Almost 2 years ago, at 65 yrs young, I had a major health issue, ended a relationship, sold a home and moved to a new state all in 1 year. I can truly say that everything that occurred was God's will and by his grace that I was able to not only survive but am now thriving in my new environment. I will admit that after the dust settled, I was a bit emotional about all the changes but also grateful for all of the blessings bestowed on me in the process. Ladies, be encouraged that whatever circumstances you face, God will always be there with you.

My son was on life support for 10 days after a cardiac event, at the young age of 39 .It was a gut wrenching decision to sign a DNR, but we knew in our hearts he was gone.I don't know how I made it through that time and his memorial, it;s a blur.I know I pulled strength from my strong faith and upbringing. I move forward every day for him, count my blessings , and give a wink to his pictures throughout my home. You must move forward.

I have refused to let that depress me because God has given me Peace beyond measure.

As a Christian mother of 4, married for 21yrs. The most difficult task and change for me was a personal tragedy, the loss of my Father. Whatever our circumstances maybe in life, tests and trials is inevitable. So when they come to you, it is used to evaluate your knowledge of something, but it will also test your endurance. I learn to preserve through it with much FAITH and tenacity.

I voluntarily changed my whole life after some involuntary life changes had occurred. One of the changes included moving continents. I actually moved to Dallas. (Never felt 'at home' there.) Accidentally, I flew back to Europe for my annual visit 2 days before the declaration of the worldwide pandemic. Traveling back was not possible for another 20 months or so. What seemed like yet another involuntary circumstance turned out to be a blessing: New-found gratitude for & appreciation of my true home, my roots & my identity.

@barbarakorczynski7133 3 месяца назад

Dominique one day as I was feeling challenged by a family member, I felt the Holy Spirit tell me to “pivot”. I responded by plugging my attention and contributions into a different direction. That way I wasn’t stuck and frustrated and feeling unappreciated. So that’s my new mantra whenever I feel depleted in one area or dealing with challenging people, I just Pivot and put my energy, time and attention into a fresh outlet. It’s truly been so freeing and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and your beautiful presence. We are all blessed by your gifts. Bless you and all of your endeavors ❤.

You have helped me in knowing that, "yes, she is gone, but I'm not". Thank your daily (I pull up my big girl panties and I get to living or I get to dying").

I had one of those mornings where I found that a problem I thought was behind me reared it's ugly head again and pushed me off track - so this video was helpful and reassuring. Perfect timing. I have watched your platform long enough to appreciate the changes you have been through. I see that some comments on this video are really nasty. I'm sorry about that because you don't deserve that. I believe that you always do what you think is the right thing to do - not only for youself - but for your followers. Of course, we are all different, but helpful information is helpful information. You can take or leave it. I'm going to take it today. Thanks, Dominique.

Best wishes and I hope your country will not be at war much longer. My mother passed away over 20 years ago, but when she was a widow, all of my sisters wanted her to move for they lived. She chose to stay in her own home in her original city because she said you cannot follow your kids. She said if I moved where they are, their jobs or their lives could change and they could move somewhere else and there I would be stuck. That’s a piece of advice that I would like to share with you. But do what will make you happy. ❤

@karenswearingen4650 3 месяца назад

I just turned 56 last week and have followed you for years. I was taking care of an elderly parent who was full of life and didn’t at all seem like 95 years old. He lived alone just less than a mile from me in his own home and suddenly went downhill. He ended up passing in September and it’s been devastating to say the least. My beloved mother passed when I was 30 and that was my first experience with major grief. I was previously with my ex husband since I was 15 and got divorced when I was 36 for a multitude of reasons. He recently passed away with our two children by his side. It’s another devastating blow. I have gained a little weight and overthink everything!! Your message tonight when I watched this brought me hope and uplifted my spirits. Thank you so much for being real and sharing your experiences. Love from Wyoming 💕🙏🏼

@Jeannette.akaJnett 3 месяца назад

Things that keep us on our toes so to speak. What matters? Sharing and caring. Yes, being a light. Trying to be there for someone else. I try to keep my eyes off myself and keep them where God wants them to be. From what He lays upon my heart to pray about, what to do, whatever, wherever He is calling me. At almost 75, remembering He has it all under control and I just need to follow His lead.

