164 Transform Your Life with the CLEAR Framework with Dominiece Clifton
My guest today is Dominiece Clifton, the founder of Move And Still, Nourish Wellness Collective, host of The School of Healing Podcast, and author of Hold Space to Heal.
Dominiece Clifton’s work lies at the intersection of connection, community, and change. She empowers women entrepreneurs to build aligned and sustainable businesses and supports organizations by offering tools to prioritize mindfulness and healing.
- Imagine a world where deep breathing was taught in all schools, and kids learned at a young age how to regulate their bodies…
- Imagine a world where mindfulness was incorporated into the workday and working professionals were encouraged to pause and regulate their bodies…
- Imagine a world where first responders and police officers paused to take a deep breath in the face of a fearful situation...
- Imagine a world where everyone had access to simple tools and resources to manage their physical and mental health more effectively…
In this enlightening episode, Dominiece shares her profound journey of self-discovery, spurred by a transformative meditation experience in 2017 when her late grandmother encouraged her to embrace her true calling. Together, we explore the importance of integrating mindfulness into schools and workplaces, and how ancestral guidance can help individuals reconnect with their gifts and navigate life's challenges with motivation and positivity.
Get ready to shift your mindset and tackle common hurdles like imposter syndrome and the scarcity mindset. Dominiece and I unravel practical strategies to maintain motivation and highlight the dangers of comparison and seeking external validation.
We also dive into the CLEAR goal framework, which stands for Cause, Level up, End game, Accountability, and Results, offering you a structured approach to goal setting and self-improvement.
From setting small, manageable goals to celebrating your wins, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you progress with confidence and a renewed sense of purpose.

00:00:43.405 --> 00:01:03.384
Joining me is my guest, dominice Clifton, and Dominice is a business coach, spiritual guide, author, speaker and a lifelong learner which I can totally relate to, on a mission to guide others to remember their gifts and their power so they can live a life of freedom and fulfillment.
00:01:03.384 --> 00:01:05.009
And Dominique, welcome.
00:01:05.009 --> 00:01:10.403
I'm just going to talk you up a little bit because I've got so much wonderful stuff to share about you, but thank you for joining me.
00:01:11.064 --> 00:01:12.308
Carol, thank you for having me.
00:01:12.308 --> 00:01:15.844
I'm excited to chat with you and be in conversation and community today.
00:01:16.245 --> 00:01:18.171
Yeah, and I've just so many things I want to share.
00:01:18.171 --> 00:01:23.025
So Dominique is the founder of Move and Still, the Nourish Wellness Collective.
00:01:23.025 --> 00:01:50.189
She, too, is a host of a podcast called the School of Healing and an author the author of Hold Space to Heal and I love the way you describe that your work lies at this intersection of connection, community and change, and that you work with empowering women entrepreneurs to build not only aligned and sustainable businesses, but also that supports organizations by offering tools to help them prioritize mindfulness and healing.
00:01:50.189 --> 00:01:57.067
And so I popped over to Dominique's website and I just pulled out their vision, because I thought this is just so beautiful.
00:01:57.067 --> 00:02:02.790
And so what she had there and I'm going to read it to you is our vision a better world for all.
00:02:03.740 --> 00:02:11.290
Imagine a world where deep breathing was taught in all schools and kids learned at a young age how to regulate their bodies.
00:02:11.290 --> 00:02:21.992
Imagine a world where mindfulness was incorporated into the workday and working professionals were encouraged to pause and regulate their bodies.
00:02:21.992 --> 00:02:31.693
Imagine a world where first responders and police officers pause to take a deep breath in the face of a fearful situation.
00:02:31.693 --> 00:02:41.413
And imagine a world where everyone had access to simple tools and resources to manage their physical and mental health more effectively.
00:02:41.413 --> 00:02:45.848
That is just so powerful and so all-encompassing.
00:02:45.848 --> 00:02:47.252
I love it.
00:02:48.161 --> 00:02:48.983
Thank you so much.
