To celebrate your Mom’s life…I went back and listened to what will now be a cherished and beautiful last interview. You are both classy, smart, authentic and kind. Your relationship is a true gift that will live on in your heart forever. May Audrey rest in peace and may we all be inspired by her life. XO
I suspect there will be many people re-watching this podcast, just to see dear Audrey, and you, together one more time. I just noticed my previous comment from 2 months ago, and I loved it then. My thoughts are with you ❤️
I'm re-watching this following the very sad news of Audrey's passing. What a blessing it is that we have this video and are still able to watch Audrey and her memory can live on for us. So full of fun and wisdom, thank you for the joy, Audrey and God Bless you ❤
Rest in Peace beautiful Audrey. Your legacy will live on. Prayers offered for You, Dominique, Styles, Oscar and all those who will miss your smile and contagious laughter.
Dominique, I am so sorry for your loss 😢 It is such a shock finding out your dear mom passed away. My prayers are with you and Styles 🙏🏻 Audrey was a delight and she inspired us to live healthy lives and be joyful in hope. She was a beautiful teacher and I will miss her in your videos 😢
As many have commented, after hearing of your beautiful mother's passing, i revisited this episode. Your mutual adoration and respect for one another is beautiful to watch. What a gift that you could both express your appreciation and love for one another. We are not promised tomorrow and you made sure to let her know daily. My heart breaks for you and all those that loved her. Lifting you up in prayer for comfort and peace as you remember her.
I missed these last few months, and just found out about your dear mother passing away suddenly. And, wow, this interview was so moving to me. Please accept my condolences, I hope your are comforted by all you shared and have had with your mom while she was with you. You are never alone, she and all of us cheer you on! Thank you for sharing both your lives and mother and daughter relationship with us!
This is definitely an example of mourning someone you never even met. This woman was such an inspiration and was so full of joy and just loved life. RIParadise, sweet Audrey! ❤
I watch this video over and over with tears in my eyes and simply cannot believe that just few months after this was taken Audrey passed away. She was so full of life and lived such a healthy lifestyle, and seemed to have many more good years ahead of her. As I understand she went out to dinner with some friends and then just in the middle of dinner had a major heart attack. She took such good care of herself with exercise, yoga and diet.... I just don't get. Audrey you will be missed by so many... Rest in peace sweet lady. ♥️♥️
I am watching this video again in loving memory of Audrey. I admired her tenacious and vibrate outlook on life. Age doesn't stop you, Audrey exampled that. I will definitely miss you! RIP
Losing a mother is very hard on their daughters but about 49 minutes in this podcast, your mom talked about you and I could feel her pride in how self sufficient you have been. Some of those other comments at the end were very fortuitous and meaningful that you can take with you forever.
Thank you so much for bringing your mother on. I am 71 & recently separated so needless to say I have been feeling a little old. What a wonderful inspiration she is and I would love to have a friend like her!!!!
I was my mother's primary caregiver. I was very close to my mom and loved her always. I felt it was truly a privilege for me to care for her. I am her only daughter and I championed her . She came from a generation that offered her very little autonomy. When my dad passed, I decided I would remind her and support her that she can do and have whatever it was she wanted without feeling the need to ask my dad first. I miss her deeply and always will. Stay loving and stay close to each other. You won't regret it. Great Podcast Dominique!! Thank you!
Enjoyed hearing the mom chat. My mom passed a year ago at 93.5. She was the longest living relative. In her latter years I became her "parent." The last year was very challenging, but I'm glad we had that concentrated time together. ❤
Your Mom is so articulate, well-read, interesting, kind and lovely. I love how she so well describes you and how much she respects and admires you. Would that all mothers and daughters would have that kindred spirit that you have with each other. You are truly blessed. ❤
This was my favorite podcast in all the years listening to you, Dominique. My mother was Polish descent, and my father was Italian descent, and they were married for 69 years and boy with a foundation I received. While it was painful to lose her, I have 1 million pictures to look at and so many videos, and so many childhood memories that it fills my heart and soul every single day. I am a very positive and loving person because of the great relationship I have with my mother. God bless you for setting the highest bar on how to treat our parents. I hope everybody sees this video.
I love your mom. She reminds me so much of my grandmother who passed. I talk "to" her everyday as I'm sure you will with your mom, Dominique. Let her live on through you. Honor her. You got this. 💗. I'm happy you have this to look back on. It doesn't end here on earth.
My dad who is 87 whistles all the time and I love to hear him. From a young age, I can remember him whistling. I knew he was in a good mood when he whistled. Your mom, just wow…what a beautiful vibrant woman.
Oh my gosh, I cried at the end when your mom talked about you so sweetly, and you told your mom how grateful you were for her. I am seriously crying. So sweet and wonderful. I am close to my mom so this really touched me
Such a blessing that you have this. I’m in tears watching this as a Houstonian and long time follower of yours, my heart hurts. She was a lovely lady and your Mother/Daughter relationship was a joy to watch. God Bless you all.
One thing that I've come to realize 59 years into life is that Mr Right doesn't always come in the package you imagined he would. My husband is incredibly kind, loving, and stable. That man loves me fiercely! But I struggled a little bit in the beginning because he wasn't in the package I thought he would be. I think I'm the luckiest girl in the world, and I can't believe he was out there, available, and ripe for the picking. He is the grand prize.
You are so perfect for this podcast platform. Dominique, you are a masterful interviewer… you know by instinct how to lead the guests into fantastic answers!! Loved this!!