@kellybonanno 3 месяца назад

I'm going through similar changes, divorced in 2022, great new career opportunity that complements my business in 2023, selling my home and moving to an apartment in a few months when my youngest son graduates high school. I was literally thinking about you yesterday and how you've gone through similar changes and handled them with such grace and excitement. Seriously, sometimes when I get nervous about my move, I think about you, Dominique and how you're flourishing after similar changes and I believe I will too!

@elayari9748 3 месяца назад

You don't know how many women are in the same situation, I am, will be moving this summer and I am so scared. My son graduates high school this summer too. The fear is real, I'm trying to live in the present but it is so hard not to think in the future specially how are you able to handle it financially. That's the biggest fear for me. I leave it up to God . Hugs.❤

@jennifer_bowen_az 2 месяца назад

Every change in my life has always led to something more beautiful and fulfilling than I could ever imagine. Didn't feel like it at the time, but the pure joy came eventually. And I think many people feel that way or could feel that way, if they reflected on their past with a bit of "la vie en rose." I appreciate it so much, Dominique, that you are addressing this topic. You have been instrumental in inspiring me, I've watched your channel for over 10 years and finally braved the RU-vid world and created my own channel last month. Much love to you. Keep speaking your truth and spreading love. :) :) :)

@kathystclair9485 3 месяца назад

Losing my mother when she was my age (67) and I was 32 was the hardest thing to date I have been through. She had cancer and I lived 4 hours away. It pained me not to be there all the time. I had 3 little girls at that time to care for ages 7-11. The last 3 months of her life I would go down every weekend just to be with her. That has been almost 35 years ago, and I still miss her. I think you are right when you said you probably were born with a positive mindset. I'm more of a realist and my husband of 48 years is an optimist. In our entire marriage I never once heard him say a negative thing about any situations we were facing. In fact, his favorite story in the Bible is when Joshua and Calab said, "We are well able to take the land!" That's how he has always lived his life. I loved the saying, and I have been repeating it since I watched this Monday as I'm facing a physical issue: "It is what it is, until it isn't." Thank you for that and your wonderful thoughts. BTW, your profile is beautiful! God bless!

I have chronic fatigue/fibromyalgia and in bed a good deal of the time, thus no problem with too much planning ahead. I can understand the issues of a healthy person and enjoyed this video even though it doesn’t relate to me. Are there any others here who have a very limiting chronic illness, or know someone? Maybe that would be an idea for a future podcast if enough interest, which I doubt. :-)

@marysterbin7016 3 месяца назад

I too have fibromyalgia and the many additional issues related to this disease. Yes it is limiting and some days are “bed” days. Give yourself Grace. I make to-do lists & it can help by crossing off items & visually seeing progress. Some days it may only be one item!! Try it😊 I understand❤

@mariemyers6747 3 месяца назад

Endometriosis, Late Stage Lyme Disease and Valley Fever have kept me in bed and there are often more bad days then good. The biggest changes that were almost forced upon me was embracing a minimalist mindset and solitude. Both make me feel surprisingly abundant! Less is more IS real. I have let go of so much stuff because you are kind of required to due to health reasons. My joints ache all the time and my brain is fried. My husband has been a huge help in understanding my need to downsize and eliminate clutter, chaos and an unnecessarily busy social calendar. I don't know why people associate downsizing with down grading and solitude with loneliness. Now I can rest completely guilt free & chaos free while enjoying my own company, even on my worst days. Self-care oftentimes gets put on the back burner when you are drowning in too much stuff, too much square footage and too many activities (including so many doctor's appointments). Make the space that you spend the most time in when not feeling good or recovering from treatment your sanctuary. Don't let the world (television, mail, bills, to do lists, etc.) raid this space of rest and recovery. That was the first immediate change I had made for myself. Nurture yourself and be gentle with yourself. 🦋🙏💙

I'm feeling the age thing and my healthy lifestyle changed and my healthy eating habits have changed. Not drastic or horrible, but enough to feel it in my body. I like you try to concentrate on sleep eating right and exercise. One thing I do get is regular walks/hikes with my dog, which helps with quiet time, and that is a priority. Thank you for the reassurance that change is inevitable, and I feel the bad will turn into the good. Just wait! Thank you for this content and being real.