00:02:48.983 --> 00:02:51.248
Thank you for sharing, Gosh.
00:02:51.248 --> 00:02:54.750
You know, when you put a website together, it's like these things are on your heart and you share them.
00:02:54.750 --> 00:02:59.668
But I don't visit my website often and so my mission, my vision, like those things are very clear.
00:02:59.668 --> 00:03:05.469
But even just hearing you read that it made me smile because I'm like that, yes, like that is why I started moving.
00:03:05.469 --> 00:03:17.911
Still, it was really just about easy ways to provide access to people and practical strategies, nothing that's too complicated, and so hearing you, hearing you read that, and just reminding me of like that's why you're doing this every day, it made my heart smile.
00:03:17.911 --> 00:03:19.181
So thank you for sharing.
00:03:19.222 --> 00:03:20.985
Absolutely, and that is so important.
00:03:20.985 --> 00:03:32.448
We often, you know, we lose touch with our why sometimes, and you know, reconnecting with our why does it just brings the joy and the motivation, because not every day is an easy day.
00:03:32.448 --> 00:03:42.670
I mean, we're not, all you know, on top of the mountain and on the top of the wave, but there are times that you sink to the bottom of that wave and you've got to pick yourself up and keep going.
00:03:42.670 --> 00:03:55.551
But, dominique, you shared and we just chatted about this briefly that your grandmother visited you during a meditation and you felt then that being on autopilot and not feeling worthy.
00:03:55.551 --> 00:03:58.766
Share a little bit of that with us.
00:03:58.766 --> 00:04:00.131
I'd love to hear more?
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:02.887
Yeah, thank you for asking that question.
00:04:02.887 --> 00:04:16.110
So I have a picture of my grandmother here on my altar and I come in every morning and greet her and speak to her, and she's been such a she's an ancestor now so she's no longer with us, but she's been such a pivotal part of my journey ago.
00:04:16.110 --> 00:04:17.451
She came to me in a meditation.
00:04:17.451 --> 00:04:26.704
It was 2017.
00:04:26.704 --> 00:04:35.488
And I don't know if that's eight years now, but end of 2017, december of 2017, I was meditating and I was at a point in my life where I had just been existing.
00:04:35.488 --> 00:04:39.045
I was really numb, you know, asking the question God, is this it Like?
00:04:39.045 --> 00:04:40.651
Is this really all that I signed up for?
00:04:40.651 --> 00:04:45.728
Like just not feeling happy with my job, my marriage, you know my financial circumstances.
00:04:45.728 --> 00:04:50.882
I was just tired of being tired and fighting the same battles and not winning at anything.
00:04:51.764 --> 00:04:55.658
And I started meditating because I didn't really know what else to do.
00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:00.091
I just felt called to stillness about a year before, when I was pregnant with my daughter in 2016.
00:05:00.091 --> 00:05:17.250
And so it was a new relationship with meditation, and she came to me just as almost as clear as you and I are having this conversation and sat with me and I joke and say that I was summonsed essentially to jump into the work that I'm doing now because for me I felt like it was a reminder of back and read that journal entry was it's time right?
00:05:17.250 --> 00:05:32.639
Like you feel not aligned and you're not fulfilled because you're not doing what you were called to do and what you are intended to do and what your soul came here to do.
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:40.541
And so that conversation and that whisper that she came to me and visited me, it was really the start of the path that I'm on now.
00:05:40.541 --> 00:05:42.985
And so I joke and say my grandmother was.
00:05:42.985 --> 00:05:50.882
She had a very like bossy personality, so I'm like she summons me to get started, but she really did give me the nudge that I needed to get to get going.
00:05:51.103 --> 00:05:51.624
To move.
00:05:51.624 --> 00:05:55.201
You know, and I love what you're just sharing now because that's such a beautiful picture.
