Wow so beautiful “I dress for protection. When people see me I want them to know that I come from a strong blood line and I want the right ones to feel comfortable enough to come up to me”
So good!! ❤️
I like the idea of dressing for protection. If they really want to know you they will see through the barriers and they will stick around while you peel back the layers. So beyond wise. Btw her aura is amazing.
This resonated so strongly with me!
yes, this!

"I am crazy because this world has driven me insane" --truest phrase ive heard in a while. Thank you for that
Amazing powerful words thank you I needed this today
It's beautiful to see a person radically accepting themself after being so hated and mistreated by the world
We couldn’t agree more💞

I feel incredibly grateful and humbled to have listened to her story.
Thank you so much for embracing her story! She is truly incredible💗💗
I wish she'd just acknowledged how the train driver must have felt.
My goodness, I adore her. To anyone else who has attempted suicide (I have), I hope most days you’re still glad to be here. And it’s ok if not. I’m not really sure what the answer to that is but if we’re all watching this video, that’s something 💗
We adore her too! Thank you for sharing this kindness and inspiration 💗 we're so glad you're here in our community! Sending you so, so much love xoxo
I lost my two sisters to suicide and I thought of it too but I'm still alive and had to learn about living in this world.
DEAR GODS every single woman I have "met" on this series is a GODDESS of beauty, and force, and GLOWS with strength. I absolutely LOVED this woman. I feel changed just listening to her story. Jeez. I'm tingling, I'm literally tingling. This series is intense. Where do they meet these amazing women? Wow.
I hate and love that i can relate to her pain as an indigenous woman. I'm glad she found peace and acceptance of everything she's been through.
So happy that Dom resonated with you! ❤️
I too as Indigenous woman and my bloodline embodies this we are still here ❤️
She exudes warrior princess energy!
So true! She is amazing ❤️
Yes!
She has very ancient strong spirits around her
She embodies the wounded healer archetype. So much strength and wisdom gained from pain. Thank you for sharing this beautiful woman's story.
This was transcending. We need a part 2 with Dominique.
Wow. The comment about her mom loosing herself as her role model is such a powerful acknowledgment. The beauty of that comment brought me to tears. This woman deserves her place in the world. She is Beauty Personified. it runs thru and thru. Her knowledge is as Priceless as she is. Her value as a Healer is Immeasurable. And her ability to articulate it all is a Gift.
This is so beautiful! Thank you for your kind words and for supporting Domonique 💗
I love how she said this too! Can totally relate to needing to separate my own identity from the one that my mother pushed on me.
This is a 'shamanic death' and it allows the soul to become more incarnated, bringing already enlightened wisdom down into this dimensional reality, enabling the person to heal through their enlightened wisdom. Amazing soul, fabulous wo'man. Ho'opono'pono
I loved how open and honest she was. Beautiful
We couldn't agree more! So much power, beauty, and healing through that kind of honesty 💗💗
12:31 "The more i nurtured my intuition the more my fear kind of subsided. My own voice telling me this person is safe and this person isn't and me trusting that is stronger than:"oh, what could happen?"
I don’t know how these people survive. Hearing this story and others like these is so upsetting. My heart breaks because of the cruelty of others. When she said that there are men that prey on women who are amputees and disabled, I gasped. How horrid.
I completely agree with you. Unfortunately this is not new. BBC3 actually did a documentary on men who purposely look for disabled women. It came out a few years ago.
@@Mina-ti9nh is there a link? Would like to see that.
This woman ❤️ So so glad she’s on this earth
Amen💞
What a grace and authentic beauty. A real human being with pain, emotions and able to reflect to become someone much greater that in a past. It’s a luxury to see genuine people these days.
based on this video and what she says: read the book "it didn't start with you" by mark wolynn. it is about how inherited family trauma shapes who we are and how to end the cycle :)
Absolutely agree
Grandmother's Hands by Resma Menaken and Living While Black (currently reading and it's great) for Black/POC intergenerational trauma.
Thank you I just got it from auditable
another great option is Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents
by Lindsay C. Gibson :)
Her story made me cry a river. I find it heartbreaking that her experiences as a woman led to her trying to take her own life. Now she is transformed, and her courage is astounding. I love her for her courage and wisdom and the fact she wants to live now, is a type of miracle. I cannot imagine enduring the trauma she had, and she came out on the other side, the positive beautiful soul she is, and how she wants to help others. It’s like she had to die to be reborn to be her true self. This is one of the most profound things I’ve seen on CZcams, ever. Love love love to her ❤️🙏❤️
Her hair is positively glorious! 😍😍😍 her strength is inspiring x
We so agree and glad you loved her! 😍
I really needed this. A light within darkness. Giving us all hope and strength and vulnerability. Hope everything good in this world happens to you Domonique
The light lives within the dark! Glad you loved it! ❤️
Radical Self Acceptance! She’s an empath and she is here to teach the women of the world heal from their pain and illness by using the old ways that have been handed down through the indigenous peoples of this planet. We are here to heal our ancestral wounds carried in our physical bodies through all of our individual incarnations. Facing our fears and coming into the Love of creation through being an manifestation of ones’ Devine truth as created by God(creator) is the lifelong journey we all face. Thank you to all the wounded healers. 🙏🏼this woman is an inspiration!
