This week, Dominique is joined by Dr. Evan Garfein, Chief of Plastic Surgery at Montefiore Medical Center and Professor of Surgery at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Together, they dive into one of the most important and often overlooked conversations in women's health: breast cancer, mastectomy, identity, and the power of choice in reconstruction.Dr. Garfein has dedicated his career to helping women restore both their bodies and confidence after breast cancer. With more than 60 peer-reviewed publications, three biomedical patents, and nearly a decade named in New York Magazine's Best Doctors, he is not only a surgeon but an advocate. He helped author a New York State law requiring doctors to inform women of their right to reconstruction, a crucial step toward bridging healthcare inequality.In this episode, Dominique and Dr. Garfein discuss:What inspired him to leave cardiac surgery and dedicate his life to breast reconstructionHow reconstruction has evolved from early muscle-flap techniques to modern options like implants and DIEP flapsThe emotional impact of mastectomy and why reconstruction is about more than appearanceThe critical importance of timing, radiation, and why women must speak to a plastic surgeon early in their diagnosisThe hidden inequality in breast cancer care, and his fight to make reconstruction information and access a legal right for all womenClarifying implant safety, longevity, and the truth behind breast implant illness and removal trendsFor more on Dr. Garfein, follow him on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drevangarfein/?hl=en Website: https://evangarfeinmd.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/evan-garfein-md-mba-800ba03/ This episode is brought to you by:Ritual: My listeners get early access to their Black Friday sale with 40% off your first month at Ritual.com/OVER50 Honeylove: Save 20% at honeylove.com/OVER50Clean Simple Eats: Visit https://glnk.io/73q00/dominique and use code FLOURISHING20 at checkout for 20% off your first orderRidge Wallet: Head to Ridge.com to get up to 47% off your order.Timeline Nutrition: Head to timeline.com/flourishing to get 20% off your order.

This week, Dominique sits down with Dr. Lisa Grain, a retired orthodontist who has completely reinvented herself as the founder of French Barrels, a new beauty brand bringing back the old-school ritual of wet set rollers with modern technology.What started as a cherished Sunday night ritual with her grandmother and mother has transformed into a full-fledged beauty startup built on faith, creativity, and perseverance.In this conversation, Dominique and Lisa discuss:Lisa's journey from orthodontics to entrepreneurship, and why she walked away from a long, successful career to chase a passion projectThe seven-year process of designing prototypes, testing, and finally creating the perfect wet set rollerWhy traditional rollers (foam, Velcro, plastic) never measured up, and how French Barrels are differentHow wet setting makes hair healthier, shinier, and longer-lasting than blowouts or heat stylingThe generational influence of her grandmother, mother, and daughter in shaping her beauty philosophy and businessWhat Lisa learned about funding a startup without venture capital, and how bartering, relationships, and persistence carried her forwardThe emotional moment of her daughter helping her create her first pitch deck, and what it taught her about full-circle parentingHow faith and what she calls “QTR” (Quality Time Remaining) guide her decisions in this next chapterWhy reinvention is not just possible, but powerful, for women at any stage of lifeFor more on Lisa, follow her on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisagrain/?hl=en Website: https://frenchbarrelettes.com/ Thanks to my Sponsors:LMNT: Right now LMNT is offering a free 8-count Sample Pack of their most popular drink mix flavors with any purchase.

In today's episode, Dominique sits down with award-winning researcher and best-selling author Dr. Chelle McQuaid, whose work dives deep into how women can break free from lifelong patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and silencing themselves to keep others comfortable.From early childhood conditioning to the cultural expectations still placed on women today, Dr. Chelle shares surprising insights from her global research, including the role estrogen plays in helping us shed the "good girl" persona and step into a more authentic, empowered self.In this episode, Dominique and Dr. Chelle discuss:How “good girl” conditioning begins in childhood and gets reinforced in adulthoodThe connection between menopause and breaking free from self-silencing behaviorsWhy women often struggle with setting boundaries and asking for what they needThe three biggest ways the “good girl” mindset shows up: perfectionism, people-pleasing, and emotional suppressionHow self-compassion, secure self-attachment, and self-leadership can change everythingWhy “not yet” can be the most powerful phrase for growthA calming somatic practice (the “butterfly hug”) to ground yourself in moments of fear or self-doubtFor more on Angela:Listen to her podcast, The Good Girl Gamechangers PodcastVisit her website: https://shop.thegoodgirlgamechangers.com/ Thanks to my Sponsors:Visit Carawayhome.com/flourishing or use code flourishing at checkout to take an additional 10% off your next purchase.Use code DOMINIQUE at monarchmoney.com in your browser for half off your first year.