00:05:55.201 --> 00:06:33.250
In the positive intelligence program that we use for helping you build a positive mindset, one of the powers that we invite you is to consult with your elder wiser self and you are blessed to have your grandmother have that interaction with you but just to empower people to, to spend some time that you could sit and try to visualize, or to meet with your elder wiser self and get some wisdom as to you know what is important and what do you need to let go of and find that joy to move you into the next step and what you want to do with your life.
00:06:33.250 --> 00:06:48.024
And I know one of the things that often becomes if we now look at with a business hat on and talking to our solopreneurs and our entrepreneurs that this comparison in business and this imposter syndrome.
00:06:48.024 --> 00:06:56.720
Why do you think so many people get lost and spiral down into this trap of comparison?
00:06:57.785 --> 00:07:00.595
So it's interesting, your comment before this question.
00:07:00.595 --> 00:07:01.526
I will answer the question.
00:07:01.526 --> 00:07:11.749
But I was going to say I appreciate the framework that you use with consulting your elder self and really guiding people to be and sit with themselves for the answers, right Like I was going to say that.
00:07:11.749 --> 00:07:14.096
And then here we are with this question, which is a perfect segue.
00:07:14.096 --> 00:07:24.230
I think that I firmly believe that we have all the answers that we need within us and what we don't have, right Like the universe spirit will provide and give to us if we are open to receive it.
00:07:24.632 --> 00:07:43.514
I think that oftentimes and I will speak from my own experience that when I was caught up in comparison and when I was caught up in the noise and distraction of what everyone else was doing, I didn't know myself well enough, I didn't trust myself well enough, and I hadn't done enough of my own self-discovery work to fully understand who I was.
00:07:43.514 --> 00:07:44.898
And so I was trying to.
00:07:44.898 --> 00:08:06.646
I was seeking answers externally, I was seeking validation externally, I was looking for the business coach or the mentor who could tell me what my purpose was and who could help me to figure out what I needed to do, and that's really not what other humans are like able to do, like no one can give you your purpose, because your purpose is your purpose, right?
00:08:06.646 --> 00:08:12.930
Like I believe that there's spirit or higher power source, however you want to identify, that higher power gives each of us a different assignment.
00:08:12.930 --> 00:08:16.817
And so, carol, I couldn't come to you and say can you help me, can you tell me my purpose?
00:08:16.817 --> 00:08:21.096
You can maybe give me tools and resources to figure it out, but that's for me to figure out.
00:08:21.156 --> 00:08:38.210
And so I think that whenever we are finding ourselves lost in comparison and again just getting distracted by what everyone else is doing and trying to take a little bit from here and take a little bit from here and piecemeal it all together, that is a sign that you need to be still and be with yourself.
00:08:38.210 --> 00:08:42.734
You have to go inward to seek the answers that you are looking for and that you need.
00:08:42.734 --> 00:08:47.573
And again, right, I am a coach and so I believe in getting guidance from other folks.
00:08:47.573 --> 00:08:50.529
But as a coach, I can't tell you what you are intended to do.
00:08:50.529 --> 00:08:56.817
I can provide you with the resources that will help you to find those answers, and I think that's what any good coach or mentor does.
00:08:56.817 --> 00:08:59.129
They, essentially, are a guide for you.
00:08:59.751 --> 00:09:20.351
But yeah, for years, carol, for years, like my first four years of entrepreneurship was being caught up and not feeling good enough and being an imposter and not being clear on who I was, and again scrolling social media and seeing what all the other coaches were doing and trying to do those things, and I was burned out and exhausted from it and really tired of just that work.
00:09:20.351 --> 00:09:26.974
And it wasn't until I quit, because I was so tired of it, I stepped away and went and started moving still, which we've talked about.
00:09:26.974 --> 00:09:28.566
I started working full time.
00:09:28.566 --> 00:09:42.956
It wasn't until I had that moment to be still and be with myself that those answers started coming to me, and so if you're looking for answers, the greatest thing that you can do is just be still, open yourself up to receive, and whatever you're looking for, you'll find it.
