My Birthday Episode: Triumphs, Failures and Epic Fears | Over 50 & Flourishing

[@elizabethhatch7513]

Very very good, all that was said! I’m 65 so this is all so relevant for me. I have 4 children, and one son (34) committed suicide almost 2 years ago. 8 months later my dad died. The impact of losing a child is literally indescribable. My dad had lived a good, full life. I grieve him, but grieving child is very different, and it’s a reality I live with every single day. One book which helped me more than any other was “It’s OK that you’re not OK”. I can’t praise it enough. The author Megan Levine is a therapist and experienced a sudden loss herself, so she knows. Please consider a podcast with her. Those of us who hurt like this need a voice. We’re not OK.

[@daniabarraza9443]

Happy belated Birthday!

[@susan8471]

Happiest birthday wishes to you. At age 50, after many trials and errors, I found my true love and soul mate. We have been together for 25 years now and I'm a classic example of it's never too late to find someone you can adore and trust.❤

[@SharonWilsonJauquetta]

Women NOT supporting women - I raised my daughters to never tear other women down. I also told them that when someone makes fun of you, tears you down, tries to embarrass you ,etc. they are really putting their insecurities on display for the world to see. They feel the need to tear other down so they look better but they aren't really looking better. I explained to my girls (twins by the way) they do not need to impress anyone. God made them exactly who they are and who they are inside and out is beautiful. The only person they need to impress is themselves. Women tearing others down - It frankly is very sad that these women are so insecure. Today, my girls are 37 years old - 1 is a mother of 3, 1 is a mother of 4. They homeschool their children and teach their kids to care about others. They are amazing and so much smarter than I ever was. Isn't that the goal of every parent - have your child make better decisions than you, be smarter than you, treat others better than you did? It should be.

This is part of Internalized Misogyny; how women have taken in male interpretations/conceptions and disrespect for women.

[@brooklily7150]

Well said! What a wonderful mother you are. Thank goodness for Dominique! She's exactly what KZbin needs right now, such a positive and encouraging woman. She exudes self confidence! Most people have outgrown the over spending, superficial commercials that are disguised as, "influencers"! I'm still appalled at Lisalisad1's video titled, " how not to be frumpy". She decided to insult a complete stranger on an elevator all in the name of KZbin content. Talk about a shallow individual!

[@janetjaken1389]

So beautiful!

Courtney, you were an impressive interviewer! Good job girl.

Life is always a choice. We choose to be happy, to be joyful, to be good, and be a good example to others. I wish you the fruits of the Holy Spirit in your life. A blessed year to you! Happy Birthday, Dom.❤

[@livingdoll3445]

Hi from Annie Happy Birthday have a great time, you are such an inspiration to me, your beauty and the way you present yourself is something I look up to and adore. You are very brave all that you have endured and still manage to smile even if it is just from the outside it is still a hard thing to do. Eat drink and be merry... lots of cake..... cheers.

[@janetjaken1389]

I must compliment Courtney for being so wise at a young age. What a wonderful role model you have in Dominique and it shows that you truly appreciate that. God Bless you both 💕

[@Avoid_Low_Frequency]

Oh my goodness!! I identify with your timeline. My 60’s have been the absolute reward for struggling through the decades! Even though I’ve lost my husband, I’m fulfilled, filled with joy and still considering myself the most feminine I’ve ever been. Thank you

[@novanorman1091]

This is an awesome interview! Thanks for sharing!! We just celebrated 52 years of marriage! We went to the beach and did things we used to do when we were younger. Dining in fave spots, dancing, touring and boat rides! Doing fun things was so neat! Good luck in your pursuit!

[@dominiquesachsetv]

Love love!!

[@karinodendaal5645]

Dominique, thank you so much for being real!!!

[@tasplund3397]

I love this episode for so many reasons. I did no know you did IVF. Maybe you could do an episode on IVF, Egg Donation, Sperm donation, adoption and being an older Mom. For me, I had three children by 28, but got remarried at 45 and had my 4th child at 53.I am very happy with my decision, however I don't feel like I have a community but I know they MUST be out there!

[@ellenapostolou690]

Courtney, you’re amazing with your newness and youthful knowledge of the social media world. Your are helping Dominique to be more current. In my work, before retirement, I relied on brilliant young women who were creative and experienced with technology, the social media and pop culture to help me stay up to date and relevant in the fast paced world. I can see how much Dominique values you. ❤

[@ellenapostolou352]

I’ve won?! Really?! ❤

[@Kristiehornbuckle]

Happy Birthday! I will be 56 in September. I quit my job at 51 and went back to school. My adult children are in their careers and now I need to figure out what is next. I have been married for 28 yrs. My husband has a business. Now I get to transition; you are right for I trust in God for everything. Now I go to mass often and walk a lot. Courtney is so cute FYI.Transitions are hard, but I can do it. Take care ladies.

