    No Turning Back: A Poetic Reflection on Growth

    In this episode of The Written Willow, we explore what happens when the life you asked for finally arrives—and it's not what you were expecting. Dominique reflects on the disorienting space between who you were and who you're becoming. That stretch. The urge to retreat. The realization that there's no returning to what once felt safe. Through poetry, storytelling, and gentle reflection, this episode honors the moment when you've outgrown the dark...but you aren't quite at home in the light. If you've been quietly evolving and wondering if it's okay to feel overwhelmed by your own becoming—this one's for you. Thank you for resting beneath the Willow.

    Water—Once A Day

    What do you do with the dreams you hold, but have yet to plant? In this episode, we explore the emotional terrain that exists before the bloom—the fear, the hesitation, the quiet what-ifs that keep us from starting. I read my poem "Potential" and reflect on the courage it takes to water something before you ever see it grow. This one's for anyone who's ever felt stuck in their own soil.

    Blooming Where You Are Planted

    In this first episode of The Written Willow, we explore what it means to grow in places that feel barren—where support is scarce and the timing feels all wrong. I reflect on the quiet strength it took to keep going after the loss of both my parents, and share a poem I wrote called "Resilience". This episode is an invitation to rise anyway...to bloom even in your Winter.  Thank you for resting beneath the Willow.
