Have you ever felt like your body was working against you? In today’s episode, I’m sharing my personal hormonal journey from IVF and postpartum depression to hypothyroidism and eventually perimenopause. I’m connecting the dots between the symptoms I experienced at different stages of my life, what I wish I had recognized sooner, and why becoming your own health advocate matters. Because you know your body better than anyone, and you should never feel like you have to simply suffer through the symptoms. Have a question for Dominique?

This week, I’m joined by Barbara Bradley Baekgaard, co-founder of Vera Bradley, to hear the story behind the brand and the woman who helped build it. What started as a simple observation at an airport would become one of America’s most beloved lifestyle brands. In 1982, Barbara Bradley Baekgaard and her friend and business partner Patricia Miller noticed that every piece of luggage looked the same: boring, black, and bland. That moment sparked the idea for Vera Bradley, built on the belief that color could change how you feel. Together, we talk about entrepreneurship, ambition, motherhood, success, and the lessons Barbara learned along the way. It’s an insightful conversation about what it really takes to build something lasting, and what can happen when your dream changes your life in ways you never expected.

There’s no shortage of wellness advice these days, but how do you know what’s actually worth your time and money? From menopause supplements to skincare, hair growth, creatine, collagen, and everything in between, it can be hard to separate science from savvy marketing. This week, I’m joined by Shanley Chien, Senior Editor of Health at U.S. News & World Report. With a background in medical research, Shanley specializes in turning complex clinical data into practical, easy-to-understand health advice. She leads the publication’s healthy aging coverage, including its 2025 Healthy Aging Survey, and helps identify the top over-the-counter health products based on expert recommendations, not social media trends. Together, we break down what actually works, which wellness products are worth buying, and how to cut through the marketing hype so you can make more informed decisions for your health. Whether you're wondering if creatine is right for you, which drugstore skincare brands dermatologists trust, or if menopause supplements are truly worth the investment, this conversation will help you shop smarter and focus on what really supports healthy aging.

In this episode, I'm joined by intuitive drinking coach Colleen Freeland for a conversation about the emotional reasons so many women turn to alcohol. We talk about why drinking has become so normalized, how wine can quietly become a coping mechanism, the connection between loneliness, stress, and overdrinking, and why true change isn't about willpower; it's about understanding what's really driving the habit. If you've ever questioned your relationship with alcohol or felt stuck in patterns you can't seem to break, this conversation offers a different perspective.

In this special birthday episode, I sit down with Vic to celebrate his 64th birthday, complete with Star Trek costumes and a birthday cupcake. We also have an honest & heartfelt conversation about health, aging, and what really matters as we get older. Vic gives a full health update, and we talk candidly about the emotional weight of turning 64, the identity struggles that come with aging, and why our worth was never meant to be tied to our careers, our bodies, or what we can still do. With humor, vulnerability, faith, and a whole lot of love, Vic and I reflect on the season we're in and what he's dedicating his next year to. Have a question for Dominique?
