[@alyssam3197]

I know you've gone through a lot, but I wanted you to know how much you inspire me every time I watch one of your videos. You just exude positivity, class, and perseverance. You let us into your life enough to know what's going on, but you don't air out every emotion on the internet, and I think that takes a lot of strength when you have the platform and audience to do so. Instead, you maintain a very strong demeanor and presence and I admire that very much. Thank you for showing everyone how to present ones self with humble elegance and pride. Love your videos. Love your personality. Keep it up!

[@dominiquesachsetv]

Thank you for saying that. I appreciate it

[@sxd29]

Well said!!! Exactly my thoughts…..As I go through my own life challenges and transitions similar to you, I look up to you as a “humble, elegant, confident, humane” person of reference. Much love ❤️

[@virginiamercun9597]

I couldn't agree more. Dominique have been the light from the lighthouse for me in helping me to turn around my life in ways that I just didn't know how to. When you see that there is someone that is going through similar situations and thinks it through it makes the problem less to tackle and more to handle. I have been tuning into Dominique's videos almost from the beginning and I am so very thankful that she developed a platform for us to speak about what we women really put attention to and worry us sometimes whether it be relationships, how you perceive yourself and how to look better while facing these challenges and changes. Her book has been a light-bulb moment in many chapters as I read through it.

[@donnabutler9791]

My exact thoughts! Dominique is such a classy lady, even through difficult times

[@okitopie]

I subscribe your words.

[@MsGraciemacie]

I cannot believe Audrey is 87!!! WOW!!! I thought she was in her early 70’s. She looks so much younger and acts so much younger than her actual age. You Go Audrey!!! 💃🏻

[@anavaldesuso8607]

Agree with totally!! I couldn’t believe she is 87!!

[@shawntaylor5468]

Whaaa?

[@jennieoh8543]

I really hope Dominique does a Q and A with Audrey soon!!!! I would love to know her secrets, supplements, hormones, diet etc!!!

[@maryanncarmody5646]

RIGHT?!!!

[@naharmon]

Audrey is amazing! I would love to have Dominique team up with Audrey and do a Bra review for older women!! Please, Please, Please. I know I can't be the only one.

[@hfrancis66]

We are not all destined for marriage. I am approaching 60 and never married, that special connection has eluded some of us. Does not mean that we have not had painful, heartbreaking relationships. We all need a hand getting back up on that horse. Agree completely about positivity, and gratitude. Even when at your lowest find something to be grateful for, and how classy and respectful that some things remain private.

[@moniqued9316]

I love your genuine character and your gentle heart…you are a blessing to this community and this world, Dominique. Keep letting His light and love shine through you. ❤

[@LoveABun]

“Whose life are you living?” SO profound and thought-provoking, Dominique! Thank you. And thank you so much for mentioning the importance and joy of having animals in one’s life! I am 64 and a longtime animal rescuer. I would not want to live without the unconditional love and companionship I get from animals. And to those who asked about reconnecting with life as a result of pandemic isolation, if you don’t yet feel comfortable being around a lot of humans, go volunteer at an animal shelter or rescue. Just sit on the floor and “be” with homeless cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs… whatever kind of animal with which you most connect. They are OUTSTANDING listeners! And they will make you belly laugh with their silly antics. They are good for the soul! Time spent with them-and Mother Nature in general-can be extremely impactful, rewarding… even educational. And who knows… you may come home with the best “mate” you’ve ever had in your life! 😉❤️

[@tht8916]

Great advice!!

[@roxydus3746]

2 years ago I was just a shadow of myself. Then a cat came to my life. This little amazing creature helped me regaining myself again … so: agree 100% ❤

[@marsalgo2320]

I love your suggestion! I never had dogs growing up...at 42 I got 2 poodles and they have been such a beautiful addition to our family...they are so sweet, loveable, fun, funny and the unconditional love they provide is just a blessing!🐾❤️🐾🐩🐾❤️

[@kristinek2916]

Rescues are the best 🐾🐾. They save our lives as we save theirs 💙

[@sarahmanfra899]

Dear Dominique, I've watched you from the beginning. I was devastated when you shared that your marriage ended. I cried for you. Even though I am older than you, I looked at you as my mentor. Here we are, over a year ago when your life changed. I'm so pleased to see you smile and enjoying your new journey. You look beautiful and happy. We have all experienced challenges. I'm a cancer survivor and thank God above for all the blessings in my life; and there are many. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I'm internally greatful for your guidedance and your kindness. Love and light, Sarah from Boston🙏❤☀😘