I had not seen this before, but really wanted to watch after I heard of Audrey’s passing. I’m so glad I saw this. What a wise, charming and full of life woman she was. Such a wonderful mother and daughter relationship. I wish I had the same with my mother. I have to say what a great guest she was! Not a boring moment! She and your father did give you a great foundation, which is so important because you are an intelligent, talented beautiful woman Domenic. I know you will find the kind of man your mother wishes for you! My condolences again. You can still talk to your mom everyday in keeping with your tradition… she’s always with you! 🙏
Dominique, what a class act your Mother is! She could not be more kind, supportive, wise or loving. You can see in her eyes how she respects you and adores you. She is one of God's great blessings in your life. I know you know this and that you rejoice in every day you have together. Blessings to both of you dear ones.❤❤❤
This is the video every woman wishes they had of their mother. This will be one, if not your most, cherished possession. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I have watched this podcast twice in tribute to your mother admiring her wisdom, her laugh and her beautiful from inside to outside . RIP Mrs Audrey 🌹🙏
What a very special podcast. It is wonderful to see such a special relationship. My Mom is 98 and slipping away from me with Alzheimers, but we still connect in person 3-4 times a week. There are times ,when she is totally present and I cherish the time. My wish for you and your Mother, is that you never lose that ability to connect. Thank you for such a special gift.
My hugs, love and deepest condolences to you and your family. Your relationship with your mom echoes the one I had with my mom before dementia overtook her spirit. You were both blessed to have each other and to get to know each other past a typical mother and daughter relationship. May her memory be eternal.
Dominique and Audrey, this was a magnificent podcast!…I cried through the entire podcast, but was so motivated by it all…I lost my mother when I was 43 yo..she was 69…I also lost our first grandchild/grandson 8 years ago…he was 22 months old.,,to say you and your Mom are blessed is an understatement!…I am also working on recovering from a broken pelvic bone, at 66yo!…your Mom gave me SO much encouragement just by listening to her!…I adore you both, and want to say thank you both for touching my soul so deeply with this podcast!…much love and appreciation to you both!…God Bless!💜🙏
Your Mom is a young 87. I love her outlook on life, her eating and exercise routine, and her positive attitude that radiates inner beauty. At 73, I totally agree with her healthy lifestyle. We have to keep moving and eat nutritious and healthy food. I also take several supplements each day. Thanks, Dominique, for a wonderful video!
Hi Dominique. You are so blessed to still have your mother with you. I think you two are just so beautiful and e. Happy mother's day to both of you.big hugs
I enjoyed hearing your mom's perspective on life and aging and living fully. Next time you chat, please ask her about: a) dating and finding companionship. The good, bad, and ugly! It would all help others who are just beginning that chapter of their lives b) Does your mom still drive? c) what's her advice on personal finances for older women?. Especially making sure we have enough to live. I'm terrified of being, old and broke.
If you consistently live beneath your means, it is highly unlikely you will end up broke. Having said that, there are lots of RUclips videos about retirement and finances.
I always remember who got me to start saving. I was listening to Suzie Orman, the financial guru and she said that you need to start putting money in your savigs, pension, IRA etc, when you are young, so I did and was able to retire at 60!
I have come back to watch this having just read your sad yet beautiful post about your mother’s passing. It has been a joy to watch you both together clearly enjoying each other’s company, looking back and forward. Wonderful. My thoughts are with you.
Ms. Audrey, I enjoy seeing you, so beautiful, authentic, grateful, stylish and tasteful. You’re still doing you with healthy eating, working out daily, and intermittent fasting, I love it! Thank you for your wisdom. Dominique, what a good Podcast. Thank you,
Dominique, I enjoyed this so much! I smiled, laughed and cried. I miss my momma so much! You are truly blessed with Ms Audrey! She is as cute as button. Love your podcast also. ❤❤
I’m watching this after you video speaking of your grief of your mother’s passing, That video had me in tears. It was so touching. Such a tribute to your mother. You are so very lucky to have had this fabulous lady as your mother and to have this video to watch for years to come. May God wrap his arms around you through this rocky season.
Hi Dominque, I can relate to this so much. I have a 92 year old Mom who lives on her own in her 1 bedroom apartment. I too am an only child. I talk to her everyday and taker her out to do her shopping and what not. She is sharp as a tack. Loves her iPad! We have always been close and of course I too am now in the role of caretaker and I am happy to do it! We are so lucky to have our Moms with us. Every day is a gift! I am so Blessed. Love your channel!
What a blessing to be able to talk to your Mom… be with your mom and just listen to her. I lost my Mom when she was 88 and I miss her every day. …always just drink up everything She says… there’s so many questions. I still wish I could ask my mother… if you think of a question or something that you’d like to know about in the past ask her …what a treasure❤❤ ❤just saying 🙏🏻
What a blessing Dominique recorded this precious video just in time. Audrey will always be a National Treasure, and will be dearly missed! Many pearls of wisdom she left for us to glean from. Dominique, am praying for you and Styles. So glad you have The Lord to hang onto and draw from in this time. Love you Sister, and God richly bless you as you navigate through this new season.