[@amymatos8281]

Love her honesty. And yes the entire world needs more kindness

[@susanyakus7364]

Like another Susan on here, I found my soulmate when I was 57., after 2 failed marriages. That was wonderful! At 71, I am not thrilled with the age, simply because I know the clock is getting shorter for the amount of time we will be together. I do feel a few more physical challenges, as I am used to going full bore ahead all the time, and the body does start to slow down. However, I am still on the right side of the grave! LOL!

[@dianehiltz1193]

This was a beautiful podcast, you are as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside, God bless you beautiful lady.💜 I went through the same procedure and went through pretty much the same story to become a mom💜, I agree with some much of what you said and I have gone through so much of the same things.💜Thank you for speaking up about women being the first to attack women. We all need to be a little kinder, a little morning care and we need a lot more love for one another. Audrey Hepburn was the prefect example of beauty and Grace…💜 I are very much like her…💜

[@deboralove3986]

Dominique, you made me laugh so hard today. My youngest daughter had colic & we drove around at night until she fell asleep! I probably passed you on the freeway.

[@dominiquesachsetv]

Oh I’m sure! Sorry for your am drives. No fun

[@hollyjones8775]

@@dominiquesachsetv I’m same as you about spotlight being on me too as an only child I feel as though I’m bragging or being vain… I was raised that the world did not revolve around me even though I was my parents world I was not everyone else’s.

Happy birthday from a fellow woman who truly supports , you got this

[@theatester8092]

I really resonated with your point about not apologising for being yourself, and for reinforcing boundaries. I'm 52 and have struggled with this all my life. I'm now having counseling from a wonderful Counsellor and feel I'm making good progress now, and your words have encouraged me further. Happy birthday Dominique and thank you 🎉🥳🎁🎈

[@monagould1829]

Yes, Dominique you are right up there with Audrey, beautiful and classy. Courtney, you look Beautiful in that white top!

[@julietaylor3237]

You are such a positive and inspirational lady, in spite of what life has thrown at you in recent years ❤ 👏

[@tammymuren6378]

Omgoodness Dominique, I totally relate to your “ burying things in the name of peace” I have been doing that for 50 years and I too came to the realization that enough was enough and I needed to stop, speak up, stand my ground and not let people in my life hurt me or take me for granted☺️.. I have lived my life by the Golden Rule “ do unto others as you would have others do unto you” and while people/family have not usually reciprocated, I will continue to do so, but I will no longer allow them to treat me in such a manner that is not conducive to the life of positivity, kindness , empathy, compassion and truthfulness ( I do not tolerate liars 🤨) that I embrace😊.. Life is good and every birthday is a blessing🥰

[@drdawnshoptalk]

Welcome to the 56 club Dominique. And what similar paths we have taken. I took early retirement after 31 years so that I could pursue my calling, which was to pursue my consulting and coaching business full time. I have never been happier and pursued my dream of writing a book for women (The Career Woman’s Secret Playbook) and I started my podcast (with the same name). I just love knowing that another fabulous career woman is on such a similar journey.❤

[@dominiquesachsetv]

Love hearing this! You’d be a great podcast guest. Would you mind reaching out to Courtney at [e-mail]

[@drdawnshoptalk]

Excuse me while I have a fan girl moment. Lol. Absolutely. I would be honored - Courtney, expect an email ASAP!

[@sharleneseidl4573]

13:42 This has been such a bad day for me. My plate was full and after today it is spilling over, I felt drained, hopeless and totally helpless. I needed a break,so I checked you out as usual you never fail to lift my spirits. Thank you Dominique you brought a smile to my face and made me forget,I am grateful, I needed your joy de vie today. You are such a breath of fresh air. I am so happy you are feeling better. God Bless.

[@margieclark6255]

I totally get the not wanting to have a birthday party about yourself. I was thrown a surprise party when I turned 50 and it felt like I was attending my own funeral. People were there from my 50 years of life which was so fun to see them but still I felt awkward at being the focus.

[@amyt2400]

I think the idea of being the focus of a surprise party is a fear that many people have - my Dad used to always say: “Never throw me a surprise party.” I think he thought he might have a heart attack. 💔

[@debbiecs1964]

Your mom is the same age as mine. You are one year younger than me. I agree with you that every birthday is just like the year before. The only years that were challenging for me was the pressure of still being single. I got married in my 40s, and every year before that, I could feel the clock ticking. Once I met the right person that God had planned for me, I didn’t feel any more pressure. I didn’t feel the pressure of being a mom, although in my younger years, I thought I would have five children. I don’t have any children but still, I feel blessed beyond measure. I’m also an ambivert and don’t like being the center of attention but can turn it on when needed to do something in front of others.

Wonderful podcast. The two of you are very lovely ladies!

[@lflf1843]

I don't even like people saying, "Happy Birthday" to me, much less a party. I don't tell people when my birthday is and if they find out, I beg them not to say or do anything. Been like this all my life. But I love to celebrate others' birthdays -- no problem! I completely understand.

[@rplata4242]

Wow 🎯 this was a true interview. 13:00- 15:00 very beautifully transparent and so so true! Took the words out of my mouth Dominique! Wisdom from a true woman. **Courtney and all you young ladies….TAKE NOTES HUNNIES! ❤Love you Dominique!

