233 Helping Women Make a Unique Life Pivot with Dominique Velasquez

You ever have that feeling that you should be happier than you are? Maybe you think that in general, things are going pretty OK in your life, and for sure a lot of people have it worse than you do, and yet you feel like you should be happier? You wonder what's wrong with you? I'll out myself and say that yes, I've been there many times in my life. If this at all resonates for you, then I've got the best guest for you! Today I'm sitting down with Dominique Velasquez to talk about:

• The guilt that comes from feeling that you have no good reason to be anxious or unhappy
• The search for external validation
• Her struggles with opioids
• Her amazing recovery (and how my podcast helped!!! – I am so grateful to know this!!!)
• Her key understanding that the problem is not the circumstance in which we find ourselves, it's… (you'll have to listen to hear the rest!)
• The devastating effect of shame
• How the tools that Dominique has developed help other women to feel fulfilled and whole inside
• Dominique's PIVOTT program

About Dominique Velasquez

I spent my life trying to prove my worth by achieving things. However, there was no achievement big enough to fill the hole I had in my heart. I kept feeling empty like something was missing, and I just could not figure out why. I'd smile and put on a happy face to the world, but internally I was dying. In 2010 I got diagnosed with endometriosis, & quickly found myself fully addicted to opiates in desperation to numb the pain. At that time in my life, I looked to have it all, but I felt empty & unfulfilled! Constantly thinking "What is wrong with me?" I was dripping in shame from living a double life, pretending to be fine. The shame of being found out stopped me from seeking the treatment that I desperately wanted. I truly believed that my worth came from outside of me. Then I discovered self-development, and my life took a 180-degree pivot. I quickly learned that everything I needed was inside me and that I am the creator of my life. My purpose is to guide women in discovering that everything they need is inside them.