You are blessed to have your Mom 🙏🏻 my mom passed at 69 yrs old from a brain tumor 22 yrs ago. I was only 47. It was so hard for me. She and I spoke everyday 😢 something’s money can’t buy this is one of them ❤
That’s exactly happened to me. But my mom was only 66! I was 47 too, like you. I still miss her. I wish I could at least call her in heaven, and talk to her! 😉❤️
I can empathize too. I lost my mother when she was 65, she'd had serious health problems all her life and always knew she wouldn't have a very long lifespan. You were spot-on Dominique about both health and longevity being such incredible blessings. It's so important to be grateful.
What a wonderful podcast! Your mother is truly a blessing! I will be 78 in July and still work! I work for Dillard's and am truly blessed for this company! They are like family! I am always surrounded by wonderful employees and customers that have become friends!!
What a beautiful mother daughter relationship... Dominique you are so blessed. I lost my mother 22 years ago and I miss her every single day. I wish I had more time with her
I really enjoyed hearing your exchange! My mother passed earlier this year and we had a similar relationship. Enjoy every minute of your time together on this side of heaven.
Fabulous podcast! I’d love to see you do a Part 2 with Audrey. She’s certainly a joy to watch & listen to along with you. Hobbies, TV Shows she loves, what her favorite movies, who's her favorite actor & actress, if she could share 24 hours with 1 person dead or alive who would it be, etc etc 🤣🤣
Just watched this first time after your Moms passing. What a beautiful tribute to your Mom and to the bond you had for each other. My mom passed in October last year. May you hold the memories close to your heart. ❤
So incredible that we have this recording of you guys, I was so impressed when I saw it before, It was the first time I'd met your mom. I had this kind of relationship with my mama, but only after a 30-year rough start. We worked at fixing things between us, and it worked. She was always my best friend, but I became one of hers for the last 25 years. She's been on her next journey for the last 10 years. I miss her, and as soon as I do, she sends a message that only she could send. Audrey. The forever incredible Audrey.
Dominique, Thank you so much for bringing your Mom on again. Watching the interaction between the two of you is fabulous. MOM NEEDS HER OWN PLATFORM! She would definitely have her own audience. She said it herself; she's a rebel. I am so proud of her that she is "Doordashing" (love that), using Uber, and is open to learning new technology. You are both class acts. Love from New Hampshire. ❤❤
I too watched this video again wanting to enjoy the lovely Audrey after learning of her passing. You are so richly blessed to have had such an amazing relationship. You were a wonderful daughter to Audrey, I could see the love and respect you had for each other. It will be painful for a while Dominque especially missing those daily phone calls, but think of all the great memories you have. I loved how you were both patting the dog while doing the video. God Bless you, you've gone through so much, stay strong. You are a delight.
I had my mom with me until 2 years ago she lived to be 1001/2 years old. She was healthy and with it until the end. We so enjoyed each other she was the family historian and I miss her stories. Life is so precious thank you both for sharing yours,❤
None of us knows how long we get to have this life, but what Audrey modeled so beautifully is the importance of enjoying and celebrating the time you do have. She understood the power of taking great care of yourself and your relationships, so that you can maintain quality of life all the way up to the end. What a special spirit! THANKS for sharing her with us, Dominique -xo
Audrey - what a beautiful woman, on many levels, rest in peace. And how fast life moves on. Month of May was just here. Another reminder to treasure every day God is giving us. Thoughts and prayers for you, Dominique.
My sweet little mom has been gone 30 years, and I think of her every day how she blessed me! I was an only child and your relationship with Audrey reminds me of my own with my mom. I so enjoyed this!
Like you, I recognized at a young age that honestly my parents needed to go separate ways. They finally realized that. I stayed with my dad. Looking back, I am now 49 - I always knew my dad was amazing but how amazing he really was for taking on the challenge of raising a daughter. In the 37 years with my father we never ever had one cross word. Unfortunately he fell at his house, hitting his head and dying from that fall. My world I felt like ended, the person that was my go to was no longer there. Its been 13 years now since his passing and the pain is still there but I also laugh daily about something he might of said about a situation. I am also the only child. My dad was 1 of 16, yes 16. So I had lots of aunts and uncles but all in another state. So, as a only child I had to figure out life alone - and I was absolutely ok with that. The man I married, 14 years older than me has 3 children. All grown with kids of their own. So, at 35 I bacome a wife, step mom and grandma all on the same day lol. I wouldn't have it any other way. It was a little challenging- mainly because I must have my alone time and down time. Anyway...love the podcast! I could go on all night - just typing this brought back happy memories of my dad:)
I LOVE this conversation as (I am currently 64 y.o.) I was BLESSED to know 4 of my grandparents . . . . they died when I was 6, 8, 12 and 19. I relish the stories they told of past generations, changes they had observed in their lives, etc. . . . . . . . I try to pass those stories down to my 4 children and 4 grandchildren because it is becoming very uncommon for kids to really know their grandparents let along their grand-parents !!!! your mother is a darling and your respect and love for your mom is so evident !!!!
Such a beautiful and lively mom of your, Dominique. Thank you for sharing her with us. I wish you knew how much she inspires us, and will forever! I am 56, and am lucky to have both my parents alive but not as lively as her to her very last minute. May she rest in peace in a beautiful place now! My condolences in your grief, dear Dominique. You are pure gold and she was too! Thank you, thank you both from my heart! 🌹
Sweet Domingue this is totally crushing to hear of your beautiful mothers passing. I instantly had to rewatch this incredible podcast. What a cherished wonderful memory! You truly are the daughter everyone wishes they had! Your mom had incredible beauty, integrity, class and kindness. I am absolutely heartbroken for your unbearable loss. I lost my mother six months ago and it honestly is a daily tremendous hardship. I will pray for you and dear Audrey R.I.P. you will be so missed in this world. 💔
I've been unwaveringly committed to how I allocate my time on social media. Dominque's graciousness coupled with consistently intriguing and interesting content has repeatedly made my time worthwhile. I'm excited for more!