00:09:43.846 --> 00:10:03.272
I love, dominique, what you shared then, because it's that feeling of losing yourself, you've lost your identity, while you are allowing these negative thoughts to spiral in your head that I'm not good enough and I can't do this, and stopping for a moment, as you said, just realize how unique you are, each person that's listening to this episode.
00:10:03.272 --> 00:10:04.154
You are unique.
00:10:04.154 --> 00:10:13.553
You do have gifts and bringing up some empathy, some self-compassion, some self-love, and you're good enough.
00:10:13.553 --> 00:10:15.350
So I agree with you.
00:10:15.350 --> 00:10:29.894
The coach helps you perhaps find a purpose or where you're going to put yourself, but there's enough space in the world for each and every one out there to contribute and to journey with others on their journey.
00:10:30.355 --> 00:10:43.535
Yeah, and that's another thing too Like when you are in a state of comparison, there's this scarcity mindset of you know, oftentimes not always, but there's this scarcity mindset which leads to jealousy and envy that this person is doing this thing.
00:10:43.535 --> 00:10:49.206
That jealousy and envy oftentimes is like a little spark in you that says, hey, you can do that too, right.
00:10:49.206 --> 00:11:00.767
And so we have to recognize that each of us has our own rhythm or our own secret sauce, and there can be someone who might be doing something similar to you, but no one can ever do what you do.
00:11:00.767 --> 00:11:06.890
There's going to be folks that resonate with your message and your energy, carol, and there's going to be folks that resonate with me.
00:11:07.010 --> 00:11:10.148
And what we have to realize is that people need help.
00:11:10.148 --> 00:11:16.613
Like so many people are seeking answers and so many people want to come out of the space that they're in, and there's so many souls that are seeking guidance.
00:11:16.613 --> 00:11:18.692
And so we're not in competition, right.
00:11:18.692 --> 00:11:23.513
Like we are all here to liberate one another and to help one another be our greatest selves.
00:11:23.513 --> 00:11:40.812
And so when you realize that there's an abundance, there's enough for us all to win, like that is how the universe is designed, you stop feeling like you need to compare yourself to other people, because you realize the greater mission is that people come out of their struggles and they're in their situations and each of us offers a unique way to do that right.
00:11:41.413 --> 00:11:41.995
Absolutely.
00:11:41.995 --> 00:11:45.770
And the other thing I think of when you're sharing that is this imposter syndrome.
00:11:45.770 --> 00:11:49.648
It stops us in our tracks and therefore we don't make progress.
00:11:49.648 --> 00:12:00.645
We don't start because we then want the perfect business, we want the, the perfect, everything lined up perfectly, and so we allow that self-doubt to stop us from even stepping out there.
00:12:00.645 --> 00:12:18.044
And I think to remind yourself that there's always somebody out there that needs to hear from you and it's different people, for you know we don't all align with the same people but to not let this imposter syndrome stop you in your tracks and take the baby step and move yourself forward.
00:12:18.044 --> 00:12:33.399
Now I know you spoke about and I'd love to know you have an acronym CLEAR as a goal framework, because to me, setting goals and taking action is what can move you out of being stuck with the imposter syndrome umbrella over your head.
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:36.961
Tell us a little bit more about this framework that you use.
00:12:38.065 --> 00:12:47.131
Yeah, so I am a very I have a lot of masculine energy in my astrology chart, like I'm just a natural doer, you know, achiever.
00:12:47.131 --> 00:12:48.192
I've always been that way.
00:12:48.192 --> 00:12:55.378
I'm actually learning to be softer, right, like I'm in a season of learning to soften, but I am a naturally goal oriented person.
00:12:55.378 --> 00:13:08.544
You know, if I set goals like if I'm, if I'm clear on what I need to do, if I'm clear, if I'm clear on what I need to do, I can execute that thing at a high level.
00:13:08.544 --> 00:13:18.931
And and so I used to follow the smart goals framework and then, a couple of months ago, I started getting this download for like a slightly different variation, which has now become the clear goals framework, and clear as an acronym.
