In this raw and real episode of Embracing Enough, recorded on Mother’s Day, Dina Scippa—women’s leadership coach and founder of Enough Labs—dives deep into a truth too many of us are avoiding: healing can’t happen when we’re stuck on the hamster wheel of overachievement.
Dina calls out the Busy = Worthiness trap so many women fall into, especially those of us in purpose-driven work where burnout is practically glorified. From her globe-trotting career in international development to the moment she nearly collapsed in a workshop, Dina shares personal stories and hard-earned wisdom about the cost of constant striving—and the radical power of pausing.
This episode is your permission slip to stop glorifying exhaustion and start protecting your peace. Dina breaks down:
Why your productivity does not determine your worth
How pausing and doing less actually makes you a stronger leader
The myth of “things will slow down eventually”
The steep cost of postponing your rest, healing, and joy
A bold challenge to start doing less—and reclaim your time
Whether you're hiding in your car for a moment of quiet or walking to remember who you are, this episode will meet you exactly where you are—with compassion, clarity, and a loving kick in the pants. Because rest isn't a reward. It's leadership. And it starts now.
✨ Take action: Share this episode with someone who needs the reminder. Or drop a ❤️ in the comments to show you're reclaiming your time, your energy, and your worth.
