If I had 90 Minutes with You....

The Courage to Be Yourself: Burnout, Healing & Coming Home to You

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, I sit down with Sasha, a therapist whose work centers around healing, alignment, and the courage to be yourself. We explore what it really means to return to who you are: beyond the roles, the expectations, and the version of you that learned how to perform, achieve, and please. Because for many of us, somewhere along the way, being ourselves stopped feeling safe… so we adapted. Together, we talk about: *  Why becoming your true self requires courage and effort  *  How patterns like people-pleasing, perfectionism, and control are formed  *  What’s really happening during burnout and why it can be a turning point  *  The role of breath, stillness, and slowing down in reconnecting to yourself  *  Why self-love is not just a feeling but a daily practice and a choice  *  The “two wolves” story and how your life reflects what you feed most  *  How to take your first steps back to yourself when you feel disconnected  This episode is a reminder that burnout, fear, and discomfort are not the end of your story. They can be the beginning of your return. If you’ve been feeling disconnected, exhausted, or like you’ve lost yourself somewhere along the way… this conversation is for you. 🎙️ Listen now and start reconnecting to who you truly are.

When Doing More Isn’t the Answer

In this episode of The Dima Podcast, I’m joined by Dana for a conversation about something many high-achieving women quietly experience: the pressure to always hold everything together. For years, many of us learned that being productive, organized, and successful was the way to feel safe. We became the responsible ones. The performers. The ones who get everything done. But what happens when the constant doing stops working? In this conversation, Dana shares a powerful perspective on over-functioning, perfectionism, and how these patterns can sometimes be rooted in early experiences where achievement became a way to create safety. We talk about:  • why slowing down can feel uncomfortable or even unsafe  • the hidden cost of always being the one who performs  • how burnout can become a turning point  • and what it looks like to begin reconnecting with yourself beyond roles and expectations If you’ve ever felt like you need to keep doing more to keep everything together, this conversation will resonate deeply. 🎧 Listen now and join the conversation.

From Performance to Presence with Karinne

In this episode, I sit down with Karinne for a conversation about the quiet shifts many women experience when life looks successful on the outside, but something deeper no longer feels aligned. Karinne shares her journey from a fast-paced, high-achieving life into a more grounded and meaningful path shaped by grief, healing, nervous system support, Reiki, yoga, and deep inner listening. We talk about burnout, the signs the body gives us before it screams, and the courage it takes to slow down and choose a different way of living. This conversation is for the woman who feels the pull toward change but cannot fully name it yet. The woman who is tired of performing, tired of pushing, and ready to reconnect with herself in a softer, more honest way. We talk about: * what misalignment can look like even when life appears “fine” * the body’s signals before burnout * grief as a turning point * how small rituals can reconnect us to ourselves * what Reiki and nervous system support can offer * redefining success through alignment, joy, and self-love If you’ve been hearing a quiet whisper within you, this episode is an invitation to pause and listen.

If I had 90 Minutes with You....

Sometimes nothing is wrong — but something doesn’t feel quite right. In this solo episode, I share how I would guide a conversation if we had 90 minutes together to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what’s really going on beneath the surface. This is not about big life changes or having all the answers. It’s a gentle invitation to slow down, notice what feels heavy, and consider one small step forward. A short, reflective episode to listen to when you need a moment to reset.

A Short Reflection from a Sunday Brunch

In this short episode, I’m sharing a recap of a brunch I hosted for women last Sunday — and what unfolded around the table. It wasn’t really about brunch.  It was about what happens when women are given space to slow down, reflect, and speak honestly — away from the constant to-do list and the noise of everyday life. I share a few personal observations from the room: women opening up, supporting one another, quiet nods of recognition, and the collective realization that many of us are craving the same things — more space, more presence, and more room to breathe. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or quietly wondering for more in this season of your life, this episode is for you.