Good morning Dominque, what an incredible warm and adorable podcast with your mom! I was moved to tears, seeing how much gentle love, loving love, wisdom and grace the two of you have for one another. I have seen past interviews as well and have always enjoyed listening to your mothers wisdom and thoughts. I too was blessed to have been raised by such a graceful and elegant mother. Motherhood, and the beloved role we mother's are given by bringing new souls and life into our world is a "gift" like non other! Your mothers' testimony to you brought "tears to my eyes"..as it felt my own mothers' words ring through...even though she has been gone for 18 years! I loved your description of how our parents are a "Launchpad" for the next generation.....brilliant. I am now also referring to this amazing gift we pass along to our own children and now grandchildren as a grounding "anchor" a "steady mast ",in what at times can be a "stormy sea" but we are given that opportunity to be that "one", that "go to" person, "MOM", that brought us into the world. I too was gifted to hold my own mother's hand, whisper quietly to her, about the amazing gift and job she did with me as a mother, and my siblings along with her 7 beautiful grandchildren. We carry our moms in our hearts, minds and souls forever. She is with you every day......and her" light now shines on through you ",Dominque. I think I see another "title" coming for your "next book" perhaps, too. How about "Launchpad". Dedicated to your Mom....:) The lessons, we have learned from our mothers....I know I could have written more than one book by now, but "life"...is busy and grandkids...come running in the door now....:):):):)....so no time...to sit and write...but maybe one day!! Ha..a Ha! Heres' to all our Mothers, Grandmothers, Aunties, and more... that gifted us with "gentle loving embraces from the beginning".....and never truly ending even once they have passed. Best to you Dominque:) The journey continues.......:)
I’m 62 and listening to your mum Audrey has given me a bit of a wake up call today when I’m feeling a tad unfit! What an inspiration she is I could listen to her all day. She is living proof that you can look amazing when living a healthy,fit life. 😘🇬🇧
I watched this and truly felt the love and pride of both mom and daughter. I lost my mom last year and still hear her wisdom, her voice and miss her every day. God Bless . We were fortunate.
Amazing podcast and thank you for sharing your mother with us. You are truly blessed to have her. My mother passed away on Mother's Day in 2014 and I miss her everyday!
I lost my mother last September and know exactly how you feel, it is a loss like no other. You had the most beautiful and wonderful mother… you are both in my prayers…let God heal your ❤
I cant even put into words exactly how i feel watching this. BEAUTIFUL is a start. This was my first Mothers Day without my mother. This podcast was golden!!
Dominique you are blessed to have your mother at 87. My maternal grandmother passed at 100 and I thought my healthy mom would live a long time too. Unfortunately she did not. We had a great relationship like you and Audrey. Audrey, you are enchanting! Dominique, you and I are a lot alike. I can be extroverted and introverted also. When I was growing up, I liked to watch tv, read and play in my room by myself. I also enjoyed being with friends and family. I HAVE to have my alone time now or I get anxious. Great podcast (video)!❤
you are so blessed to have your Mom. she's a knockout, love seeing her. hope to see her a little more, when ever Audrey is able to. I was 22 when I lost my Mom she was just 52 when she passed 5 days after Christmas. never thought I'd lose her so soon. she only met one granddaughter, which is my daughter she had turned 1 yr.old. yep lucky, you still have a wonderful Mom. thanks I enjoyed it very much take care and stay safe.
I loved it! Mother daughter having a nice conversation and being as you said candid and respectful in the process. Elegance comes to mind when I see you both but most importantly love and gratitude for each other. These two go a long way in making this relationship so meaningful. 💯 admiration! Thank you for another lovely podcast.
I am watching this Podcast for the second time. I am still in shock to know she is no more. Rest in Peace beautiful Audrey. Your legacy will live on. Prayers offered for You, Dominique, Styles, Oscar and all those who will miss your smile and contagious laughter.
What a beautiful podcast / video. I had a similar relationship with my Mom who unfortunately has had Altzheimers for the last 7 years. I see her physically but she cannot even communicate, let alone recognize anyone. I miss our conversations so much. You and your mom are truly blessed and I wish you many many years of togetherness.
Bless you, my best friend who is my sister has dementia/Alzheimer’s, she just has her 73rd birthday, she was diagnosed at age 69, I feel your pain, my sister still knows who we are but she can’t communicate, she tries and it’s heartbreaking that she can’t finish a sentence and she tries, I usually can guess what she’s trying to say. 🙏🏻❤️
What a good listen / watch this chat with you and your mama was, Dominique. You moved me to tears with your acknowledgement of the importance of valuing that mother/daughter bond while you have it and how those of us without our mamas miss them dearly. I was blessed with a close and loving relationship with both my mother (who passed when I was in my 30s) and mother-in-law who entered my life three years later and was there for me +18 years. I treasure and miss them both, and so appreciate the love and candour that you have both shared with the rest of us. Thank you both.

I had to go back and see this interview again. Your mom was so vibrant and taught us all how to live life to the fullest! RIP Audrey…💖
I did the same. I was shocked when I saw her post on IG. Her mother was still vibrant and life looked good on her. RIP.