[@vickiefinney6073]

Praise God for your victory over cancer. That awful disease took my beautiful sister in law and mother in law a year apart. Praying God keeps you healthy 🙏❤️

[@sarahmanfra899]

Dear Vicky, My sincere condolences on the loss of your sister and mother-in-law from this dreaded desease. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't thank God for being cancer free. I still am terrified that it will rear it's ugly head. It's been 10 years. Please be diligent in check ups. If you even think something is wrong you get yourself to the doctors and get a mammogram. Be your own healthcare advocate! I will add you to my prayer list. We are so lucky to live in a day and age where science has improved in detecting problems at the get go. Please take good care of you! ~Sarah~

[@leslieb.6612]

You mention prayer, embracing new phases in life, gratitude, and seeing dark times as a season in life. As I go through cancer treatments, this rings so true! Thank you for speaking to us on such a personal level.

[@kimberleysander1086]

Gosh, this was wonderful! I laughed, got tears in my eyes, and felt better about life afterward. You are so inspiring - especially when talking about your faith. Life can kick you right in the chops…we can wallow in it all, or we can pick up the pieces, learn from it, be grateful, and find a better way for ourselves. You are such a great example of how to shine in spite of it all. I just love you to pieces, and I thank you. ❤

[@PeachesSkinCare]

I am almost 57 and I love pro aging. I have allowed my grey hair sparkle, I do absolutely nothing invasive to my face and I feel amazing. I also had to stop HRT because I had cancer concerns and health issues. I just started eating well ( plant based) and intermittently fasting. I exercise regularly and I feel the best I ever have. Be happy! Give back to others and continue to grow. Also surround yourself with good people. 🍑🙌🏻🧡Lisa

[@rebeccayoung1833]

I agree, swallowing mouthfuls of hormones isn't going to change everything. I agree you can feel your best with proper nutrition and exercise. And a terrific mindset.

[@makeuplessonsforjoy7168]

I am 55 and have gone plant based too I feel amazing

[@lynnnelson6689]

@@BelCantoLari Nah.

[@PeachesSkinCare]

@@lynnnelson6689 love all of this. I wish women would understand they the moment they start fillers and changing their faces, they actually appear older. We need to love and accept ourselves. Thank you for being kind. Have a remarkable day Lynn🍑🙌🏻🧡Lisa

[@PeachesSkinCare]

@@rebeccayoung1833 agree🧡 at least for me! I have found as I as that each day is a gift. I won’t be drawn into the fear of aging, worrying I don’t have enough money or things. Just live in the moment. Blessings Rebecca 🍑🙌🏻🧡Lisa

[@debbietaylor5579]

Dominique, Thank you for such a fun hour of girl talk. I felt like I was sitting cross legged in the chair in front of you. You’ve got this lady!!

[@annehedlund7333]

I felt it also

[@margotdenger1485]

Ditto here…down to earth girl talk at the end of the day.

[@gsddiva75]

Ditto! Hugs for 2023!🎉

[@JChandler6416]

Thank you so much for affirming my decisions to have a backbone and to end toxic friendships and relationships at the end of 2022. It made me so uneasy, but the thought of going into another year unhappy and suffering for the sake of others wasn't going to cut it. The beginning of 2023 has been somber and even lonely, but you reminded me the other side of this positive decision is just around the corner.

[@patrizia1029]

I like how you come across now...meaning after your career shift and your personal relationship and living situation shift. You seem so much more honest, approachable and ultimately free. That is so attractive, appealing and inspiring. Every time we see someone be the way we want to be, it gives us permission to do and be it ourselves. i know we shouldn't wait for someone else to be 'the first' but it doesn't hurt to have positive examples to draw from. i also like the casual style you are displaying. I am an actor... in Hollywood so I am always having to 'doll myself up' for work or auditions or just for meetings and when I am not in any of those situations I love wearing my yoga gear, put my hair in a ponytail and just wear sunscreen and some lip gloss and that's it. Let's make the best of 2023, no matter what comes with it or what its thrown at us form the outside. I believe we still have control over our mind, our focus and our inner life and Heart so here we go....

[@Nike2030]

She came across just fine before 🙄

[@Reillygirl]

Great video - I’m 70 and feel 48. As my Mom told us to “think young and keep moving”. You seem happy and moving forward with your life in a very positive way. Life in the present and be open is my attitude.

