Over 50 & Flourishing with Dominique Sachse

In today’s episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I’m joined by entrepreneur, philanthropist, and nonprofit founder Mandi Brown-Hayley for a deeply moving conversation about the life-changing experience that reshaped her family’s future.
Just one month after finalizing her divorce, Mandi found herself facing an unimaginable loss while simultaneously helping her children navigate grief, confusion, and difficult questions no parent is ever prepared to answer. Together, we discuss what it was like to live alongside mental health struggles within a marriage, the difficult decision to leave after years of trying to make it work, and the tools that helped her family find healing during one of the darkest seasons of their lives.
Mandi also shares how that profound loss ultimately led her to discover a greater purpose. Inspired by the support she received from family, friends, her faith, and counseling, she founded The Loved Ones Left Behind, an organization dedicated to helping families facing similar circumstances. Through financial assistance, resources, and compassionate support, the foundation helps families navigate overwhelming moments, find hope, and begin rebuilding their lives.
If you or someone you know is in distress or experiencing a mental health crisis, immediate help is available. You can quickly connect with free, confidential support by calling or texting 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Weight loss changes more than your body. It can change how you see yourself, how others treat you, and the story you tell yourself every day. In today’s episode, I'm joined once again by registered dietitian, life coach, and Wellness Cottage co-founder Kim Lovely to talk about the emotional side of weight loss that so many women experience but rarely discuss.
From body dysmorphia and identity shifts to navigating comments from others and adjusting to life after GLP-1s, Kim shares powerful insights on how to care for your mind as your body changes.

In today’s episode of Over 50 and Flourishing, Courtney returns to give us updates on her weight loss journey.
After losing nearly 90 pounds, Courtney opens up about the side of weight loss nobody talks about. From body dysmorphia and self-image to the unexpected ways people treat her differently, she shares the emotional reality of life after reaching her goal. Together, we discuss GLP-1s, maintaining healthy habits, and why the mental transformation can be just as challenging as the physical one.

In Part 1 of this deeply personal conversation, Vic and I share the private health journey we’ve been walking through over the past year. A journey that challenged us emotionally, spiritually, and personally in ways we never expected. We talk about the uncertainty of not having answers, the emotional toll of navigating difficult news, the role faith played in carrying us through, and how this season ultimately brought us even closer together. After much prayer and consideration, we finally felt ready to open up about what we’ve been experiencing behind the scenes.