I wish there was an uncut version of this! I'd love to hear more of her story
There might be on their podcast?
There is a podcast that is much longer!! xo
@@alipickering5163 There is, Thank you!
Thanks :)
@@StyleLikeU1 I'm having trouble finding the episode on spotify. What is it called?
Her words were so beautiful and literally cried at some parts because of how relatable she is
I have craved for an exchange like this for so long. RAW , REAL and AUTHENTIC, painful yet incredibly healing ( Life ) Thank you for your bravery and your will to move forward.
im crying and energetically pacing around in my room out of excitement and gratitude. thank you.
Same. Same. Same.
I am so deeply touched and inspired by this story. I’m so glad you’re here sister, the world needs you and your healing light so desperately.
amen! ❤️
The world is thanking it’s lucky stars that she survived this trauma💗
Amen! ❤️❤️❤️
She's wise beyond her years. This was another beautiful and empowering person who we would do well in imitate.
You have a really thought provoking channel. Bravo ladies !
We're so glad you loved Domonique's words and our other videos! Thank you for your support!
She has a very powerful story and I'm happy for her that she has been able to heal. God love her!
This is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever witnessed! This series is amazing! Thank you for sharing these amazing, healing stories!
Nomi Ruiz IS an actual Angel. (One of the friends who sat w her in the hospital.) I’m completely convinced. (And I highly recommend listening to any music she has a part in creating. Shes a super talented vocalist…)
And Dominique is a modern day Joan-of-Arc type heroine/warrior. She’s amazing and I just love her.
An extraordinary woman. A fierce and profound being.
I love her green Kimono dress!
This was absolutely wonderful. She is captivating, and her story was potent for me.
So happy you were moved by her story and the video! Sending you love xoxo
I've been following her since right after her accident..she is wonderful. period
I am uncomfortable after this but have hope. I hear so much of my own suffering in her story. It's difficult but this sums up what we are called to do in this life - TRANSFORM. Domonique has transformed into something beautiful, something willing to learn, grow and heal. God bless you all and thank you for this video.
Thank you for sharing this with such honesty! We're so glad her story resonated with you, and we agree that her urge to learn, grow, and heal are powerful and beautiful! Sending you lots of love xoxo
Love how strong you are and how you have saved yourself from all the bad in your life. I’m the father of a beautiful daughter who has struggled
In life, she has become a strong beautiful woman like yourself, keep having a wonderful life and being who you are. I’m a very proud dad of a very beautiful strong daughter.
I cannot believe the magnitude of work these writers are doing, just by giving a voice to so many very personal experiences, without cuts and without a filter
Gracias Domonique. You really are a healer. Thank you for your wisdom, fearlessness and truth. Thank you for being alive and for touching my existence from very far away.
It’s really important what she says about western medicine. The US health system needs to catch up on self care already.
Yes,taking a pill can be a form of victimization...if the medicine doesn't work most doctors in the modern medical profession do not know what to do with you or for you!!!That's when the nightmare really begins...up the creek with no paddle.
@@skippyalbrite2431 yes!!!! completely agree
Even when u know what works the docs some times have issues with it
I'm moved to tears for her strength, beauty, courage, and most especially for her own healing. She is the goddess in form.
The finality of radical acceptance, radical self love means to radically accept, radically love and forgive all those in your ego you once had hate for or were hurt by regardless if they ever healed or changed their ways or asked for forgiveness.
Blessed journey for all those that are healing 🙏
Her story resonates with me the fact that the pain she endured physically and emotionally is humbling , beautiful woman I’m glad you were saved
Thank you so much for your medicine. It's absolutely healing. Thank you for your expression of feminity, and for your gorgeous attires you put together. It's so beautiful. Pure art.
I really needed to see this right at this moment. She's really beautiful her soul and body is beautiful. Glad to have found this channel.
Welcome! She radiates beauty, inside and out! We're so happy you found us too 💗
What a woman! She’s an inspiration, a goddess and a deep old soul. Great film x
Wow. She’s a magical healer with powerful energy!
Inspiring! We need more parents telling their kids to " be yourself".
