Summary
Dominique, a good friend from The Bachelor & Bachelor in Paradise, shares her struggles with depression, anxiety, and being in her head. As she explores her personality she discovers ways in which her external expressions compensated for her internal feelings, how she has identified as having an attitude issue, and just how uncomfortable being vulnerable has been for her. Dominique shares three ways she’s found helpful to get out her head that allow her to embrace vulnerability and deepen the connections in her life.

| 0:18.9 | excited to have you on. You were like OG badge fam lady love friend. I know, but I'm |
| 0:27.3 | like low key too. So you don't really, you don't really know that I'm there, but we'll talk |
| 0:33.8 | about that. Oh no, you're you're so there. So part of why I want to have you on because |
| 0:40.8 | well, a like we became friends through bachelor when you were on and you were just like so nice |
| 0:46.6 | and you're like doing people's makeup and you do like the most amazing, beautiful makeup. |