[@theotherkangaroo]

I admire your willingness to be asked questions & your graceful way of answering the questions while maintaining your dignity & privacy. 💗

[@ShelleB]

I’m surprised that people asked her why her marriage came apart. That’s no one’s business and I wouldn’t dream of asking someone that, even someone I know well. People always amaze me…….😱

[@heatherhodson9757]

So many things I love about this video but my favorites are how close you and your mom are, that you shoot and edit your own videos, and your positivity! Thank you! 💝

[@barbaracollins5605]

I'm 69 and no kids not married. Love my life helping animals but today diagnosed with severe arthritis so wont be able to help them as much. You helped me realizing just take one day at a time.

[@kcsunnyone]

Sorry to hear your marriage is ending. That’s a big life change. Mine ended about 25 years ago with three small children and we all survived. I never remarried and I’ve been single for 25 years now.

[@melissaferguson9448]

Thank you for always being so authentically you, Dominique. I’m a 33 yo Scottish woman who aspires to be the type of woman you absolutely are: graceful, classy, and beautiful inside & out! Your content is so wholesome and I really appreciate you taking the time to put such effort into each and every video you produce.

[@Nellsmum22]

The look on your face when you said how much you love your new apartment was wonderful, even life affirming. Having watched you for years, through good times & grotty ones, that moment made me see that your joie de vivre was alive & well. I have always been a day at a time girl & keep a happiness tin that I fill with notes about anything that has made me happy or contented in a day; on NYE it's very interesting to look back at the year, most of the notes are about nature & also the little things in life that I believe are actually the big ones. Wishing you a positive 2023.

[@kmayonaka1436]

I do the same thing on NYE! It’s a wonderful ritual. 😊

[@kathleenbrocker4911]

I really like how you deal with anxiety by praying and doing things that get you out of your head at the moment. That is key to peace. Thank you and God bless you.

[@zebralove2840]

I was happy to hear you say you don't feel pressure to be married again. That seems healthy. I also think it will resonate with many that home ownership is not the be-all-end-all. Happy that you are happy with your retirement, and that your mom is doing well.

[@elisaastorino2881]

I inherited a house and I can't wait to get rid of it. I'm single and 60 so to me, it's just a burden in many ways, especially financial. Home ownership is vastly overrated.

[@jjkatz]

I’m single and much happier than when I was married

[@jessicacalder4459]

Thank you Dominique for opening up about so much in a classy manner. That is what drew me to you three years ago- your classy style yes- but more so , your way of presenting yourself & your honesty. We love your videos & hope you have the best year ever. P.S. The sun setting as you filmed this seems so perfect. Beautiful.

[@dominiquesachsetv]

That's sweet of you to say.. thank you!

[@nea_and_leah_knits]

Dear Dominique, watching your videos feels like being with a dear, wise friend. Thank you for being brave enough to share your faith and to be authentically you. You give me hope that it is possible to grow old with grace and to still look good in your 50s and beyond. I am now 43. Love from South Africa. (By the way,I think you would love an African safari! There is something about an African sunset that is just indescribable.)

[@martydavis325]

I feel like I just had girl time with a dear friend! You are so open and honest with your answers and it’s so appreciated. Sometimes it has to be hard as you go thru your own issues but there is no doubt that you were meant to do this! You’ve covered topics and given food for thought that makes a difference. You radiate positivity and yet keep it honest and real. I’ve been on your channel for awhile now and I always receive something from watching you. I hope 2023 brings you continued contentment in your life. You do look happy!

[@taraasadorian5760]

Hi Dominique. I loved your answer to the question about anxiety and how you remedy that. You replied "pray." I recite the Lord's prayer over and over, along with deep breathing, and at times when I'm feeling extremely stressed I'll hold my Bible close to my heart, and recite the Lord's prayer. I try to do that every night when I go to bed, but more often than not I fall asleep before I finish 😄. It always always calms me down. God Bless you in the new year. 🙏❤

[@annenorthman8154]

This was one of your best videos. You're so no-nonsense and genuine. Appreciate ya!

