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.
