Meet Dominique! One of the lovely contributors to Belong Issue 03! Here's a little Q&A so you can get to know this amazing woman.

WHO ARE YOU? / I'm a ball of energy; inside and out! I love to be active and physical as much as possible. Which helps because it totally calms my brain which is usually going a mile a minute! I definitely have a lot of the characteristics of my sign as a Libra; the scales. I'm balanced and fair but can be indecisive at times. I'm a total go-getter and connector but I have to have quiet time to be alone and recharge.

WHERE DO YOU BELONG? / I've always belonged a little bit of everywhere I think. I've travelled for almost a decade for work which has led me to making connections with people from all walks of life. Whether we agree on the topics, have anything in common or are complete strangers, I've found that mutual respect has allowed me to feel comfortable just about anywhere.

WHAT IS YOUR "WHY"? / I think of all the creative minds in the world today - from the ones who are making art to the ones who are solving international problems - and I worry, what if they didn't have the knowledge or the tools to execute their ideas? It terrifies me. Being creative isn't just about colors on a canvas, its about letting the mind be free to wander and wonder and create.

HOW DID YOU GET HERE? / Ever since I was young, I always knew I wanted to make people feel better but the idea of being something like a doctor or a psychologist didn't appeal to me. So I started to look for different careers where I could help people and combine my passions. I was always interested in music & movies so I went to film school with the intent to make movies and tv shows that would give people something to take their mind off of whatever was bothering them; a place to escape to.

Six years into my career as a producer, I started getting an itch that I needed something more. I looked into the idea of becoming a life coach to work with creatives but starting a business and having to put myself out there was always too terrifying so I shelved the idea.

A few years later, my life started unraveling during my divorce and I'd hit rock bottom. After a ton of soul searching - as one does during a time like that - I realized that divorce aside, I had been unhappy with myself for a while and didn't even know it. I slowly started to build myself back up to the person I always wanted to be. That's when I started tackling all the dreams I'd put on my ""someday"" list and becoming a certified coach was one of them.

IF WE WALKED INTO YOUR LIFE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY, WHAT WOULD SE SEE? / Most days I'm in an office dressed in jeans, heels & a tank with a jacket. I'm always relying on my tech - computer or cell - for emails, social media, writing or watching the latest cuts of a project. On days when I'm on set directing, I'm in cargo pants, t-shirt, hat & gym shoes. I'm 100% focused on the project at hand and barely touch my tech!"

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE OR PIECE OF ENCOURAGEMENT? / My all time favorite quote is "Use Fear as Your Compass". I don't know who said it but I first heard it at a time in my life where I was just coming to terms with all my fears and have been using it ever since!