00:13:18.931 --> 00:13:33.571
So the C and clear standsAR stands for your cause, right, and so what that means is, when you're starting with a goal, you first want to start with your why We've talked about that with the mission of moving still Before you start to think about all the things that you want to do, why is this goal important to you?
00:13:33.610 --> 00:13:41.615
So I think getting really clear on the cause as the first part of goal setting is important, and then you move to the L, which is level up.
00:13:41.615 --> 00:13:43.687
And so that means how does this goal challenge you?
00:13:43.687 --> 00:13:44.890
Does this goal challenge you?
00:13:44.890 --> 00:13:52.365
Does this goal excite you right, like in a way where it stretches you right, because you don't want it to be too easy, where it's not out of your comfort zone?
00:13:52.365 --> 00:13:56.649
And so you move to L level up, making sure that the goal challenges you.
00:13:57.070 --> 00:14:03.995
The E is, it's excuse me in-game, so be very clear about your specific in-game.
00:14:03.995 --> 00:14:07.918
A lot of times when we set goals, for example, I used to struggle with my weight.
00:14:07.918 --> 00:14:11.422
I just want to lose weight, but like what does that even mean?
00:14:11.422 --> 00:14:15.057
Like how many pounds do you want to lose?
00:14:15.057 --> 00:14:15.625
Or how do you want to feel?
00:14:15.625 --> 00:14:20.346
Or is it that there's a pair of jeans that are hanging in your closet that you want to get into?
00:14:20.346 --> 00:14:29.054
So you have to be very specific about what your end game is when you start a goal and really defining that, because fuzzy targets never really get hit right.
00:14:29.125 --> 00:14:30.134
They don't motivate you.
00:14:31.147 --> 00:14:37.116
They don't motivate you right Like the universe isn't really clear on what you want, so it can't support you the hot canoes.
00:14:37.157 --> 00:14:41.354
Right, and so you have to be very specific about what the end game is and really outlining that.
00:14:41.354 --> 00:14:48.046
And then you have the A, which is accountability, and I think that this is what distinguishes this framework from some of the other ones out.
00:14:48.046 --> 00:15:08.572
There is that I ask you to think about your accountability, so whether that's a self-accountability system where you have some sort of weekly check-in and some sort of metric process if you're at this space where you can hold yourself accountable, or on the flip side of that, if you recognize that that is where you struggle, finding support and accountability and identifying that with the goal.
00:15:08.572 --> 00:15:14.716
So that might mean, hey, I'm gonna start trying to save X amount of dollars per paycheck.
00:15:14.716 --> 00:15:17.052
Can you help me to be accountable to this?
00:15:17.052 --> 00:15:18.081
Can we check in on this?
00:15:18.081 --> 00:15:22.230
Right, like identifying a person or people who can support you in this goal.
00:15:22.784 --> 00:15:26.374
And then R is about the results and just making sure that you're tracking.
00:15:26.374 --> 00:15:45.393
The way that I do this is that I follow a similar framework as the 12-week year, where I set three goals for the quarter and then I check in on those goals every week for 12 weeks, and that allows me to remain accountable, to coming back to these goals and making sure that I'm moving the needle, and so I've been doing this framework.
00:15:45.393 --> 00:15:51.134
I've been sharing it with family, friends, clients and literally it's clear right.
00:15:51.134 --> 00:16:00.190
So once you get that clear on your goal, you are much more motivated to actually see this goal through and it's top of mind for you because you're checking in on it consistently.
00:16:00.190 --> 00:16:08.989
And I found it to be such a helpful goal setting process for me on a quarterly basis, to maximize on taking action on the things that I'm trying to achieve.
00:16:09.711 --> 00:16:11.599
Wow, that is yeah and that sort of thing.
00:16:11.599 --> 00:16:19.850
So when people are struggling and they sort of feel, oh my goodness, this is all just too much, do you have a baby step where you suggest they can just start?
00:16:20.734 --> 00:16:22.057
Yeah, that's a great question.