Thank you for this incredible interview. What a powerful, beautiful, inspiring woman. We are so much more than the labels society places on us 💜🙏🏼
Yes we are! ❤️
I'm so inspired by her entire being! From her inner beauty and power to her gorgeous style 😍
A force to be reckoned with. I have been hearing my students at school saying things like "living is overrated" or "we are all doomed" and I have been reminding them we always have hope. Her message, her beauty, her power, to "never give up". Thank you, your story Dominique has broken me down and built me back up.
Lily & Elisa, you do so much good presenting these genuine people and their stories to us. Thank you!
We're so happy you love our videos 💗Thank you for watching! We wouldn't be able to present them without you 💗💗
"there's so much momentum, how could you give up now?" !!!
This is a prayer for all humanity Thankyou for holding the space Amen
Stunning video. Every time I'm in a dark period of my journey I watch this. It is hard to express how greatful I am. Wow. Thank you.
This series is so deeply moving, inspiring, empowering and I am so hooked. I feel so incredibly proud to be female when I watch these women and hear their stories. I feel validated and enriched. Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
She is beautiful inside & out. Shame she had to go through this, so strong 🖤
she is a beautiful light worker,thank u for existing.
The full body chills i have watching this. My goodness. What a warrior.
She is so strong mentally and physically
I suffered from PTSD from an 8ncident at work the way they dealt with it was terrible I was passed around to different therapist non of which did me any good and all recommended different treatments and meds in the end I felt traumatised and felt de humanised by it all I said enough is enough and then faced disapproval almost as if I was ungrateful I took matters into my own hands I'm glad I had the strength to do it
The ladies on this channel are so inspiring. To peel off these delicate & intricate layers & just allow themselves to reflect on their darkness & hurt from within and to transform that into healing & sharing is so inspiring. I admire their vulnerability. It brings so much light and inspiration into this dim and often dark world. I feel so inspired & humbled. Thank you for sharing. Their stories impart so much wisdom.💗🤍💖
I really dig her story. She has opened my eyes, heart and soul.
I wish her many years of peace joy laughter
what a beautiful powerful person. Thank you so much for sharing
We're so glad you loved the video! Thank you for watching and embracing Domonique's story! xoxo
Such a strong powerful woman.
Spiritual beauty with healthy boundaries.
Having an abundance of spiritual beauty means you've lost all hate / anger for others, you can't radically accept yourself if you are still hating and not expecting others, even if you don't agree with their path
She’s Beautiful, Amazing, and Powerful and I’m soo glad she lived!!
Thank you for sharing your true self, authentically unapologetic - its a beautiful thing xx
I am so deeply moved by this amazingly beautiful,brave,inspiring, liberating spirit.Thank you for creating this fantastic video.
I NEED A AUTOBIOGRAPHY! Your story needs to be told!
So inspiring to see you and hear you talk and feel your energy. I’ve followed you online for a while and it’s so heartwarming to see you grow from such an ugly experience and transform into the wonderful healer you are today. Much love and blessings! 🥰🥰🥰
🥰🥰🥰

When you carry every woman through your divine.. it's called absolute power!!! I feel her and see her. Much love from the twin republic 🇹🇹
This is one of my favorite interviews on this channel.
Thank you for sharing your story. The very first minute you had me in tears.
Her words, her passion. I love her!!!
Warrior/ goddess! And each layer was gorgeous!
I am glad for her kind angels walking among us.
I saw the girl in her die, and the mimicking of other women took over...simple and strong
She NURTURED her INtuition! Yes!!
she is such a force, and im OBSESSED with her garments
Bless her. Bought tears to my eyes what a good soul
This was such a beautiful, and inspiring story. Thank you for sharing but most importantly, for continuing your new life of healing and inspiring!
We agree! Thank you for embracing her story 💗
What a beautiful spirit.. thank you so much for sharing your story..
Inspiring ... helps us embrace our imperfections versus judging ourselves as damaged and thus less than loveable.
Such a beautiful wise warrior she is. Inspiring and brave. Thank you so very much.
I think this one resonated so much with me. She is strong she’s a survivor just like all the women before here.
We're so happy the video resonated with you!💞💞
She is absolutely beautiful! I wish I could have at least an ounce of the confidence she exudes. I watched the entire time just thinking to myself “ it’s so pretty when people are just authentically themselves”. She tells her story like a painter painting a canvas. What a beautiful human. 🥰
The fact that she came out the other side so strong and so empowered. She is beautiful and powerful.
Protect her ❤️
I loved listening to her speak directly from her heart and share her story with us. Just amazing, I am so glad those hands carried her to her intuition and her people.
Thank you Domonique for your courage and beauty.
What a beautiful and strong woman. This is the best episode I've seen.
🥰🥰Domonique is incredible! We're so happy you loved the video!
10:48 talking about she's big, that woman has a lovely body and that's the 100 percent truth and she has a beautiful soul. ❤
Gah. This woman is magnificent! Sheer raw beauty and power and we need more of this in our world. Thank you so so much for your time and truth 💐
