Description

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