Aged 50, only child, Dad died (elderly after years with Alzheimer's), husband of 20 years facing losing a job he'd been in for 33 years, marriage a bit rocky then Mum died 9 months after Dad. 3 weeks before Xmas. 2 weeks later, husband left to be with someone who'd dumped him 31 years earlier. The question - what do I do? How do I take responsibility?? Well - once the dust settled from the shock, realised I was looking at a blank page with limitless possibilities. Had a good friend living & working in Thailand. Went to visit her & saw a way through. I re-trained to teach English as a foreign language and with my BA (Hons) degree was able to find work easily. Didn't want to live in Bangkok so moved 100 miles south, found a lovely flat right next to a beautiful beach & had 3 amazing years working and playing hard. I'm spiritual but not religious and I know many of you find your faith in God a great comfort. My faith is in me, in my resilience and I celebrate that. I'm now 71, thriving & hoping for many more fulfilling years.

Navigating major life changes can be scary at times (while I also see the silver linings and opportunities in it as well) and I think we can all "loop" into those fears sometimes, but your heartfelt 5 points really reminded me to live in the present and not get caught in that loop as much.

Thank you for being so candid and sharing what happened when literally watching your mom die. I just lost my father last October 2023. It was a long process, he had Lewy body dementia and I was his caregiver for his journey through it. As a result of stress, side effect cortisol levels spiked higher than ever and I’m going through menopause also. They don’t play well together I bloomed from 140 to 190 pounds. Mind you at 5’8 not bad but still overweight. In the multilevel of grieving process with new body and the shock of it. My mind is on a wild ride. Fortunately, long time ago, I went on a stubborn journey of creating my bedroom for my sanctuary, my safe place, free place to just be. My self care thing that I knew in advance and prepared for it. I love I just heard you say,”stinking thinking.” That’s a phrase we say a lot in recovery modalities. I constantly have to be aware of that. Thank you for the reminder. I can go down a rabbit hole of that stinking thinking of I’m fat, I’m this but then I have to pivot, as Pastor Rick Warren say, “ change the auto pilot”. Whenever I start to go there God is so amazing and brings me to a picture of my dad’s smile even when he was really sick. As sad as it is that he’s gone, he and God reached beyond to me and tell me, “ it’s ok!” It makes me stop. Take a breath. Acknowledge the feelings but not let them dictate where I’m going. I truly believe that those feelings are important to acknowledge and feel but not to let them take over. Remember who has the power … I do! And with God all things are possible! I will overcome. God made me that way. This too will pass and as far as my dad. I miss him. Yes…. But it’s time for me to carry the torch for God and to pass on whatever I learned from that loving person God gave on earth to others. Thank you for being you and sharing your life with us.

Finding fault in a new place, no matter how wonderful it is, is part of what is known as "culture shock". Nothing is like in the old place, food is not as good as in my old place, the sky is not as blue..etc etc I should know because change was a way of life for me and my family for 33 years. I am so glad you are adjusting and finding new things and places to enjoy. The overly planning for the future, resonated with me. I must learn to trust that God has indeed a plan even if it is not clear to us right now. Trust, for me, is the word especially because no matter how much we worry, plan or over think, it is out of our control and totally in His hands. Thank you so much Dominique for this timely podcast. Blessings.

And trying not to be attached to " things". Regarding change in our lives, There is also some needed solace and comfort in saying and repeating Thy Will Be Done, putting our worries and concerns of our life in His Hands. Sometimes, there's no greater feeling, than that of Trust and confidence in Him who created you. 🙏⬆️🕯️🕊️

All good advice, but it is all a lot harder when it involves your kids' well-being in changes you make for your family. Regrets are hard to live with. We moved thinking it was for the best for our family, but our kids got bullied. There is no growth for our family only set backs abd Regrets! But as an individual, the broadcast was very helpful!

Did I need to hear this today. I have been really down over some recent changes that haven’t gone the way I had hoped. You have given me ideas on how to look at it all differently. Thank you so much! P.S. I took notes 📝💐

Fabulous podcast. Most of us grow up with so many idealistic ways to live - having a certain job, getting married, having children etc etc, having to (happily) compromise along the way, that we can feel lost when alone as well as having less time in front of us than we’ve had. However life is for living, with lots of options and ways to engage as much as we want to and it’s so great that positive people such as you D are happily helping us live our best lives. Uk fan!

