressed emotion, reconnect with her worth, and start healing.

  • Why talking is more than just venting—and how a trained therapist helps reframe your story.

  • What real self-love looks like (spoiler: it’s not about being positive all the time).

  • Ivy’s favorite self-compassion rituals, including her healing bingo board and celebration practices.

  • The story behind her book You Are Worth Fighting For—a tribute to her mom, legacy, and life lessons.

  • Advice for high-achievers who look like they have it all together but are struggling inside.

Tools + Takeaways:

  • Self-love = compassion + consistency. Affirmations matter, but so does allowing yourself to feel hard emotions without shame.

  • Celebrate yourself daily. Whether it’s eating lunch or surviving a tough conversation, give yourself credit with a ritual that feels good.

  • Healing isn’t linear. There’s no timeline. Create practices before things fall apart to stay grounded on hard days.

  • Gratitude Shift: “I have to” becomes “I get to.” That small mindset shift can be game-changing on low days.

Ivy's Book:

“You Are Worth Fighting For”12 heartfelt chapters inspired by her mother’s life lessons—each filled with Ivy’s reflections on mental wellness and how to choose yourself, every single day.

#7: How to balance self-reflection with self-compassion to avoid overanalyzing painful experiences

In this episode of At Your Best with Roselynn Onah, we're talking about something so many of us struggle with—how to self-reflect without falling into a shame spiral or becoming our own worst critic.

You know what I’m talking about—those moments when you're replaying a mistake over and over again, spiraling into "why did I do that" or "what’s wrong with me?" This episode is all about finding that balance between honest self-reflection and radical self-compassion.

  • Baby steps to overcome analysis paralysis when even a grocery list feels overwhelming

#5: How to Use Self-Reflection as a Tool for Healing and Rebuilding Self-Trust.

In this episode of At Your Best With Roselynn Onah, we dive into the power of self-reflection and how it can be a game-changer in your healing journey.

Self-reflection isn’t just about looking back—it’s about learning who you truly are, recognizing your values, and making intentional choices that align with your well-being.


Meet Our Guest:

I’m joined by the incredible Tiffany Lee, a communication and brand strategist, lupus warrior, and resilience coach. Tiffany opens up about her personal journey with self-reflection, how she turned her health challenges into a source of strength, and the ways self-reflection helps rebuild self-trust after life’s toughest setbacks.


Takeaways

  • Self-reflection can be a powerful tool for healing.

  • Identifying as a 'lupus warrior' can reshape one's identity.

  • Fighting back against illness empowers personal growth.

  • Self-reflection helps rebuild trust with oneself.

  • Recognizing self-sabotaging behaviors is a significant first step.

  • Journaling can aid in uncovering deeper insights.

  • It's okay to focus on progress rather than perfection.

  • Self-reflection can happen in everyday moments.

  • Calming the mind can lead to clearer insights.

  • Embracing change can lead to new opportunities.

Note to Self:

One of the simplest yet most powerful self-reflection tools is meditation. If journaling or vision boarding feels overwhelming, start with just five minutes of guided meditation. It centers you, brings a sense of peace, and helps you tune into your thoughts and emotions. The more you practice, the more you'll recognize what feels right—and what doesn’t—in your life. You don’t need external validation to find peace. You can cultivate it within yourself.


💬 Listener Question:

Where Do I Even Start? We also tackled a powerful Reddit question from a listener struggling with self-reflection and self-sabotage. Tiffany’s advice? Start small. Observe your behaviors in the moment and make adjustments without getting stuck in why they happen. Journaling or even voice notes can help bring clarity over time.

We’d love to hear from you: 👉 How has self-reflection helped you build trust in yourself? 👉 What self-reflection practices work best for you?

#3: How to get the Sleep you need to build mental toughness?

Welcome back to At Your Best with Roselynn Onah! Can you believe we’re already at week three? This time, we’re continuing our deep dive into mental resilience, but with a focus on something we all need (and many of us struggle with): SLEEP.


This month, we’re celebrating National Sleep Week and National Sleep Day, so what better time to talk about how sleep plays a huge role in our ability to bounce back from life’s challenges? And trust me—this is personal. I get enough hours, but I sleep at the wrong times (hello, 2 AM wake-ups!). This year, I’m determined to get quality sleep at the right time.


In This Episode:


1. Why sleep is a non-negotiable for mental resilience

2. The science behind why women need more sleep (and why we rarely get it)

3. How blue light and bedtime scrolling mess with our rest

4. The power of a bedtime routine (and why discipline is key!)

5. Why you need to banish the snooze button for good

6. The 5-Second Rule trick to get out of bed without hesitation


Meet Our Guest:


We’re back in session with Dr. Ro! She’s a multilingual education leader, resilience coach, and host of Life Jack: The Resilience Podcast. Dr. Ro breaks down why sleep is essential for resilience, how to create a realistic nighttime routine, and why waking up at 4 AM might not be as bad as you think!

Your Note to Self:

✅ Set a consistent bedtime routine (wash face, wrap hair, unwind)

✅ Shut down screens at least 30 minutes before bed

✅ If you wake up at 4 AM feeling rested, just get up!

✅ Be intentional about your time—rest is productivity too

#2: The Secret Sauce to Overcoming Adversity

Welcome back! In this episode, we’re continuing our deep dive into mental resilience—what it is, why it matters, and most importantly, how to build it. We’re talking about the three core skills that are the secret sauce to resilience:

  • Commitment – Having a strong sense of purpose to push through difficulties.
  • Control – Focusing on what you can influence and letting go of what you can’t.
  • Challenge – Seeing obstacles as opportunities for growth.


Note to Self: Embracing the Challenge

This week’s Note to Self is all about challenge—leaning into the hard stuff, making mistakes, and growing from them. Even the challenge of putting this podcast together is a learning experience, and I’m here for it!


In Session with Dr. Ronica Jacobs

We’re joined again by Dr. Ronica Jacobs, a multilingual education leader, resilience coach, and host of LifeJacked: The Resilience Podcast. She’s breaking down:

1. How to develop commitment and stay disciplined, even when distractions creep in.

2. The power of control—what you can and can’t change, and how to let go of the stress that’s weighing you down.

3. Why fear isn’t the enemy—your brain is just trying to keep you safe, and resilience is about training it to push through.

Reddit Question of the Week

This week’s anonymous question is about mental toughness—what to do when life feels overwhelming, and how to build resilience when challenges feel too big to handle. Dr. Ronica offers some powerful advice, including:

1. Stop comparing yourself to others—your path is yours.

2. Focus on one thing at a time instead of trying to fix everything at once.

3. Set realistic expectations—some deadlines are self-imposed, and it’s okay to adjust them.