[@karenwade6713]

I too have been through 2 divorces and you're right, no matter what the circumstance they are painful. I also had a 5 year relationship end last year this time, we never married. I was so down, it was more painful than my divorces. I reconnected with a friend from high school this past May by divine intervention 🙂and we are very much in love . Who would've thought and he helped me find my first Jeep also! I love it so much, it makes me happy to drive it. I say all that to say life has a way of working out even when you think it won't. I turn 57 today and this is the happiest I have been in a very long time. Love your content and all that you bring to your subscribers. Many blessings to you.💚

[@GriffithsJacqueline]

Thank you so much for your candid talk about your personal life, I feel privileged to have heard these words from you. I've been feeling a bit low lately & I'm determined Not to succumb to Depression again. I need to listen to your honest & practical advice through telling your life history. I love your approach, the best one is 'Taking one day at a time'. That's such a good one & also you talk about the love of a dog. I have two toy poodles, they are a huge part of my life, their unconditional love is so pure. I love them so much & they bring me joy. You've mentioned so many good points & I need to start looking after myself & take your advice. Thank you so much for sharing your personal thoughts, you've given me the kick in the backside I needed. You're a lovely lady, You deserve All good wishes for 2023. God Bless you & yours. 💖🇬🇧

[@ester9484]

You’ve always been so inspiring to me. I discovered you when you had about 200K followers and now you have almost 2M! I’m not American, so I didn’t know you at all but, from the first time a saw you, I loved your honesty, and your way of talking to us, as a good and thoughtful friend. You are still the same. Thank you for this lovely chat 😘❤️

[@ChereeLS]

This q&a was absolutely beautiful. So many parts, you challenged me: how to conduct myself in the workplace and not isolate, not isolating or sitting on the sidelines of life, giving others (& myself) grace, as well as other helpful things you shared. I can relate to what you said about the perfectionism and how that affected other areas and relationships you had and how you had to kind of retrain yourself about how you do authentic, loving relationships. It hit my heart. Dominique, I pray that this year is a year that God floods your heart to overflowing with all of your generosity and care that you have given others. Thank you for sharing 😊❤🙏

[@deliciouslyme6206]

Dearest Dominique. Firstly, I want to thank you for making my life richer and more comforting for being here. I look to you as an older sister (only 5 years difference to be precise! ). You always make me feel better. I'd just like to say that I'm so happy that you are in such a different place in this video than one of last year, which saddened me at the time, but I know is all part of life. Nevertheless it's wonderful to see you happy and omg when you said you were dating someone I nearly fell off my chair! hahaha. Sooooo, sooo happy for you and lucky guy! Lots of love xx

[@moniquemckenna6795]

Long ago I read “ A reason, A season A Lifetime” I think everyone should have this at hand, it totally made sense when changes happened with people around me. It is very powerful! Thank you Dominique for you reflection, your honesty and your ability to hold onto your integrity when it came to answering questions. You have the grace that we all seek. 💕

[@nitasolis9235]

I am still in contact with my son's first wife. They were high school sweethearts, he was head over heels from day one. She wasn't so much. He joined the Army, eventually went SF, which meant 6 month deployments every year. She wanted kids, he didn't want to be an absent father. They ended up divorced, but friendly. She remarried and has 3 kids! Beautiful kids! He remarried, and they have none and won't. My reasoning is that they wanted different things from life. Unfortunately, they found out too late that they wanted different things. I would no sooner expect her to give up her dreams of life than I would him. So they split, amicably, and are still friendly to each other. She has a new husband and three kids that are her life. She's a great mom! He has a new wife and the freedom to pick up and go when they want! Win/win in my mind. It's sad that a love story didn't work out, but splitting and going after your dreams is sooooo much healthier than sticking it out for public opinion.

[@gemgem3570]

This is not just a regular Q&A. It’s a sincere inspirational and motivational video I will watch again. Thank you Dominique❤

[@madamplant]

So will I.

[@lisaawild]

Yes! I just had to say thank you for telling people you're thankful for your dog. So many people in our area (Houston Tx) seem to think pets are disposable "things" they get rid of in various manners, most of which are terrible for said pet. People when you take a pet into your care, they are a commitment for the life of the pet. Thank you.

[@janicesanders8631]

Dominique, I have followed you for a couple of years and I really enjoy your channel and this episode was really special. I am a few years older than you and still work full time and sometimes after a long day at work I am exhausted. I like how you emphasize the importance of healthy eating, proper skin care and exercise even at times when one is really tired. This is going to be my goal in the New Year. I really look forward to your Thursday messages!

[@catholicpeaces6257]

Dominique, you are forever a class act. You are a mentor for us all as you remind us to embrace our femininity, poise, faith and mature outlook. May 2023 be wonderful for us all!

[@flowerpower2656]

I agree. She’s fun to watch.

