In this episode of Embracing Enough, we’re digging into a truth too many women know but rarely name: what’s happening at home doesn’t stay at home.
The mental load, the invisible labor, the pressure to be everything for everyone—it doesn’t just live in the kitchen or the carpool lane. It bleeds into how we lead, how we love, and how we measure our own worth.
This week, Dina is joined by author Kate Mangino, whose book Equal Partners: Improving Gender Equality at Home offers both a wake-up call and a blueprint for change. Together, they explore how perfectionism and people-pleasing are deeply rooted in the way we’re taught to care—and overcare—for others. And how it can hold us back from leading authentically.

If you've ever wondered why “doing it all” feels so exhausting—it’s because it is. This conversation will help you name it, question it, and start to shift it.
Kate also shares about a very exciting new workshop being held later in 2025 called MOVE Your Marriage: a 1.5 Day“WeTreat” for dual career couples. It’s a first of its kind workshop to tackle some of the most pressing issues couples face when juggling career, kids, and money.
