“Feeling Worthy While Doing Less” - with Katya Libin
In Episode 101 of the Thoughts from the Couch podcast, host Justine Carino, a psychotherapist and anxiety treatment specialist, sits down with Katya Libin, founder, mentor, and embodiment facilitator for a powerful conversation about redefining success, releasing perfectionism, and leading with more softness and alignment.
Katya shares the story behind building Hey Mama, a nationwide community for moms in business, and what it really looked like behind the scenes: the nonstop work cycle, blurred boundaries, and the pressure to keep proving herself.
Together, Katya and Justine explore how motherhood can amplify ambition and guilt, why so many high-achieving women tie their worth to productivity, and how perfectionism often acts as a “false sense of control” when fear and uncertainty are high.
The episode then shifts into Katya’s personal evolution and the creation of Jadeva, a spiritual business community for conscious women who want both depth and growth without burnout. Katya breaks down what it means to lead from presence instead of pressure, how spirituality informs her decisions as a founder, and why community is often the missing piece that makes receiving, rest, and expansion feel safe.
