How We’re Entering 2026 With Less Pressure and More Purpose
1/05/2026 | 1h 2 mins.
In this New Year episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I’m taking time to pause, reflect, and step intentionally into what a new year can mean at midlife. Using insights from a community poll, I share what you told me you’re feeling as we enter 2026, your hopes, your hesitations, your goals around health, peace, faith, and personal growth, and I reflect honestly on where I find myself in this season of life as well. From strength and wellness, to faith, purpose, boundaries, and letting go of stress and negative self-talk, this conversation is about real life, real bodies, and real growth.In this episode, we cover:The difference between New Year’s resolutions and intentions, and why the shift mattersWhat midlife women say they want more of (and less of) in the year aheadWhy health, strength, and peace are top priorities at this stage of lifeHonest conversations around weight, wellness trends, and sustainabilityThe role of faith, purpose, and reflection in personal growthHow to plan for change without adding stress or pressureWhy grace, flexibility, and self-compassion are essential for lasting progressWhat it really means to reset at midlife: emotionally, physically, and spirituallyHave a question for Dominique?

Why You Don’t Need a “Perfect” Christmas to Have a Meaningful One
12/22/2025 | 1h 1 mins.
In this Christmas special, I sit down with my husband, Vic, for a warm, intimate, and meaningful conversation about the true heart of the holiday season. Together, we reflect on childhood Christmas memories, family traditions, faith, the pressure many feel around the holidays, and how our own views of Christmas have evolved as we’ve grown, blended our families, and navigated life’s changing seasons.With stories that are both tender and hilarious (including childhood Christmas mischief!), this episode brings together nostalgia, simplicity, spiritual reflection, and the reminder that the greatest gifts aren’t found under the tree, they’re found in the people we love and the moments we cherish.In this episode, we cover: The childhood traditions and Christmas memories that shaped us The pressure many feel to “recreate” perfect holidays, and why you don’t have to The gifts that truly matter and the beauty of handmade, heartfelt giving The deeper meaning of Christmas through faith and family How the holiday changes as our families grow, shift, and age Why simplicity, gratitude, and presence mean more than ever What we’re wishing for (and praying for) this ChristmasHave a question for Dominique?