Me too😢
Me too
Me too...

To celebrate your Mom’s life…I went back and listened to what will now be a cherished and beautiful last interview. You are both classy, smart, authentic and kind. Your relationship is a true gift that will live on in your heart forever. May Audrey rest in peace and may we all be inspired by her life. XO

She was so proud of you.
I suspect there will be many people re-watching this podcast, just to see dear Audrey, and you, together one more time. I just noticed my previous comment from 2 months ago, and I loved it then. My thoughts are with you ❤️

I never thought Ms. Audrey was going to leave us anytime soon. I’m still shocked she’s gone. She was Awesome! Truly. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Your mom is an inspiration! I love her mental clarity, her wits, especially her loving gaze on you! She is so poised and elegant! God bless her!
I was my mother's primary caregiver. I was very close to my mom and loved her always. I felt it was truly a privilege for me to care for her. I am her only daughter and I championed her . She came from a generation that offered her very little autonomy. When my dad passed, I decided I would remind her and support her that she can do and have whatever it was she wanted without feeling the need to ask my dad first. I miss her deeply and always will. Stay loving and stay close to each other. You won't regret it. Great Podcast Dominique!! Thank you!

My dad who is 87 whistles all the time and I love to hear him. From a young age, I can remember him whistling. I knew he was in a good mood when he whistled. Your mom, just wow…what a beautiful vibrant woman.
I just rewatched this episode… after Audrey passed…. It has a whole different level of “lovely”
Precious keepsake. Watching this helps me grieve the loss of Our Audrey. Her love of Dominique was over the scales. ❤
Oh my gosh, I cried at the end when your mom talked about you so sweetly, and you told your mom how grateful you were for her. I am seriously crying. So sweet and wonderful. I am close to my mom so this really touched me
I’m a huge Audrey fan. What an incredible gift of wisdom and beauty she is. ❤
Such a blessing that you have this. I’m in tears watching this as a Houstonian and long time follower of yours, my heart hurts. She was a lovely lady and your Mother/Daughter relationship was a joy to watch. God Bless you all.
Same. I’ve watched Dom her entire career. And found her YT in 2017. My heart breaks. ❤
One thing that I've come to realize 59 years into life is that Mr Right doesn't always come in the package you imagined he would. My husband is incredibly kind, loving, and stable. That man loves me fiercely! But I struggled a little bit in the beginning because he wasn't in the package I thought he would be. I think I'm the luckiest girl in the world, and I can't believe he was out there, available, and ripe for the picking. He is the grand prize.
Good perspective!
I can't believe Audrey was 88 years young. So sharp and beautiful ❤️
You are so perfect for this podcast platform. Dominique, you are a masterful interviewer… you know by instinct how to lead the guests into fantastic answers!! Loved this!!
Now looking back .how lucky we are to have this precious video..sorry for your incredible loss..
I had not seen this before, but really wanted to watch after I heard of Audrey’s passing. I’m so glad I saw this. What a wise, charming and full of life woman she was. Such a wonderful mother and daughter relationship. I wish I had the same with my mother. I have to say what a great guest she was! Not a boring moment! She and your father did give you a great foundation, which is so important because you are an intelligent, talented beautiful woman Domenic. I know you will find the kind of man your mother wishes for you! My condolences again. You can still talk to your mom everyday in keeping with your tradition… she’s always with you! 🙏
Dominique, what a class act your Mother is! She could not be more kind, supportive, wise or loving. You can see in her eyes how she respects you and adores you. She is one of God's great blessings in your life. I know you know this and that you rejoice in every day you have together. Blessings to both of you dear ones.❤❤❤
This is the video every woman wishes they had of their mother. This will be one, if not your most, cherished possession. Thank you for sharing it with us.
She was a sweetheart! You're blessed to have had a mom like her. 💕💗💗💗
Love this podcast. A blessing to still have your Mom here to enjoy these beautiful moments.
What a privilege to have this video now. ❤ Sending you strength
I have watched this podcast twice in tribute to your mother admiring her wisdom, her laugh and her beautiful from inside to outside .
RIP Mrs Audrey 🌹🙏
Your mom is adorable… I love seeing older women still looking fabulous and full of life and positivity! ❤️
What a very special podcast. It is wonderful to see such a special relationship. My Mom is 98 and slipping away from me with Alzheimers, but we still connect in person 3-4 times a week. There are times ,when she is totally present and I cherish the time. My wish for you and your Mother, is that you never lose that ability to connect. Thank you for such a special gift.
My hugs, love and deepest condolences to you and your family. Your relationship with your mom echoes the one I had with my mom before dementia overtook her spirit. You were both blessed to have each other and to get to know each other past a typical mother and daughter relationship. May her memory be eternal.
Dominique and Audrey, this was a magnificent podcast!…I cried through the entire podcast, but was so motivated by it all…I lost my mother when I was 43 yo..she was 69…I also lost our first grandchild/grandson 8 years ago…he was 22 months old.,,to say you and your Mom are blessed is an understatement!…I am also working on recovering from a broken pelvic bone, at 66yo!…your Mom gave me SO much encouragement just by listening to her!…I adore you both, and want to say thank you both for touching my soul so deeply with this podcast!…much love and appreciation to you both!…God Bless!💜🙏
Your Mom is a young 87. I love her outlook on life, her eating and exercise routine, and her positive attitude that radiates inner beauty. At 73, I totally agree with her healthy lifestyle. We have to keep moving and eat nutritious and healthy food. I also take several supplements each day. Thanks, Dominique, for a wonderful video!
