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.

In this solo episode, Dima explores the quiet exhaustion so many women live with — not from big crises, but from the constant pace of everyday life.

Laundry, work, family, commitments, and the pressure to keep going can slowly pull us away from ourselves. This episode is an honest, personal reflection on how rushing, overcommitting, and saying yes too quickly can disconnect us — and how learning to pause can bring us back.

Dima shares real-life examples from her life as a mother, professional, and coach, and introduces a simple, practical tool for pausing before reacting, overcommitting, or pushing through.

This episode is a reminder that slowing down isn’t a luxury — it’s a skill.
 And sometimes, one breath is enough to change the moment.

🎧 Listen if you’re craving more presence, clarity, and self-respect in the middle of your real life.

In this episode of The Dima Podcast, I’m joined by Moyra for an honest conversation about life after retirement — and what it really looks like to step into your “third act.”

We talk about the shift from work identity to personal identity, the many roles women carry (leader, partner, mother, daughter, friend), and what happens when you suddenly have more space… and more opportunities to say yes to.

Moyra shares what surprised her most about herself after retiring, how she’s navigating this transition in real time, and what she’s learning about boundaries, purpose, and creating a life that feels full — not just busy.

If you’re approaching retirement, in the middle of it, or simply craving a new chapter that feels more like you, this episode will meet you right where you are.

This podcast isn’t here to push you. It’s here to remind you that you’re not alone, you’re not behind, and you’re allowed to want a life that feels like yours again.

Burnout doesn’t always arrive with a crash.
 Sometimes it’s quiet. Slow. Invisible.

In this episode of The Dima Podcast, I sit down with Maia to talk about what burnout really feels like when you’re a woman who’s been holding everything together — showing up, performing, giving — while slowly losing connection to yourself.

Maia shares her deeply honest journey through burnout and into renewal:
 how her body began to whisper before it ever screamed, and
 how slowing down felt uncomfortable before it felt healing.

We talk about:

• Burnout as a wake-up call, not a failure
• What it feels like to live disconnected from your energy — and how to get it back
• The power of small, intentional shifts
• Identity beyond productivity and performance
• What alignment actually looks like in real life
• Maia’s experience inside the Align coaching journey

This conversation is for any woman who feels tired, disconnected, or quietly wondering, “Is this really how life is supposed to feel?”

Maia’s story is a reminder that healing doesn’t have to be dramatic — it can be slow, grounded, and deeply compassionate.

This first episode is a quiet beginning.

In this solo conversation, I share why I felt called to start this podcast — not as an expert with answers, but as a woman in the middle of her own transitions, asking deeper questions about pace, purpose, identity, and what it really means to live well.

We talk about:

• The feeling of “Is this it?” that so many women carry quietly
• Why slowing down isn’t about doing less, but about coming back to yourself
• The moments in life that wake us up — burnout, transitions, midlife shifts
• And how choosing presence can change the way we experience our days

This podcast is a space for honest conversations — with myself and with other women — about navigating life’s in-between seasons with more intention, clarity, and softness.

If you’re craving a life that feels more aligned, more grounded, and more you — you’re in the right place.
