Over 50 & Flourishing with Dominique Sachse

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 matters
• What midlife women say they want more of (and less of) in the year ahead
• Why health, strength, and peace are top priorities at this stage of life
• Honest conversations around weight, wellness trends, and sustainability
• The role of faith, purpose, and reflection in personal growth
• How to plan for change without adding stress or pressure
• Why grace, flexibility, and self-compassion are essential for lasting progress
• What it really means to reset at midlife: emotionally, physically, and spiritually

In this special New Year's Eve episode, I sit down with my right-hand woman, Courtney, for an honest and insightful conversation reflecting on the year we’ve just lived, the highs, the hard moments, the lessons, and the unexpected growth that shaped us both. Together, we look back at what this year demanded of us, what surprised us, what stretched us, and how we’ve changed because of it.

From navigating a whirlwind year of content, community, and massive milestones, to personal transformation, bold decisions, and moments that tested us, this conversation is an open-hearted look at what it really means to evolve… especially in midlife.

In this episode, we cover:

• The big moments and milestones that defined our year
• The personal growth we didn’t expect and how it shaped us
• The behind-the-scenes realities of building a life, a business & a community
• What surprised us most, and what challenged us the most
• The boundaries, balance, and boldness we practiced (or struggled with)
• The beauty of connection, servitude, and purpose in the work we do
• The messages from YOU that moved us deeply
• What we’re letting go of (and what we’re stepping into) in the New Year

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 Christmas

In this episode, I sit down with Caroline Baudino, the woman behind Shop With Caroline and a voice many women connect with.

From her early years around Univision to the intense world of Spanish soap operas, Caroline has lived a life of constant change. Through motherhood, marriage, and losing her sense of self, she shares how she found her way back through small daily rituals and honesty.

This conversation isn’t about fashion alone, it’s about identity, resilience, and what it looks like to rebuild yourself in midlife with clarity and faith.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How Caroline went from soap opera actress to building a thriving business on social media in her late 40s
• The emotional toll of motherhood, marriage, and feeling lost after two kids under two
• Her candid experience with perimenopause, weight gain, anxiety, and finding strength again
• Why “getting up and getting dressed” became her lifeline and signature philosophy
• How childhood chaos and her parents’ complicated marriage shaped her identity
• The green flags she looked for in a partner — and how she manifested the love of her life
• What women don’t talk about enough when it comes to marriage, resentment, and midlife expectations
• How faith, gratitude, and daily rituals anchor her through life’s toughest seasons
• The deeper meaning behind her maximalist jewelry and why it became her emotional armor
• Why women in midlife are craving realness, connection, sisterhood, and permission to reinvent themselves

In this episode, I sit down with Alicia Grande, the CEO and founder of Grande Cosmetics and the powerhouse behind the number-one lash and brow serum in America for nearly 20 years. 

From building a beauty empire while staying grounded to navigating marriage, motherhood, and the judgment that often comes with female success, Alicia shares her story with a level of openness I know you’ll truly appreciate. This conversation is not just about beauty or business, it’s about identity, resilience, community, and what it really takes to flourish in midlife. 

In this episode, we discuss:

• How Alicia built Grande Cosmetics from one product to the number-one lash and brow serum in America
• The grit, vision, and persistence it took to succeed in a crowded beauty industry
• The emotional side of success that women don’t often talk about
• What happens to friendships, marriage, and family dynamics when a woman becomes the breadwinner
• Why so many midlife women are craving sisterhood, community, and safe spaces to be vulnerable
• The judgment she faced from other women and how she processed losing friendships along the way
• Her desire for balance, spiritual grounding, and connection beyond business
• The beauty routines and wellness rituals that keep her feeling confident and aligned
• The surprising similarities between her story and so many women navigating midlife reinvention

This week, Dominique is joined by Dr. Evan Garfein, Chief of Plastic Surgery at Montefiore Medical Center and Professor of Surgery at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Together, they dive into one of the most important and often overlooked conversations in women’s health: breast cancer, mastectomy, identity, and the power of choice in reconstruction.

Dr. Garfein has dedicated his career to helping women restore both their bodies and confidence after breast cancer. With more than 60 peer-reviewed publications, three biomedical patents, and nearly a decade named in New York Magazine’s Best Doctors, he is not only a surgeon but an advocate. He helped author a New York State law requiring doctors to inform women of their right to reconstruction, a crucial step toward bridging healthcare inequality.

In this episode, Dominique and Dr. Garfein discuss:

• What inspired him to leave cardiac surgery and dedicate his life to breast reconstruction
• How reconstruction has evolved from early muscle-flap techniques to modern options like implants and DIEP flaps
• The emotional impact of mastectomy and why reconstruction is about more than appearance
• The critical importance of timing, radiation, and why women must speak to a plastic surgeon early in their diagnosis
• The hidden inequality in breast cancer care, and his fight to make reconstruction information and access a legal right for all women
• Clarifying implant safety, longevity, and the truth behind breast implant illness and removal trends

In this solo episode, Dominique reflects on how the holidays have become a season of excess, and why she’s choosing a simpler, more intentional path this year.

She opens up about the pressure to perform through decor, gifts, and traditions, and how midlife has shifted her perspective on what truly matters. From nostalgic memories of the ‘70s and homemade costumes to the overwhelm of today’s consumer culture, Dominique invites listeners to rethink what joy and connection really look like.

In this episode, Dominique discusses:

• How holiday consumerism steals our peace and presence
• Letting go of pressure and finding joy in simplicity
• The difference between obligation and true meaning
• Minimalist ideas for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas
• Reclaiming gratitude, creativity, and connection during the holidays