Hi Dominique. You are so blessed to still have your mother with you. I think you two are just so beautiful and e. Happy mother's day to both of you.big hugs
I really enjoyed this! Your mom gushing over you had me in tears. What a beautiful relationship.
I enjoyed hearing your mom's perspective on life and aging and living fully. Next time you chat, please ask her about: a) dating and finding companionship. The good, bad, and ugly! It would all help others who are just beginning that chapter of their lives b) Does your mom still drive? c) what's her advice on personal finances for older women?. Especially making sure we have enough to live. I'm terrified of being, old and broke.
If you consistently live beneath your means, it is highly unlikely you will end up broke. Having said that, there are lots of RUclips videos about retirement and finances.
I always remember who got me to start saving. I was listening to Suzie Orman, the financial guru and she said that you need to start putting money in your savigs, pension, IRA etc, when you are young, so I did and was able to retire at 60!
Your mother is so adorable. She is an inspiration. I love her lightness, her laughter, her joy. God bless you both!
Your Mom is such a treasure! Thank you for this pod cast, hopefully it's just the beginning of many more to come.❤
I have come back to watch this having just read your sad yet beautiful post about your mother’s passing. It has been a joy to watch you both together clearly enjoying each other’s company, looking back and forward. Wonderful. My thoughts are with you.
Ms. Audrey, I enjoy seeing you, so beautiful, authentic, grateful, stylish and tasteful. You’re still doing you with healthy eating, working out daily, and intermittent fasting, I love it! Thank you for your wisdom. Dominique, what a good Podcast. Thank you,
My sentiments exactly 💯 👌 👏 🙌 🙄 🙏
Dominique, I enjoyed this so much! I smiled, laughed and cried. I miss my momma so much! You are truly blessed with Ms Audrey! She is as cute as button. Love your podcast also. ❤❤
I’m watching this after you video speaking of your grief of your mother’s passing, That video had me in tears. It was so touching. Such a tribute to your mother. You are so very lucky to have had this fabulous lady as your mother and to have this video to watch for years to come. May God wrap his arms around you through this rocky season.
What a wise and lovely woman Audrey is.

This was enlightening. Your mom is a gem. Good luck with your new endeavour. it is no wonder you are the person you are.
Hi Dominque, I can relate to this so much. I have a 92 year old Mom who lives on her own in her 1 bedroom apartment. I too am an only child. I talk to her everyday and taker her out to do her shopping and what not. She is sharp as a tack. Loves her iPad! We have always been close and of course I too am now in the role of caretaker and I am happy to do it! We are so lucky to have our Moms with us. Every day is a gift! I am so Blessed. Love your channel!
What a blessing to be able to talk to your Mom… be with your mom and just listen to her. I lost my Mom when she was 88 and I miss her every day. …always just drink up everything She says… there’s so many questions. I still wish I could ask my mother… if you think of a question or something that you’d like to know about in the past ask her …what a treasure❤❤ ❤just saying 🙏🏻
This is even more special now. Love her wisdom. ❤ Rest in peace.
What a blessing Dominique recorded this precious video just in time. Audrey will always be a National Treasure, and will be dearly missed! Many pearls of wisdom she left for us to glean from. Dominique, am praying for you and Styles. So glad you have The Lord to hang onto and draw from in this time. Love you Sister, and God richly bless you as you navigate through this new season.
I cannot believe Audrey is 87!!! God Bless you both! Great genes, Dominique!!
😮

You are blessed to have your Mom 🙏🏻 my mom passed at 69 yrs old from a brain tumor 22 yrs ago. I was only 47. It was so hard for me. She and I spoke everyday 😢 something’s money can’t buy this is one of them ❤
That’s exactly happened to me. But my mom was only 66! I was 47 too, like you. I still miss her. I wish I could at least call her in heaven, and talk to her! 😉❤️
I can empathize too. I lost my mother when she was 65, she'd had serious health problems all her life and always knew she wouldn't have a very long lifespan. You were spot-on Dominique about both health and longevity being such incredible blessings. It's so important to be grateful.
What a wonderful podcast! Your mother is truly a blessing! I will be 78 in July and still work! I work for Dillard's and am truly blessed for this company! They are like family! I am always surrounded by wonderful employees and customers that have become friends!!
So wonderful!! Keep working! I'm retired from years of retail and often think about going back to Macy's just for fun 😂🎉
What a beautiful mother daughter relationship... Dominique you are so blessed. I lost my mother 22 years ago and I miss her every single day. I wish I had more time with her
May sincere condolences to you dear . May the happy memories you had with your mom ,console the pain in you heart.
I really enjoyed hearing your exchange! My mother passed earlier this year and we had a similar relationship. Enjoy every minute of your time together on this side of heaven.
Watching this again and hanging onto every word. Hugs and Prayers
Fabulous podcast! I’d love to see you do a Part 2 with Audrey. She’s certainly a joy to watch & listen to along with you.
Hobbies, TV Shows she loves, what her favorite movies, who's her favorite actor & actress, if she could share 24 hours with 1 person dead or alive who would it be, etc etc 🤣🤣
agreed!
I would love a part two as well !❤
Yes to part 2!!
