intro: being multi-passionate is kind of exhausting

invisible timelines & the myth of having it all figured out

In this episode of Tongue Tied, I’m talking about invisible timelines, social media, the pressure to have everything figured out in your twenties, progress over perfection, and why every decision somehow feels permanent when you’re 22. We get into comparison, uncertainty, and learning how to stop treating life like a race when realistically…most of us are just improvising. A little existential, a little comforting, and hopefully a reminder that you’re probably not as behind as you think you are.

intro: being multi-passionate is kind of exhausting

In this first episode of Tongue Tied, I talk about the very specific chaos of wanting to do everything at once – creative careers, too many passions, identity crises, and the pressure to “pick a lane” when every version of your life sounds interesting. This episode is part introduction, part existential spiral, and part me trying to figure out what this podcast actually is in real time. Bare with me while I get the hang of this whole thing <3 Link to Ep 1 playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7G1w37w4VUGIbaMv6DoMFn?si=PaVGWSQNTPyri4pRFT1SQQ [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7G1w37w4VUGIbaMv6DoMFn?si=PaVGWSQNTPyri4pRFT1SQQ]

Tongue Tied Trailer

A quick intro to Tongue Tied. I’m Hope, and this is basically a space where I talk through life in my twenties – music, identity, creative ambition, relationships, overthinking, and trying to figure out who you are while you’re still becoming her. I’m a first-gen creative navigating life and my career in real time, and a lot of this podcast is just honest conversations, storytelling, and using music to process the in-between moments that are sometimes hard to explain. Sometimes it’s solo, sometimes I’ll bring on friends or other creatives, but it’s all pretty unfiltered. Welcome to Tongue Tied :)
