    Welcome to Season 6 of the Embracing Enough podcast! This season, we’re diving headfirst into confidence and leadership in the workplace—because let’s be real, navigating leadership as a woman (or anyone outside the straight, white male default) comes with a whole set of exhausting double standards. In this episode, we’re tackling something huge: success. More specifically, we’re unpacking why the traditional definition of success—titles, promotions, money, and external validation—often leaves us feeling like we’re still not enough. Dina gets personal, sharing how she climbed the career ladder, checked all the right boxes, and still felt unfulfilled. Sound familiar? Here’s what you’ll walk away with:✅ Why society’s definition of success feels like a never-ending chase.✅ The mindset shift that will help you define success for yourself.✅ How to pivot in your career—not because you failed, but because you outgrew the version of success handed to you. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the things and still wondering, Is this it?, this episode is your permission slip to redefine success on your terms. 🔥 Hit play and let’s get into it. 🎧✨ ****** Ready to dive deeper?If you’re ready to stop chasing someone else’s definition of success and start creating your own, you don’t have to do it alone.

    100. What I'm really AFRAID of

    It's the 100th episode! In this episode, we focus on something I know I’ve been struggling with and I know so many women who I speak to struggle with – and it’s being a people pleaser. And here’s the thing: people pleasing started early on as a child, can get worse in adolescence when we're fighting for that need to belong, and can way out of control if we let it linger too long in adulthood. While for so many of us, it's what we rely on best to survive; the more time goes on, the greater this pattern takes shape in your life and takes you further and further away from developing a relationship with yourself. For many of us, people-pleasing is such an ingrained pattern that we don’t even realize we’re doing it. But in order to break up with people pleasing, you have to first get honest with yourself as to how you've been choosing this. Listen in on the 4 reflections I have about what people pleasing actually creates and how to move away from it - one step at a time.

    97. Peeling Back the Layers of What it "REALLY" has Looked Like to be a Disrupter

    In this final episode of Season 4, I go in and peel back the layers on what it has really felt like to be a disrupter this year. I let you into the not-so-glamorous parts of full-time entrepreneurship, navigating my own interpretations of success and failure, and giving myself grace for charting my own path in a way I never have before. In this episode, I hope you walk away feeling both inspired and empowered to get messy in 2024 and to more importantly celebrate the effort that you put into the things you want. Because in the end, that is what matters way more than the GOAL itself. This is a vulnerable episode for me - but I only thought it fair to give you a peek inside of the sometimes dark underbelly of being a disrupter - and while still in the midst of the lows, it's all still beautiful.