Great Podcast. I am 60 and have gone through a career change in the last 2 years. Being true to yourself, ensuring wellbeing, living the life you want is absolutely key. If on social media you have to show the good and the bad. If not you do not you are not being authentic. Power to you.

I am an ambivert…alone time is when I recharge…being ‘on’ is exhausting. I do it everyday and I enjoy it up to a point. I love to be with people, friends…but it makes me tired. I understand totally…people think I am an extrovert…I am glad I am both…a good balance.

[@mmcs4973]

Happy Birthday, Dominique!👏👏 I absolutely get the birthday thing, tho. I'm on a break from work for a few weeks and one of my colleagues remarked "you ALWAYS do this when you have birthday" and it's true. A lovely dinner, a good friend and coming home to watch an episode of a favorite series. Sounds pathetic to some but a perfect evening for me ☘😊

[@pamsloan4333]

Fabulous as always! THANK YOU! I’m taking a class in decluttering and downsizing and it is amazing to think about how you want to be instead of trying to keep on being what you were! It’s fun to let go of the stuff and make others happy! Hope your Happy Birthday Celebration continues everyday! Keep learning from all situations and observe nature’s systems to inform and guide your decisions! Plants, animals and the geologic foundations teach us a lot! These amazing systems can inspire, motivate and provide lessons for us all! Life is tough and we are constantly being challenged so that we are preparing to get through the next phases!😄😜🤔🤫🫠🙄😍🤗❣️

Love your take on each of the decades in our lives as women. You hit the mark in a wonderful way that goes straight to the heart in just a few words. Lovely. (I came back to add that as the interview progressed, you laughed and smiled in a way I hadn't seen before today. I felt smacked with charm seeing you so relaxed and playful, and D...56 looks very very good on you. Health and peace to you in all that follows!🎂)

Happy Birthday, Dominique. I set up my own birthday celebration, I went to Pensacola, FL, and had a blast. I learned to only depend on myself and no one us. I raised 4 kids on my own and am so proud of them and what they have accomplished in their lives.

[@SarahGustafson-f8d]

Been there and have experienced very similar life challenges. Found the love of my life and life took a turn for the best! Recently I found that my best friend for over 20 years was putting a huge damper on my happiness and I painfully ended the friendship as she was always a “glass half empty” kind of attitude and highly critical of others. It was so hard and I miss her for her friendship, however I do not miss the negativity. Life is too short to not to live it with positivity. Be well and thank you for sharing your life challenges and strength.

I absolutely agree 100% with the birthday party. I’m 55, I never had a birthday party thrown for me by myself. Don’t want one, don’t need one,. I totally get not wanting to be the center of attention. On the first one to throw anyone else a party and I love it but me, no way!!! an intimate get together with close family and friends is all I need.

[@susanevanko3982]

This was fun. It’s great that you and Courtney have this fabulous corroboration and friendship! We need friends of all ages - we can learn so much from one another. I love to see women support each other. Here’s hoping this next year brings you much peace, happiness and success. Happy birthday 🎉🎂🍷

I must admit, I'm not really taking this birthday well. But as I always say, it's better than the alternative.🙂 I'm blessed to be alive & pretty healthy. I'm my mom's caregiver. She has Alzheimer's Disease. I enjoyed your last podcast about grown children caring for their parents. I could really relate to it as I'm sure many people did. I've always wanted to go back to some of my favorite childhood spots like when you mentioned roller skating & do some of those fun things again. BTW... I was a pretty darn good roller skater. I had some fancy skates with red wheels. 😊 The good 'ol days! You ladies did a great job today. Thank you for all you do for women. 🙌🙌🙌

It's also so helpful on the flip side to see how you don't spend too much time dwelling on the difficult challenges but so well balanced with always looking at the positive and the blessings that are also delt out.

That its ok to slow down...and maybe I'll learn how to do makeup and hair like Dominique someday. Thank you...thank you thank you, from this run down mommy trying to switch gears into an entrepeneurial career and leaving the hospital behind some day. I'm gonna make it... Dominique did it. So can I. I just need to START.❤️❤️

Dominique thank you for your statement “ it’s ok to walkway from negative people who cross the line, doesn’t respect boundaries. I had to do that, I lost friends, family it was hard, and shocking just being shut out by others. But I’ve settled nicely into peaceful solitude.

[@dominiquesachsetv]

Yes, very hard but often necessary. Glad you were able to do what was best for you

[@whenyourgone1994]

Happy Birthday 🎉 Dominque! You are truly a special woman! I think every woman needs to dig deep inside of them and ask what makes ME happy, smile, have joy in my life. These things don’t have to be expensive or take up alot of time. We as women forget to have fun as we grow up and all our creativity is lost, we lose ourselves trying to please others. The best gift we can give ourselves is time… time to be our authentic selves without apology. To take the time to raise ourselves up, cheer ourselves on and live our best lives. God Bless

[@dominiquesachsetv]

Amen to all the above 🙏🏼
