Today we’d like to introduce you to Dominique D. Wilson.
Dominique, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
Hey! I’m the creator of the Yes To You Podcast and founder of Rohini Wellness—a personal growth company with a mission of empowering women to love themselves, lead with purpose, and live their dream. As a speaker and mentor, I help women to empower their mindset and express themselves with confidence so that they can achieve their goals of personal freedom and fulfillment.
Using my voice to help others succeed has been a lifelong passion. But, it wasn’t until a devastating divorce in 2012 that I stepped fully into my true calling as a conscious leader. The divorce forced me to wake up and take a closer look at my value system. I saw how the way I had previously been choosing to show up was out of alignment with my dreams, and that I had the power to transform my pain into purpose by choosing to make better choices.
That’s when I found the courage to rebuild my life on a foundation of self-love and see adversity as my greatest teacher so that I could empower other women to do the same. What began as a small Etsy shop with handmade, holistic self-care products inspired by my self-healing journey has now blossomed into a personal growth company.
I founded Rohini Wellness to turn my mission into a movement! I have facilitated over 40 workshops and specialize in communication, personal growth, holistic health, and online content creation. I am also a trauma-informed Naturopathic Reiki Master Teacher and the creator of Launch Already, a 5-week holistic business mentorship program.
When I’m not working—I am a homeschooling mom who enjoys spending quality time with family, sizzling up new vegetarian recipes, playing my acoustic guitar, yoga, and traveling.
My motto is: “You get to choose how you show up in life. Love yourself fiercely, own your story, and say YES to your calling!”
Has it been a smooth road?
One of my biggest struggles starting out was getting clarity on the difference between my passions and my calling as an entrepreneur. I am passionate about many things, but they don’t all need to show up in my business – some things are just for me! I had to learn that narrowing my focus was essential for me to show up more authentically and truly be of service to others.
The next struggle was getting out of my own way. For so long, I felt like an impostor for having a voice and a powerful message. I had to learn how to start giving myself permission to be all of me, and not hide pieces in the shadows for fear of what others might think. This meant saying ‘yes’ to public speaking opportunities and finally launching the Yes To You Podcast (after seven years of ‘planning’ a.k.a. procrastination). It’s far from perfect, but it’s a start. And, the heartfelt responses from my audience fill me with joy and gratitude that I have another platform from which to be of greater service to others. I overcome this ego-based struggle by remembering that I have a mission to fulfill through my life’s work and therefore, my purpose is bigger than me.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Rohini Wellness story. Tell us more about the business.
Rohini Wellness is a personal growth company with a mission of empowering women to love themselves, lead with purpose and live their dream. As a speaker and mentor, I specialize in helping women to empower their mindset and express themselves with confidence so that they can achieve their goals of personal freedom and fulfillment.
As a speaker, I am known for my enthusiastic, inspirational approach to just about any topic. I enjoy connecting with my audience and engaging them in a process of transformation that motivates them to take action on their goals right away. As a mentor, I am known for my resourcefulness, reliability, and honesty.
I am most proud of the evolution of Rohini Wellness from an idea, to a decision, to a process, to a mission, and now a movement. I am excited about the road ahead as I continue to increase my brand awareness and empower more women.
What sets me apart from other influencers in my industry is my story… my ‘why.’ Rohini Wellness is my story of what’s possible when you love yourself fiercely and say ‘yes’ to you. Everything I provide is based on my unique experiences and perspective of what has worked for me and made me into the woman I am today.
How do you think the industry will change over the next decade?
In the next 5-10 years, I see a lot more women of color podcasting, speaking, becoming published authors, and creating video content online to share their stories and inspire others. By creating our own platforms, I see increased collaboration across disciplines in the self-help, wellness, arts, and business arenas.
I also believe the number of holistic practitioners and conscious entrepreneurs will skyrocket. This will lead to an increased desire for collaboration between brands so that growth continues on an individual and collective level.
