48. Dominique Methe: Reinvention, Nervous System Healing & Supporting Mothers Through Trauma

In this deeply honest and powerful conversation, Vero sits down with social worker Dominique Méthé to talk about growth, courage, reinvention, and supporting women through some of life’s most vulnerable seasons. After spending 10 years working on the mental health team inside a men’s medium-security institution, Dominique made the difficult decision to leave the stability of government work and step into private practice - all while navigating motherhood, anxiety, and her daughter’s health challenges. Together, they explore the realities of burnout, nervous system overload, identity beyond career titles, and the pressure women feel to hold everything together. Dominique also shares her passion for supporting women through postpartum struggles, fertility journeys, miscarriage, birth trauma, and motherhood, while opening up about her own healing journey and her growing interest in breathwork and nervous system regulation. This episode is a reminder that success should never come at the cost of yourself - and that asking for help is not weakness, it’s strength.