So sad there won't be a part 2 😢 RIP Audrey ❤
Just watched this first time after your Moms passing. What a beautiful tribute to your Mom and to the bond you had for each other. My mom passed in October last year. May you hold the memories close to your heart. ❤
Oh how I miss precious Audrey and everything about her! I just miss her so so much!!! I love you Audrey girl!!❤
I truly enjoy watching you and your mother interact! And you're both a class act ❤
Ah what a loverly lady ❤now you have good memories ❤RIP❤
So incredible that we have this recording of you guys, I was so impressed when I saw it before, It was the first time I'd met your mom. I had this kind of relationship with my mama, but only after a 30-year rough start. We worked at fixing things between us, and it worked. She was always my best friend, but I became one of hers for the last 25 years. She's been on her next journey for the last 10 years. I miss her, and as soon as I do, she sends a message that only she could send. Audrey. The forever incredible Audrey.
Always enjoy You and Audrey together💕 There’s warmth, love and humor and I love it! Thanks to the both of you for sharing and God bless you!
What a treasure this video is for you Dominique to have always. Praying for you, your Mom, and your son
Dominique, Thank you so much for bringing your Mom on again. Watching the interaction between the two of you is fabulous. MOM NEEDS HER OWN PLATFORM! She would definitely have her own audience. She said it herself; she's a rebel. I am so proud of her that she is "Doordashing" (love that), using Uber, and is open to learning new technology. You are both class acts. Love from New Hampshire. ❤❤
I too watched this video again wanting to enjoy the lovely Audrey after learning of her passing. You are so richly blessed to have had such an amazing relationship. You were a wonderful daughter to Audrey, I could see the love and respect you had for each other. It will be painful for a while Dominque especially missing those daily phone calls, but think of all the great memories you have. I loved how you were both patting the dog while doing the video. God Bless you, you've gone through so much, stay strong. You are a delight.
Had to watch this again today. Rest in peace dearest Audrey❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Such a delightful delivery of joy, grace, and human kindness. A hallmark moment for everyone who was fortunate to be a part of both your lives 💕
I had my mom with me until 2 years ago she lived to be 1001/2 years old. She was healthy and with it until the end. We so enjoyed each other she was the family historian and I miss her stories. Life is so precious thank you both for sharing yours,❤
That’s amazing that your mom was healthy and sharp at the age of 100. I love that!
None of us knows how long we get to have this life, but what Audrey modeled so beautifully is the importance of enjoying and celebrating the time you do have. She understood the power of taking great care of yourself and your relationships, so that you can maintain quality of life all the way up to the end. What a special spirit! THANKS for sharing her with us, Dominique -xo
Audrey - what a beautiful woman, on many levels, rest in peace. And how fast life moves on. Month of May was just here. Another reminder to treasure every day God is giving us. Thoughts and prayers for you, Dominique.
My sweet little mom has been gone 30 years, and I think of her every day how she blessed me! I was an only child and your relationship with Audrey reminds me of my own with my mom. I so enjoyed this!
Like you, I recognized at a young age that honestly my parents needed to go separate ways. They finally realized that. I stayed with my dad. Looking back, I am now 49 - I always knew my dad was amazing but how amazing he really was for taking on the challenge of raising a daughter. In the 37 years with my father we never ever had one cross word. Unfortunately he fell at his house, hitting his head and dying from that fall. My world I felt like ended, the person that was my go to was no longer there. Its been 13 years now since his passing and the pain is still there but I also laugh daily about something he might of said about a situation. I am also the only child. My dad was 1 of 16, yes 16. So I had lots of aunts and uncles but all in another state. So, as a only child I had to figure out life alone - and I was absolutely ok with that. The man I married, 14 years older than me has 3 children. All grown with kids of their own. So, at 35 I bacome a wife, step mom and grandma all on the same day lol. I wouldn't have it any other way. It was a little challenging- mainly because I must have my alone time and down time. Anyway...love the podcast! I could go on all night - just typing this brought back happy memories of my dad:)
I LOVE this conversation as (I am currently 64 y.o.) I was BLESSED to know 4 of my grandparents . . . . they died when I was 6, 8, 12 and 19. I relish the stories they told of past generations, changes they had observed in their lives, etc. . . . . . . . I try to pass those stories down to my 4 children and 4 grandchildren because it is becoming very uncommon for kids to really know their grandparents let along their grand-parents !!!! your mother is a darling and your respect and love for your mom is so evident !!!!
Such a beautiful and lively mom of your, Dominique. Thank you for sharing her with us. I wish you knew how much she inspires us, and will forever! I am 56, and am lucky to have both my parents alive but not as lively as her to her very last minute. May she rest in peace in a beautiful place now! My condolences in your grief, dear Dominique. You are pure gold and she was too! Thank you, thank you both from my heart!
🌹
Sweet Domingue this is totally crushing to hear of your beautiful mothers passing. I instantly had to rewatch this incredible podcast. What a cherished wonderful memory!
You truly are the daughter everyone wishes they had! Your mom had incredible beauty, integrity, class and kindness. I am absolutely heartbroken for your unbearable loss. I lost my mother six months ago and it honestly is a daily tremendous hardship. I will pray for you and dear Audrey R.I.P. you will be so missed in this world. 💔
I've been unwaveringly committed to how I allocate my time on social media. Dominque's graciousness coupled with consistently intriguing and interesting content has repeatedly made my time worthwhile. I'm excited for more!