00:16:22.057 --> 00:16:32.090
So I think the greatest thing about like this, this word clear is really starting with again thinking there's a lot of goals, right, like we can.
00:16:32.090 --> 00:16:33.455
We can be setting goals forever.
00:16:33.455 --> 00:16:37.230
I like to start with the low hanging fruit, so like what are the?
00:16:37.291 --> 00:16:45.317
what are the easiest things or goals that maybe two or three goals that you can start with, whether it's personal, professional, what can you start with?
00:16:45.317 --> 00:16:47.182
That's going to build momentum, right?
00:16:47.182 --> 00:17:03.576
So maybe if let's just say, if you are starting with weight loss and I'm always going to come back to this because this was something that I struggled with for a long time I believe in starting small and building momentum, and that's the way that I teach in my coaching program also, and so I would not advise someone to start with.
00:17:03.576 --> 00:17:08.585
I'm going to work out every day for an hour and a half and change my eating completely.
00:17:08.766 --> 00:17:12.236
It's like just pick one thing to start with and do that consistently.
00:17:12.236 --> 00:17:42.719
And so it could just be I'm going to commit to walking for 10 minutes every day, or 10 minutes of you know a few days a week, and again being very specific about what the end goal is and what the actions are going to be that you're going to take, and then do that consistently, because once you start to keep your word, you're more excited, right Like you're starting to prove to yourself that I can do this, and that's going to make you want that you're going to have the momentum to take on the bigger goals, and so my biggest advice is to start small, with low hanging fruit, and then just allow yourself to build from there.
00:17:43.266 --> 00:17:54.498
Yeah, I love that Because when, dominique, when you share that I'm thinking and the other part to put in because you have to start small, you'll get yourself so discouraged if you put this huge, big goal and then you don't start and you put it off to the next day.
00:17:54.498 --> 00:18:00.316
But to also celebrate along the way and, you know, embody that in your body.
00:18:00.316 --> 00:18:01.759
And so it's interesting.
00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:10.038
We have something called Sage Steps and it's just 10 seconds of recognizing that you're being sabotaged and you're going off in a different direction.
00:18:10.545 --> 00:18:31.159
Bring yourself back, but then celebrate the fact that you recognize that, and it could be something as simple as just smiling to yourself and going I did it, I did it, and if you're more energetic, it might be something like you're going to jump up and down and dance around, but remembering to celebrate those wins, I think you know helps to move you, to move you forward.
00:18:31.159 --> 00:18:40.632
So I love this that we've been talking about goals, because, as an accountability coach, you know there's so many different ways of coming at this, but it is so important.
00:18:40.632 --> 00:18:58.958
So how do you hold yourself accountable some way, whether it be within a mastermind, in a community, you know, on a WhatsApp chat with somebody, you know, just even telling your significant other but it's, we've got to do something, because if we don't put it out, write it down, do something, then we're going to let it go.
00:18:59.425 --> 00:19:01.212
Can I share two more stats?
00:19:02.217 --> 00:19:04.244
in regards to this clear goal framework.
00:19:04.244 --> 00:19:10.346
So when I was researching this, like I said, it was coming to me as a download and every week it was like a little bit more was coming Two things stood out.
00:19:10.346 --> 00:19:18.616
The first thing is when you when you also ask where can people start, start with writing it down, right, like a goal in your head isn't a real goal, that's just a wish, right.
00:19:18.616 --> 00:19:26.326
So with this framework, there's like an actual process of working through these steps that are like so identifying the why and like how does this challenge you?
00:19:26.326 --> 00:19:31.127
And like you're sitting down pen to paper or you know if you want to do it digitally, and you're writing it down.
00:19:31.127 --> 00:19:39.548
Just by writing it down, I found research that shows that you improve your odds of success by 20% just by writing it, not even doing anything else.
00:19:39.950 --> 00:19:42.517
The second thing is, like you said, with the accountability.
00:19:42.517 --> 00:19:56.416
There was a 2007 Gale study that was done, where you know this guy looked at folks who set goals versus folks who kind of had the loose goals and they found that by having accountability, that increases your odds by 40%.