[@elenapizzarello9344]

You make me happy! I watched this intently. I loved most of the questions and I think you touched on one of mine about growing your hair out and the future color of it. The way you handle intrusive questions is remarkable. You handled them with dignity, grace and respect, but first and foremost, respect to yourself, keeping in mind that there are other people in the equation, and they don't deserve to be treated without grace and respect. Anyone who tunes in to you each week as I do, knows that you've gone through a life change and at this point it should stay at that. You inspire me and there are things you say and how you express yourself that make me smile because we are very similar. You carry yourself with no ego and that is who I am. As far as narcissists and friendships who no longer serve you, well, that tapped right into my life. I've had friendships that no longer served me (one of them being a narcissist when I was a teenager), and I removed myself. By the way, we happen to love the same music (I'm a huge George Michael fan and still mourn his passing). Perhaps I see many similarities when watching you because I am 56, turning 57 next month and I am proud of how far I've come. I, too, have one child, a daughter who will be 18 at the end of this month, and I couldn't agree more with what you laid out about parenting. My slogan has always been that there is no instruction manual, but the things that I wanted from my own parents, I will now impart to my own child. Thank you, Dominique, for the most inspiring video. I love all of them, but this one told me so much more and reached me more in so very many ways. Much respect and love from this fan! Thank you! Elena

[@rebeccaear11]

It’s wonderful to see you get so excited talking about your Mother. You two appear to have a very special bond. Very blessed.

[@MysticLandho]

Just switched to you halfway through Norah O’Donnell’s 30 minute interview of an expert on emotions, author of endless books saying the same thing.feeling blah’d and disinterested. 5 minutes with you here and…we are live! Thank you for providing real depth, substance, compassionate can-do! 💐

[@Laureegi]

Dominique, your video truly touched my heart on so many levels. ♥ I love what you shared about perfectionism because I think I've struggled with this all of my life trying to live up to what my family, husband, and even friends expected from me and not once, stopping to say, what do I want to do and why can't I just simply be myself, mistakes, wrong turns, and all! I've had quite a year too, with my best friend dying suddenly and my dear mother passing away as well, plus in 2021, my husband passed away and my younger brother, so the heartaches just keep coming but I pray to God that I can find self acceptance and know that things will get better one day at a time. Thank you so much for many of your heartfelt and honest answers to questions that many of us wonder about in our own lives.....you are a beautiful lady and may you have a blessed and very happy and healthy 2023.

Will do! Thanks so much..

[@elizabethtumminelli7538]

Many have thanked you and shared their stories relating to your journey. I might be a bit tardy in watching your Q&A however, I believe God is in control and places you where and when for your good and growth,and, that’s exactly how I feel. I relate to so much of what you’ve shared and how you’ve CHOSEN to use it for good, exactly what God intended. It’s been many years for me. Years of pain, love, joy, forgiving, praying, being Still, surrendering control (whew that’s a biggie) and now I’m happy to say, I’m enjoying the blessings God has placed in my life and I understand it ALL comes from Him. Learning what I needed to learn to get to this place of joy through the storms and continued growth is the goal- inner peace. I want to say to you Miss Dominique, you shine. Your growth and inner peace shows and His light shines through you!!! I’m hooked on your channel lol I thank you for your love of people, your grace and poise through the muck, your transparency and I pray you continue on Gods path with courage, strength, joy and discernment and that you continue to lead by example, It’s the only way through the heartbreak and hurt and to use our testimony to help others. Blessings, Liz from Long Island, NY. (A yankee with a southern heart lol) ❤🙏

Thank You Dominique for sharing some of your life updates with us, I totally enjoyed listening to you, you’ve been through a lot over the years by the sounds of it and you’ve definitely come out on the other side a better person who can tackle just about anything life throws at you, I have to say that your Mum is Wonderful for her age, she’s the same age as my Mum who has early stages of Dementia and she’s ready to go into a nursing home (her decision) for the past 12 months I’ve been her only caregiver and doing everything for her, showering her, cooking her meals so that I know she’s eating healthy, taking her to Drs appointments, you name it, I’ve been doing it, all for her and in the process, Getting Abused and She’s So Ungrateful for everything I do for her, Your Very Blessed to have an independent Mumma, I wouldn’t know what that’s like. Audrey is a Doll and a Very Special Lady, Hang Onto That. Happy New Year to You, Styles and Audrey, Wishing You All a Wonderful 2023.

Positivity is a choice. I love your focus on gratitude! Seek what is that you have and celebrate it!!

[@sheilarachal886]

I love that you are loyal to those who are and are not in your life. You don’t feel the need to share your everything and i honor that. I would love to hear how you knew it was time to make a change in your life. I think those decisions are so hard considering your son and others who might be hurt. I think we all have a process to make hard decisions but often put them off for a long time. We don’t need to know why you made the decision but how you knew it was time. If that is not too personal. I do appreciate your sincerity and openness to share so many aspects of your life. I have learned so much from your videos! ❤

[@dominiquesachsetv]

Thank you.. I believe God speaks to us at certain times in our lives, and it's more than a calling, but an urging.

