In this episode of The Art of Imperfect Adulting, Amy Stone speaks with Dominique Levesque about the realities of rebuilding a life from the ground up after sudden upheaval. Dominique shares the challenges she faced after losing everything, including her business and community in Central America, and how she transformed the crisis into a journey of healing, self-truth, and creating new belonging from within.

About the Guest:

Dominique Levesque is an intuitive coach and color energy healer. She helps sensitive, soul-led humans reconnect with their inner wisdom through color, aura work, and sacred geometry.

Main Topics Covered:

• The experience and reality of being a global nomad
• Losing everything: sudden business loss and expulsion from a chosen community
• How conditioning shapes decisions, risk, and belonging
• Survival mode and rebuilding from the inside out
• The power of intuition, somatic wisdom, and self-acceptance
• Creating authentic community versus seeking belonging at any cost
• Embodying learned knowledge and setting new personal guide rails

"When you're living from your conditioning, you're always losing because you're not aligned. And there are a lot of choices to make in that not alignment. And those choices are hard because you have to look at yourself and you have to understand, see the red flags and have people that care enough to really tell you what is going on." — Dominique Levesque