LIke everyone else, in my 83 years, I have had many changes, opportunities and challenges in my life. I think I handle challenges and change well. I am a survivor at heart, something my Mother taught me. However.... first of all I have a 5 minute pity party and wonder why me??.... Then I look to see how I can do what I need to do to move forward in a positive way. I also am glad I have that ability. It has served me well. Thanks Dominique, for laying it all out there and sharing it with us. I appreciate that about you so much. And I share your podcast with my daughter, who is 59 1/2 and navigating her life the best way she can.

I practice many of the same coping mechanisms as you do, Dominique, and when grief overwhelms me with an ache for what used to be, I repeat to myself, "How lucky, how blessed, was I" to have had this daughter in my life. And I thank God for my blessings and ask Him to ease my pain. He never fails to comfort me.

My great aunt (God bless her soul) used to say: you never know just how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have. She was a very wise woman, my aunt ;-). If I've learned anything in Biology it's that the organism that is the most successful is the one that adapts the best to change.

@bonnie2632 3 месяца назад

Good discussion, Dominique. As an English teacher I emphasize the importance of concrete details or examples. Today, you gave us just that. It was the first time I heard any details about your Mom's heart attack. Dominique, I was right there with you as you described that night, and I could, therefore, empathize with you. Statements without details just don't do it. We might have beauty, charm, talent, and intelligence, but it's those moments of vulnerability that make us human and relateable. Nice job.

Thank you, that was one of your best podcasts. It really spoke to my situation - I lost my father to cancer last year and I have been stuck in that moment struggling to move forward, feeling guilty about not being able to help him recover. Feeling guilty about being alive and doing everyday mundane things. Thank you for reminding me that it was God's will and that I can't waste my time on earth just being stuck in the past. ❤

I think so many of us are at stages in our life that are challenging us to learn how to let go and be more flexible. I am personally learning how to embrace new changes and see them as an opportunity to “grow and stretch”. Your podcasts are very inspiring and encouraging. 🌹

Interesting, Dominique - we all need to sit down and have this conversation with ourselves. Just a thought: do you think maybe the Lord is saying not yoga? Perhaps you could find a Pilates studio instead? Those exercises are gentle and very effective also..... (always need to keep in mind being careful with joints) I find I am not fearful of change, but I dislike too many changes at once. You know, when it feels like life is tackling all at once on the same day!!! 🙂 But I agree, change means developing into what God meant for us to be,; I find where I live in a retirement community, some of my recent trials have made me totally empathetic to those here in our community who need encouragement - As I experience challenges, I can more closely identify with others who are going through or have gone through times like these.....

I so agree what you said, that with the hard times in life to acknowledge God, how is this situation making me grow . You are the best. I am a planner too, you're right, we don't know what tomorrow holds. Love you.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful heart, strength, and wisdom. I desperately needed this in 2015 with too many back-to-back major life changes. Things snowballed a few years and ended up at the edge of a nervous breakdown. You are right, there was a lot to be learned from that time. God was with me all the way. Hind-sight is always 20/20.

Dear Dominque!!! Love you! I'm moving to downtown Austin in a month. I'm excited but this will be the 3rd move in 4 years. We lived for years in a little town in Wisconsin...raised our family there, and thought I'd be there forever. I love the Midwest. I felt like a fish out of water. Literally because there is not much water in Texas compared to Wisconsin. It took some time but I have come to accept it and embrace it. We have kept our lake house up north and live there in the summer months. Way too hot here LOL. I finally understood the need for some therapy and it's been life changing. I love change too but this is a lot of moving. At 63 years old I'm finally beginning to accept who I am and getting out of my comfort zone. I am empowering myself to take risks. I was stuck but am doing so much better...finally. What a journey this life is. I choose life and contentment over self pity and resentment. Thank you for always being transparent.

Thank you for this podcast on “change”! You have moved through your changes with so much grace and humility. Your mom would be so very proud. I’m 66 and needing to make a major change as well. I drink too much! Wine I love it it’s been my courage my friend until it wasn’t.. affecting my health in so many ways. Alcoholism is very prevalent in my age group and I don’t want to be a statistic. Following you and some other women my age and older are rocking their lives and I want to be counted among you beautiful ladies. This might be a good future topic for the podcast. Thanks so much. Will keep you posted on my recovery. Just over a week without a glass of wine.