[@mjfriday2143]

I love listening to you. It's like listening to a good friend. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

[@terryhutchings7701]

Late to this video, but going through some major life changes right now. 66, widowed for 10 years and totally disappointed with the whole dating pool right now. So, selling my house this Spring and moving to France for a minimum of one year. I love your outlook on life. You are never too old to reinvent yourself!

[@utahjewels1]

I just turned 68. Was single and dated a lot for 15 years. In 2021, met Mr. Right through a dating sight and we married last August. Keep trying!

[@shelleybrandon2825]

"IN the Day Thinking" is probably the most pertinent mode of thinking I can imagine. So applicable to any phase of life and never heard it til now...my new mantra. BRAVA!

[@lindadupuis1531]

Dominique, I can relate to you on so many levels. I love your transparency yet maintaining privacy all in the right ways. You’re an amazing role model for women of all ages. How did you meet your new man? You should do a video on that. I’ve been single for 11 yrs and am open to meeting someone as a companion. I’m 64 and am financially self sufficient but miss having someone in my life.

[@dominiquesachsetv]

Someone I met many, many years ago who reached out when he heard about my life changes.

[@angelacruz3779]

I am inspired by you and how you are honest with your imperfections and hurt but still have grace and positivity. God is blessing us with your love and honesty.

[@dominiquesachsetv]

Thank you! 😊

[@teresadonohue2665]

I really admire what you said about your reason for leaving your job, that you believe in truth in journalism and not opinion journalism. I respect you for taking a stand for your belief in honesty and truth.

[@Bsquared7317]

I was in the same place at 55 - very into myself and my world and my family around me as well as my work. Now that I am 65 I am starting to look to circumstances of others in the world around me and looking for a way that I can use my talents to help make things better for others.

[@curlygirl7503]

I love your hair when it is in a bob. It is amazing all the things you can do with your hair.

[@billieprizio7074]

This segment revealed the true Domenique - a determined, smart, and most importantly, supremely spiritual woman. Your philosophy of life is the role model, I, too share. Wishing you and your family good health and the happiness you so richly deserve.

[@lovesakitas]

Thank you for this! I’m 70 (a young 70!). I’d love to at least share what I found out about my skin (autoimmune) because what I did from age 50-60 was unhelpful for my body, skin, immunity etc. But at my present age I’m “re-coupling” my health and relationships. You are helping me so much. Thank you.

[@zohrehdaly]

OMG, I needed this. You're just such a positive soul. Your advice and wisdom has helped me in my career and at home. Thank you. Please keep doing what you are doing!

[@mariolinaboccamazzo753]

I love your communication approach, you always convey crucial concepts with calm, warmth and clarity Happy New Year and big hug from Italy 🤗🤗

[@dominiquesachsetv]

Happy new year! Thanks for your kind note..

[@syl1382]

Love your LOVE for GOD! When you said God inspires you I literally got tears in my eyes! Love you girl! ❤️You’re so articulate and well spoken! The comment of journalism and you believing in true journalism and truth telling, balance and presenting both sides is very well said! 👏👏 It’s sad what we hear now with one sided journalism. You definitely stayed true to yourself and your beliefs! 💖Hope you have an awesome 2023! ❤️

[@Melissa-sr6jy]

I too got teary-eyed when I heard you say that God inspires you. Thank you for your videos. They always give me so much hope.

[@ledonwissner2200]

Good Sunday, Dominique! Hope you made it through the scary rains and tornadoes last night. Here to say "Houston & the world LOVES & appreciates you." Wishing you, your son & mom a wonderfully, blessed 2023. Huge Houston Hugs, LeDon xx

[@marew.8766]

My Mom is in an assisted living facility. Best thing she did! She is very active at 82 and has a boyfriend. They are like teenagers and I love it!! Audrey is so fun!

[@juliemycock648]

Hi Dominique, once again thank you for the Q & A video. I'm 63 years of age and just getting the hang of growing a backbone. I have a very close family member who has been sucking the life out of me for quite a few years, hence I started suffering anxiety, acid reflux, not sleeping until one day after a particular argument I said no more. Things are not perfect with the situation but I feel more in control. So thank you for your words of encouragement on that subject because I felt and have been made to feel very guilty, as you say who's life am I living. I've also re evaluated friendships too. Thank you Dominique, if I was given a choice of being able to meet one person, just one, it would be yourself. Kind regards Julie from England 🇬🇧 x💕

[@numbernine3436]

💯 on apartment living. I sold my home 4 yrs ago, thought I'd move into an apartment temporarily. I realized I love it. There are so many options for temporarily changing the interior, so many videos with great ideas.

