The PurposeGirl Podcast: Empowering women to live their purpose with courage, joy, and fierce self-love.

You ever have that feeling that you should be happier than you are? Maybe you think that in general, things are going pretty OK in your life, and for sure a lot of people have it worse than you do, and yet you feel like you should be happier? You wonder what’s wrong with you? I’ll out myself and say that yes, I’ve been there many times in my life. If this at all resonates for you, then I’ve got the best guest for you! Today I’m sitting down with Dominique Velasquez to talk about:

The guilt that comes from feeling that you have no good reason to be anxious or unhappy
The search for external validation
Her struggles with opioids
Her amazing recovery (and how my podcast helped!!! – I am so grateful to know this!!!)
Her key understanding that the problem is not the circumstance in which we find ourselves, it’s... (you’ll have to listen to hear the rest!)
The devastating effect of shame
How the tools that Dominique has developed help other women to feel fulfilled and whole inside
Dominique’s PIVOTT program

About Dominique Velasquez

I spent my life trying to prove my worth by achieving things. However, there was no achievement big enough to fill the hole I had in my heart. I kept feeling empty like something was missing, and I just could not figure out why. I’d smile and put on a happy face to the world, but internally I was dying. In 2010 I got diagnosed with endometriosis, & quickly found myself fully addicted to opiates in desperation to numb the pain. At that time in my life, I looked to have it all, but I felt empty & unfulfilled! Constantly thinking “What is wrong with me?” I was dripping in shame from living a double life, pretending to be fine. The shame of being found out stopped me from seeking the treatment that I desperately wanted. I truly believed that my worth came from outside of me. Then I discovered self-development, and my life took a 180-degree pivot. I quickly learned that everything I needed was inside me and that I am the creator of my life. My purpose is to guide women in discovering that everything they need is inside them.

232 VISIONARY Masterclass

I didn’t build my business on social media - I built it by speaking on stages. My big dream was to be impactful like Oprah, and though I had no mentor, I figured it out. I spoke at AVON and for Victoria’s Secret execs. For Capital One and at Women’s conferences.

I LOVED IT!

I made an impact, I made money, AND, nearly every time I spoke, I got clients! But then... I kept seeing all of these other coaches making $1 Million in 6 months! I felt so inadequate.

Ads started screaming at me on Facebook: Get 10,000 followers! Get my cash coach system! My brain start obsessing about social media posts and (ugh -) Likes. I felt like a loser and even though my business did “well” I felt rotten.

When companies shut down during the pandemic, speaking was off the table - So I hired an expensive coach who got me to raise my prices. It was fun and I was successful, but I was still anxious. My mind dreaded the social media hustle. I felt bored of all the coaching. And empty. I got into this to teach Happiness, but I was unhappy.

So I hit the RESET button. I looked deep within and remembered: Carin - you’re here to move the masses. I did not get into this to coach a few. I did not get into this to obsessively feel defeated against algorithms.

I did not get into this to SELL! SELL! SELL! I’m here for massive impact. I’m here to start a Revolution.

Can you relate? Does this resonate? If so, then stick around, because this episode is the audio from my VISIONARY MasterClass, in which I spilled the beans on:

How I created a REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT.
How I created a paid speaking biz
What I’ve learned so you do it better

In the VISIONARY Masterclass, you'll learn:

My 4 Step ROCKSTAR Plan
The EXACT steps I took to speak to tens of thousands of people, to be on national radio, and to have a podcast in the top 20 for mental health in 30+ countries
How to create a business that is full of EASE, is FUN, and FLOWS clients to you

You will walk away feeling EXCITED about your work again, HOPEFUL about possibilities, and READY with a plan of ACTION to ROCK your MISSION!!!

And at the end of this Masterclass I invite participants to join me in my brand new ROCKSTAR Mentorship, which you can learn about here: https://carinrockind.com/rockstar

234 Taking Control of Our Relationship with Money

I grew up the grandchild of Holocaust survivors. My grandparents fled Europe and came to the United States with nothing, and their experiences understandably left them with concerns about money and scarcity. Some of this rubbed off on me, along with my own experiences growing up around people who had far more money than I did (not that I wanted for anything). And as a result, I ended up with my own set of issues around money. Today’s episode is a bit of a departure for me, since I rarely focus on money, but that’s what we’re diving into today.
