  • Dominique Sachse Gets Honest About Divorce, Identity, and Finding Love Again

    Dominique Sachse Gets Honest About Divorce, Identity, and Finding Love Again
    Apr 27 2026
    Reinvention is a word that gets thrown around a lot. Dominique Sachse would call it a misread. I sit down with Dominique, Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist, YouTube creator, author of Life Makeover, and host of Over 50 & Flourishing, to talk about what it actually takes to rebuild your identity in midlife, why letting go of control is not weakness, and how curiosity might be the most underrated tool any of us have.After 28 years anchoring the news in Houston, Dominique walked away from a pension, a 401k, and a career identity she built from scratch, all while navigating a divorce and building an entrepreneurial brand from the ground up. This conversation goes deep on the psychological cost of high achievement, why driven women often end up lonely in their relationships, and what it looks like to build a life that holds up over time.What We Explore:- Why "reinvention" is the wrong frame, and how thinking of life as an unfolding rather than a reset changes everything about how you make hard decisions.- How the same traits that make you exceptional at work will slowly hollow out your relationships, and what it looks like to finally course-correct without losing your edge.- Why curiosity is the skill that keeps midlife from becoming a holding pattern, in love, in identity, and in every conversation you are scared to start.- What the need for control actually costs you, and why the highest-performing women are often the ones who feel most invisible inside their own homes.- How to approach aging, appearance, and the "how much is too much" question without losing yourself in the process.Chapter:00:00 Intro03:00 Why Female Broadcasters Get Judged on Appearance First09:05 Leaving Security Behind: Career, Divorce, and Starting Over13:46 Midlife Women Are Craving Simplicity.

She launched her YouTube beauty and lifestyle channel in 2014 and built a community of nearly one million women who trust her to show up honestly about the real texture of midlife. She is the author of Life Makeover: Embrace the Bold, Beautiful and Blessed You and the host of the podcast Over 50 & Flourishing. Her work sits at the intersection of faith, identity, beauty, and honest self-examination, and she is one of the more grounded voices doing it at scale.Connect with Dominique Sachse:Website: https://dominiquesachse.tv/who-i-am/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dominiquesachse/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dominiquesachsetvTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dominiquesachse🎟️: Don’t miss your chance to experience the Behind the Curtain tour LIVE!

  • TEAM USA OLYMPIAN: How Chari Hawkins Trained Her Mind to Reach Paris After Years of Falling Short

    TEAM USA OLYMPIAN: How Chari Hawkins Trained Her Mind to Reach Paris After Years of Falling Short
    Apr 20 2026

    Most people watch the Olympics and see the result. Chari Hawkins lived two and a half decades of work to get there, and almost didn't make it. I sit down with US Olympian and world-class heptathlete Chari Hawkins for a wide-ranging conversation about what it actually takes to build mental toughness from scratch, compete at the highest level with a broken heart, and figure out who you are when the sport is no longer the whole answer.

    This is not a highlight reel conversation. Chari is honest about the panic attacks, the identity crises, the years of therapy, the breakdowns under a tent at track meets, and the visualization breakthrough that got her to the 2024 Paris Olympics. She's also sharp, curious, and deeply thoughtful about what sport teaches you about life, not the other way around. If you've ever had to do hard things while scared, this one is for you.

    What we explore:

    • Why tying your identity to a single role, athlete, title, achievement, sets you up for a crisis the moment it ends.
    • How Chari used a three-word visualization framework to silence the fear before the race that got her to Paris.
    • Why mental toughness is not a personality trait, and what the actual work of building it looks like under pressure.
    • What not winning a World Championship medal gave her that a podium finish never could have.
    • How competition-day nutrition, breathwork, and sleep tools function as a performance system, and what happens when you get them wrong.

    About Chari Hawkins

    Chari Hawkins is a US Olympic heptathlete who competed at the 2024 Paris Olympics. One of the most mentally transparent athletes in track and field, she has spent over 20 years competing at the world-class level across seven events, from the 100 hurdles to the 800m, and has become as well known for her openness about the mental side of sport as she has for her performance.

  • The Doing, Not the Getting | Kris Gethin on True Motivation

    The Doing, Not the Getting | Kris Gethin on True Motivation
    Apr 13 2026

    There’s a difference between looking strong… and actually being resilient.


    In this conversation, I sat down with Kris Gethin—someone who has spent decades pushing the limits of performance, recovery, and discipline.


    But what stood out to me isn’t just how hard he trains.


    It’s how clearly he understands that real strength isn’t just physical.


    It’s mental.

    It’s behavioral.

    And it’s built through the small decisions we make every day.


    Kris didn’t come into this world through a perfect path.

    He found training through injury, through losing his identity, and through having to rebuild himself from the ground up.


    And that’s really what this conversation is about.


    Not optimization for the sake of looking better.


    But using discipline as a way to stabilize your life.


    In this episode, we cover:

    Why doing hard things first thing in the morning changes your entire day

    The difference between physical strength and mental capacity

    How community—not just programming—is what actually drives long-term change

    Why most people struggle to change even when they want to

    The role of identity in building (or breaking) consistency

    How nutrition, sleep, and environment shape your ability to perform

    The balance between intensity and recovery

    And what it really means to be “harder to kill”

    A bigger takeaway


    A lot of people are chasing performance, success, or some version of “better.”


    But if your system—your sleep, your stress, your habits—isn’t aligned…


    Everything feels harder than it should.


    Kris has a very direct way of saying it:


    Do the hard things first.

    Build resilience.

    And stop negotiating with yourself.