[@ozzyolof9209]

I love how honest you are and the way you respect other people 💕

[@candyclews4047]

Such a helpful tip Dominique - "what can I do today?" - rather than looking at the longterm, which always seems overwhelming.

[@StillPointJourneywithMarla]

I so loved this Q n A video! I have wanted to do KZbin videos myself but have been scared a little. Scared that I will sound silly or not make sense. You are really unfurling and it's an honor to be on the journey with you. Blessings and Love.

[@LoveABun]

Ceron is PHENOMENAL!! He has always given you the very best looks. The way he not only styles your hair, but how he mixes colors in your hair is breathtakingly AMAZING. He is a TRUE ARTIST! If he were my stylist, I would not go to anyone else!

[@Deelitee]

I *also* think Dominique knows what she wants, what looks good on her and what to ask for! I think ppl take those things for granted, but I don’t have those things! lol so, I end up frustrated, but it’s in part my fault bc I need to know what to ask for!! Dominique takes ownership of her style. Just had to give a shout out to her for that bc it’s a huge element of that relationship with a stylist! ❤❤

[@janal.3361]

Sorry I disagree that Ceron is a phenomenal hairdresser. He gave Audrey "hot roots" (means brighter then the ends) and spaghetti like highlights in one of the videos. He didn't think it through and was probably full of himself to correct it. :(

[@Deelitee]

@@janal.3361 hey! So, can you give me advice on that? If you ask the stylist to correct a problem with color, should they do that at no cost? And what if they put you off for a month or more to do so??

[@janal.3361]

@@Deelitee If the color is pretty, but you don't like it on you, the hairdresser usually tells you to sleep on it and come back in a week or so. You might actually like it as you get used to it. But if there is something wrong with the color, then the colorist should fix it right then. You can tone the hair etc. Audrey's roots were "hot" (red) and the highlights were over bleached. Ceron should have corrected the roots with another color to counteract the red and tone the highlights so they don't look like spaghetti.

[@Deelitee]

@@janal.3361 it’s too brassy. He’s done it before too! :| he canceled on me to fix it bc he was sick and is just now able to see me. It was originally done in October!

[@janetjinkens9636]

I loved this so much that I will watch again. Thank you Dominique for being the person you are.

[@sk.n.9302]

I was just bulldozed by my narcissistic sister & by chance, I listened to this video, pls know it lifted my spirits & helped me feel stronger.

[@priscillanegrete8945]

I don't remember when I started watching u but it was when u were doing skin care and hair styles. I ALWAYS thought u were a beautiful lady. I came out of an abusive relationship so watching u made me think how I could do things for myself for myself. FATHER GOD brought me through and when u were asked the question WHO INSPIRES YOU" u said GOD. I could see the Honesty in that. HE inspires me too. Your videos haven't been showing up on my phone so I was surprised this one did today. Thank u for being GENUINE.. there's beauty that goes deep about u. A woman of God

[@debbieanderson6740]

Thank you for the encouragement! Love the backdrop of the sun going down in Houston. And thank you for sharing your life. The ups and downs. Can't wait to see Miss Audrey's place. She is one of a kind!

[@annaniquity6419]

Loved this. Knowing what you've really been going through (via friends) makes this special. You have strength, courage, dignity, without sharing your deep hurt, betrayal and vulnerability is a huge credit to you xxx love who you are and what you are doing. Truly believe 2023 is going to be your year xx

[@lancomeist]

Just watched this this morning I just wanted to say a massive "Thank You". Like you I have had a challenging 2022 and you always give me the encouragement to keep calm and carry on....You help people more than you know. God bless!