00:19:56.416 --> 00:20:00.902
And so there's all this research that's showing that if you just write it down and you find someone to help you like.
00:20:00.902 --> 00:20:07.338
You're already 60% and accomplishing your goal, and so write it down.
00:20:07.338 --> 00:20:11.608
Find someone and you're on a much likelier path to actually achieving that goal.
00:20:12.111 --> 00:20:13.554
That is fantastic.
00:20:13.554 --> 00:20:18.190
So, dominique, as we're wrapping up with this episode, I would love for you to just share with us.
00:20:18.190 --> 00:20:24.528
I know I'm going to put a link in our show notes about your five-day email course, but this sounds fantastic.
00:20:24.528 --> 00:20:26.875
It's five days of stress detox.
00:20:26.875 --> 00:20:32.257
Tell us a little more about what they're going to get when they sign up for that five-day course.
00:20:32.884 --> 00:20:48.291
Yeah, so I am many, many things, and one of the things I am outside of being a coach and a business strategist and is I'm a yoga instructor and I'm a breathwork instructor and a meditation instructor and I have my sound bowls behind me and so I'm a somatic practitioner.
00:20:48.291 --> 00:20:50.272
That's a really nice way to sum up all of those things.
00:20:50.272 --> 00:21:04.104
So I have all of these passions and these loves, but I love the body and I love educating people about how we hold stress and trauma in the body and how our bodies hold on to fear.
00:21:04.104 --> 00:21:05.567
And you know some of the things that we talked about, and this was really the inspiration behind starting moving.
00:21:05.567 --> 00:21:11.646
Still, it was like the more that I learned about stress and trauma and how we hold it, the more that I wanted to shout from the rooftops to people about how we have to release it.
00:21:11.646 --> 00:21:26.496
And so, when it comes to stress, like unresolved stress unres that manifests into so many physical issues, so many mental and emotional issues if it's left unresolved, and so I'm very passionate about like working through your stress consistently.
00:21:26.496 --> 00:21:40.068
And another thing is, when we're stressed right, like that also stops us from connecting to our intuition, because the voice of ego and stress and fear is very loud and that intuitive voice, that guidance that we need, is very quiet.
00:21:40.068 --> 00:21:46.452
And so when you're stressed and you're in a survival state, you can't hear clearly from your intuition and get the guidance that you need.
00:21:46.854 --> 00:22:06.252
And so I created this five-day stress detox to help people to turn down fear, turn down the voice of stress, and to turn up their intuition, to allow themselves to be guided, to move to a place where they do feel open enough to go inward for those answers and recognizing that they don't have to look around externally to find everything that they need.
00:22:06.252 --> 00:22:08.016
And so it's five days.
00:22:08.016 --> 00:22:21.017
Every day, I'm giving you a somatic practice, and so there's guided breath work, there's sound healing, and then I'm giving you some accompanying journal questions to just dig into some of the things that oftentimes hold us back and stop us.
00:22:21.017 --> 00:22:37.315
And so if you're someone who constantly feels like you're stressed, you're overwhelmed, and that's just the state that you exist in and you feel called to more, this could be a really great place to start with the somatic pieces, to help calm the body down and then allow you to ground in and drop into that intuitive voice.
00:22:37.315 --> 00:22:39.719
Well, that sounds like such a beautiful gift.
00:22:40.085 --> 00:22:43.194
So I'm gonna make sure to have that link in the show notes.
00:22:43.194 --> 00:22:44.891
Where else do people find you?
00:22:44.891 --> 00:22:46.973
Do you wanna share your website with us?
00:22:47.470 --> 00:23:01.038
Yeah, so I have a new website that I've been working on for a few months that I'm super proud of now, and I started this new website because I do so many things and I had a website for this, and there's the website for moving still, and so domrcliftoncom brings everything together.
