Today, we're tackling a topic that just about every leader, including me, has struggled with: micromanaging. If you've ever thought, “It's faster if I just do it myself,” or caught yourself hovering a little too close over your team's work, you're not alone. Sometimes, micromanaging isn't as obvious as we think, but it always slows us down and keeps us stuck in the weeds. In this episode, I'll help you recognize the subtle signs that you might be micromanaging, even if you don't realize you're doing it. I'll dig into what's really behind those habits, like the fear of mistakes or feeling guilty about letting go, and share practical strategies you can start using today to move from micromanaging to truly mentoring your team. I'll also give you tools to empower your team, clarify your expectations, and provide the kind of support that grows leaders without all the second-guessing and double-checking. So if you're ready to create a high-performing team and reclaim your time as a leader, join me as we make the shift from managing every detail to building real trust and momentum in your business.

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. You'll hear about:How “being the default” at home leads to burnoutWhy men often dismiss women's household labor as “extra”What true partnership looks like without martyrdomWhy true partnership is good for men, too!And how to start unlearning the systems that keep us stuckIf 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. Spots are limited - and Kate promises a special discount for my listeners! If you're interested, fill out a ⁠form⁠ and tell them - Dina sent you!******Ready to dive deeper?

Have you ever found yourself hesitating to hire someone who seems overqualified for a role on your team? I know it can feel risky, but it can also be a huge win for your business. In this episode of the Stacking Your Team Podcast, I'm diving into the realities of hiring overqualified candidates. With more talented professionals seeking roles in small businesses, it's more important than ever to weigh both the benefits, like faster onboarding, immediate results, and built-in mentorship, and the risks, such as potential boredom, disruption, or high turnover. I'll walk you through my practical checklist to help you get to the root of a candidate's motivation during the interview process, set clear expectations from day one, and make sure you're protecting your team's morale.

Wilma Kempinga is de drijvende kracht (en dus vooraper) achter Stichting Mevrouw Meijer, die zich inzet voor goede en karaktervolle schoolgebouwen. De praktijk leerde haar dat je veel beter kunt uitgaan van bestaande schoolgebouwen om ze te transformeren, dan dat je ze sloopt en vervangt door nieuwbouw. Door inzet van jonge architecten laat ze zien dat zo'n gebouw alle toekomstige eisen en wensen aankan en daarbij zijn identiteit behoudt en zelfs versterkt. En het is nog beter voor het klimaat ook. Wilma vertelt hoe ze met de opdrachtgever, de buurt en 3 architecten, zo'n 50 mensen, een ontwerp maakt voor een gebouw. Daar komt veel creativiteit bij kijken!