Thank you! That means the world
Me too, a valuable spending of my "me time."
Good morning Dominque, what an incredible warm and adorable podcast with your mom! I was moved to tears, seeing how much gentle love, loving love, wisdom and grace the two of you have for one another. I have seen past interviews as well and have always enjoyed listening to your mothers wisdom and thoughts. I too was blessed to have been raised by such a graceful and elegant mother. Motherhood, and the beloved role we mother's are given by bringing new souls and life into our world is a "gift" like non other! Your mothers' testimony to you brought "tears to my eyes"..as it felt my own mothers' words ring through...even though she has been gone for 18 years! I loved your description of how our parents are a "Launchpad" for the next generation.....brilliant. I am now also referring to this amazing gift we pass along to our own children and now grandchildren as a grounding "anchor" a "steady mast ",in what at times can be a "stormy sea" but we are given that opportunity to be that "one", that "go to" person, "MOM", that brought us into the world. I too was gifted to hold my own mother's hand, whisper quietly to her, about the amazing gift and job she did with me as a mother, and my siblings along with her 7 beautiful grandchildren.
We carry our moms in our hearts, minds and souls forever. She is with you every day......and her" light now shines on through you ",Dominque. I think I see another "title" coming for your "next book" perhaps, too.
How about "Launchpad". Dedicated to your Mom....:) The lessons, we have learned from our mothers....I know I could have written more than one book by now, but "life"...is busy and grandkids...come running in the door now....:):):):)....so no time...to sit and write...but maybe one day!! Ha..a Ha!
Heres' to all our Mothers, Grandmothers, Aunties, and more... that gifted us with "gentle loving embraces from the beginning".....and never truly ending even once they have passed.
Best to you Dominque:)
The journey continues.......:)
Rest Audrey. Condolences to you Dominque & all of Audrey’s Family & Friends. 🙏✝️
I’m 62 and listening to your mum Audrey has given me a bit of a wake up call today when I’m feeling a tad unfit! What an inspiration she is I could listen to her all day. She is living proof that you can look amazing when living a healthy,fit life. 😘🇬🇧
Watched this in honour of Audrey Toll. What a timely wonderful podcast ❤
I watched this and truly felt the love and pride of both mom and daughter. I lost my mom last year and still hear her wisdom, her voice and miss her every day. God Bless . We were fortunate.
Amazing podcast and thank you for sharing your mother with us. You are truly blessed to have her. My mother passed away on Mother's Day in 2014 and I miss her everyday!
I lost my mother last September and know exactly how you feel, it is a loss like no other. You had the most beautiful and wonderful mother… you are both in my prayers…let God heal your ❤
I cant even put into words exactly how i feel watching this. BEAUTIFUL is a start. This was my first Mothers Day without my mother. This podcast was golden!!
Dominique you are blessed to have your mother at 87. My maternal grandmother passed at 100 and I thought my healthy mom would live a long time too. Unfortunately she did not. We had a great relationship like you and Audrey. Audrey, you are enchanting! Dominique, you and I are a lot alike. I can be extroverted and introverted also. When I was growing up, I liked to watch tv, read and play in my room by myself. I also enjoyed being with friends and family. I HAVE to have my alone time now or I get anxious. Great podcast (video)!❤
you are so blessed to have your Mom. she's a knockout, love seeing her. hope to see her a little more, when ever Audrey is able to. I was 22 when I lost my Mom she was just 52 when she passed 5 days after Christmas. never thought I'd lose her so soon. she only met one granddaughter, which is my daughter she had turned 1 yr.old. yep lucky, you still have a wonderful Mom. thanks I enjoyed it very much take care and stay safe.
What a woman Audrey was! She was not only beautiful, but SO incredibly gracious and tactful with you, Dominique!
I loved it! Mother daughter having a nice conversation and being as you said candid and respectful in the process. Elegance comes to mind when I see you both but most importantly love and gratitude for each other. These two go a long way in making this relationship so meaningful. 💯 admiration! Thank you for another lovely podcast.
I am watching this Podcast for the second time. I am still in shock to know she is no more. Rest in Peace beautiful Audrey. Your legacy will live on. Prayers offered for You, Dominique, Styles, Oscar and all those who will miss your smile and contagious laughter.
What a beautiful podcast / video. I had a similar relationship with my Mom who unfortunately has had Altzheimers for the last 7 years. I see her physically but she cannot even communicate, let alone recognize anyone. I miss our conversations so much. You and your mom are truly blessed and I wish you many many years of togetherness.
Bless you, my best friend who is my sister has dementia/Alzheimer’s, she just has her 73rd birthday, she was diagnosed at age 69, I feel your pain, my sister still knows who we are but she can’t communicate, she tries and it’s heartbreaking that she can’t finish a sentence and she tries, I usually can guess what she’s trying to say. 🙏🏻❤️
Dominique, I’m so sorry for your loss. She was the best. RIP Audrey❤️
Thank you for giving back to the 50+ community.
AMEN!!
What a good listen / watch this chat with you and your mama was, Dominique. You moved me to tears with your acknowledgement of the importance of valuing that mother/daughter bond while you have it and how those of us without our mamas miss them dearly. I was blessed with a close and loving relationship with both my mother (who passed when I was in my 30s) and mother-in-law who entered my life three years later and was there for me +18 years. I treasure and miss them both, and so appreciate the love and candour that you have both shared with the rest of us. Thank you both.