I agree with you Dominique 100% communication is the key for any relationship whether its parent/ spouse any relationship. It solves 1000 problems

You are a very strong lady, despite the obvious personal challenges you have faced! You are an inspiration 😍

[@jackiesumner2129]

Absolutely loved watching this video, even my husband stopped watching the TV to watch! You truly inspire me and I love your honesty. I take so much from your content and want to thank you x

[@tanniaayala9828]

What a great and informative video. Thank you for your honesty and transparency. I just turned 50 and I am going through the changes, and I can say that I relate to everything you talked about!!! You inspired me to make some healthy changes for myself. I started to just feel numb and complacent with my bad habits although it was making me miserable. It’s just going through menopause plays games with your mind and moods. Especially the weight gain discourages you from having a life outside your home because you feel self conscious and insecure. Thank you for the tips, you also confirmed the HRT is good. I started with that in 2022 prior to that I wasn’t so convinced so I wasn’t too discipline with them. I am now because I have a better doctor. This video will be shared with my sisters and girlfriends who are going through the changes as well!! I love your channel ❤❤😊

[@billierfunk338]

I appreciate your honesty and respect for others when you share. Aging has been a process and trying to stay in gratitude for all I have. Covid changed so much for all of us and it’s been difficult to try to stay active outside of the home. Friends just recently contacted Covid in a restaurant and visiting in a rehab. Makes us a little more cautious.😢

[@jan7828]

What a wonderful setting for your Q and A. Watching the sun set and the lights on your deck, just great! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. Wishing you much joy in your life

Coconut oil can cause break outs for some people. Best moisturizer for anybody is beef tallow! It won't cause breakouts and you can use it anywhere. I make my own foot cream with it. Add essential oils to make it smell great!

[@elizas4370]

Happy New Year Dominique! I love your channel. I have been watching for about 2 years now. 2022 was a big year for me: I started my own business at age 49. Your strength and openness to change are things I look up to. You are very good in interior decorating.

[@maurinphillips9293]

Thank you for both being transparent and answering questions and also gracefully declining to answer what you did not want to share. Both are inspiring and a good template we can use for ourselves. I know I will as I set boundaries for myself to continue creating a life I would want to repeat. Sending you prayers that blessings continue to overflow your plate this year.

[@oliviaacosta6239]

You are my age and you look amazing. Thank you for sharing your private life. We all go through things and we all get stronger. I like the way I turned out and glad to say I’m enjoying life even when my life is chaotic. I’m still married and my husband and I are stronger than ever. Marriage is never easy and sometimes it takes a lot of work. We have two adult children, one of them is struggling with life and it has challenged our marriage. I just hope we can survive this. You are an inspiration to all of us. You are beautiful inside and out. Keep making videos to inspire us

[@Candleflower42]

I haven’t listened yet but see discussions Re HRT. Because of this channel I asked to have my levels checked - had been on it 8 years and no one ever checked it, since I bled with the dose this doc gave me I cut in half no more bleeding so thought ok. When I asked my PCP for a level she didn’t want to, said it was the standard dose. I insisted and estrogen came back near 500 testosterone way high too. When I asked her about it she got irritated and said “of course it’s high, you’re supplementing!” I got a second opinion from a NP and she shook her head and said she’s never seen an estrogen level that high in a woman my age, 69. She took me off it and said she wants it under 100 and prefers around 60. Told her it’s a good thing I listen to this KZbin channel or I’d never had known she said oh you would have eventually you would have been in trouble, meaning cancer. But how can one doc never check, the other also be nonchalant and say to continue and this NP have such a different opinion? I do think it’s protected my bones for the past 7 years (broke femur 27 months ago and repeat of DEXA after 7 years showed no change) but I’m going with the NP and staying off.

[@inessaeremenko3902]

Hi, Dominique! I glad that I found your channel. When I feel tired and pessimistic I start watching your videos. I get charged with your positivity and your energy right away. Thanks a lot for all your inspiring videos. I wish you and your family all the best in 2023!

I needed to listen from a positive person today. I chose positivity every day. I don't have another choice. I'm my own support system, and sometimes my float gates let 1 tear or 2 out. I'm alive and healthy. What a blessing 🙌 Thank you, Dominique. I so appreciate listening to your advice and videos. 💐

[@sreddy9889]

Dear Dominique, you don't know me but I remember you from my med school days back in Houston 2 decades ago. I remembered coming home exhausted and unsettled from school and on rare occasion turning the tv on to hope to fall asleep and seeing your bright and calming presence and noticing your beauty as well. I thought you were a rising star back then but wouldn't have known more than 2 decades later that your star is really rising now...I wish you all the happiness and recovery in the world. I know what it means to have feelings of anxiety and trauma from an external source or situation that you could never imagine you would find yourself in. Thank you for validating feelings that you shouldn't stay in settings that dont serve you (for pure minded people). Gentle hug for a pure minded woman. Be safe and well...Ps go wear a white shirt and eat pasta at Grottos or La Griglia and get it on you shirt (like I would ;)) and enjoy the imperfection of days savoring life..:)