00:23:01.038 --> 00:23:13.390
You can go there and learn more about all of my worlds and all of the things that I'm passionate about, and so again, dom r and I know you said you'll drop it in the show notes that's the best place to learn more and also to get that five-day stress detox as well.
00:23:13.390 --> 00:23:14.211
Fantastic.
00:23:14.271 --> 00:23:20.309
And then on social media, instagram you shared with me, so I'll make sure to have your instagram link and then thank you.
00:23:20.309 --> 00:23:26.453
If you are a linkedin person, you'll find dominique on there, but you'll find her first on instagram.
00:23:26.453 --> 00:23:30.807
So this has been a wonderful gentle, encouraging conversations.
00:23:30.807 --> 00:23:34.673
So, thank you, and yeah, I just I love the the clear.
00:23:34.673 --> 00:23:48.738
So I'm hoping that people are going to just put this on a slow, listen and just ponder over how they can do that, and then you know, writing it down and telling somebody is going to put you on the road to success.
00:23:48.738 --> 00:23:50.391
So, dominique, thanks for joining me.
00:23:50.684 --> 00:23:51.971
Oh Carol, thank you for having me.

00:24:00.765 --> 00:24:13.474
If this conversation has inspired you, I invite you to share it with others, because there might just well be somebody that you can think of that might need to hear this and to be able to grab Dominique's five-day course just to help get rid of that stress.
00:24:13.474 --> 00:24:20.230

00:03:20.985 --> 00:03:32.448
00:03:32.448 --> 00:03:42.670
00:03:42.670 --> 00:03:55.551

00:04:35.488 --> 00:04:39.045
00:04:39.045 --> 00:04:40.651
00:04:40.651 --> 00:04:45.728
00:04:45.728 --> 00:04:50.882
00:04:51.764 --> 00:04:55.658
00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:00.091
00:05:00.091 --> 00:05:17.250
00:05:17.250 --> 00:05:32.639
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:40.541
00:05:40.541 --> 00:05:42.985
00:05:42.985 --> 00:05:50.882

00:05:51.624 --> 00:05:55.201
00:05:55.201 --> 00:06:33.250
00:06:33.250 --> 00:06:48.024
00:06:48.024 --> 00:06:56.720
00:06:57.785 --> 00:07:00.595
00:07:00.595 --> 00:07:01.526
00:07:01.526 --> 00:07:11.749
00:07:11.749 --> 00:07:14.096
00:07:14.096 --> 00:07:24.230
00:07:24.632 --> 00:07:43.514
00:07:43.514 --> 00:07:44.898
00:07:44.898 --> 00:08:06.646
00:08:06.646 --> 00:08:12.930
00:08:12.930 --> 00:08:16.817
00:08:16.817 --> 00:08:21.096
00:08:21.156 --> 00:08:38.210
00:08:38.210 --> 00:08:42.734
00:08:42.734 --> 00:08:47.573

00:09:26.974 --> 00:09:28.566
00:09:28.566 --> 00:09:42.956
00:09:43.846 --> 00:10:03.272
00:10:03.272 --> 00:10:04.154
00:10:04.154 --> 00:10:13.553
00:10:13.553 --> 00:10:15.350
00:10:15.350 --> 00:10:29.894
00:10:30.355 --> 00:10:43.535
00:10:43.535 --> 00:10:49.206
00:10:49.206 --> 00:11:00.767
00:11:00.767 --> 00:11:06.890
00:11:07.010 --> 00:11:10.148
00:11:10.148 --> 00:11:16.613
00:11:16.613 --> 00:11:18.692
00:11:18.692 --> 00:11:23.513
00:11:23.513 --> 00:11:40.812
00:11:41.413 --> 00:11:41.995
00:11:41.995 --> 00:11:45.770
00:11:45.770 --> 00:11:49.648
00:11:49.648 --> 00:12:00.645
00:12:00.645 --> 00:12:18.044
00:12:18.044 --> 00:12:33.399
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:36.961
00:12:38.065 --> 00:12:47.131
00:12:47.131 --> 00:12:48.192
