Today we’d like to introduce you to Domonique Broomfield.
Hi Domonique, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Hello! As stated, my name is Domonique. I am a Cincinnati native. I am the CEO of “The Vision Runner” and the nonprofit, EsteemU™️. I am also a National Licensed Mental Health & Substance Abuse Instructor, registered with the National Council of Mental Wellbeing. My mission is to fuel, power, and build every woman I meet using my story of how I transformed my life by turning hardship and adversity into opportunities that “leveled” me up. I’m always looking for the why, the lesson, and the next level. What others see as impossible, I see as “Dare me!”
My story has one common thread= create opportunities from adversity! I have learned to lean into the unknown, unforeseeable, and unimaginable to extract strategies for navigating some of life’s most challenging transitions. This has empowered me to aid other women in similar circumstances.
By learning to shift my attention from merely surviving difficulties to utilizing them to elevate my life, I was able to “show up” for myself, my family, and the marketplace with newfound confidence to consistently bring to life my God-given vision for my personal and professional goals.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
No, it has not been an easy path, but I found it necessary for me to stand as boldly and powerfully as I do today. Growing up as a teenager taking care of my chronically ill sister and managing other family dynamics that, let’s just say, “allowed me” to lead, I learned how to handle medical plans and other family business. These skills would later empower me to create community outreach programs at 13 years old, that mentored teenagers who had to be adults before time, just like me.
That “drive” would prove beneficial in my adult years as I learned how to overcome generational poverty and illiteracy. My resiliency also grounded me in recovering from a high-conflict divorce in my 30s, surviving postpartum depression & rearing three children who were chronically ill. My children are now thriving, healthy adults who have recovered from their childhood medical issues.
As discussed in my book “Secure Your Healing”, set to be released this spring, here are some of the steps I took to secure my healing journey:
- Took Accountability. I took personal accountability by enrolling in therapy and subsequent mentorship, which resulted in me overcoming generational educational and financial barriers and becoming the first college graduate in my family. This would lead to a continuous string of “firsts,” with my 24-year-old daughter being the second college graduate in the family.
- Took ownership of my life. With my keen problem-solving and program-creation abilities, employment opportunities opened to me. My youthful challenges unveiled my ability to critically analyze and organize information in highly stressful situations. Wing-to-wing processes that permanently solve problems come easily to me. I put my life in project management mode and mapped out a plan.
- Embraced change. I learned to co-create stable relationships, seek out and ask for help, and commit to learning whatever I needed to achieve my goals. It is those relationships that allowed me to level up! One of those relationships was Dress for Success. In September of 2022, I was presented with the Dress For Success “Mary Ivers” award at the Fashion Show & Gala. Each year, this award is given to a past or current client who has overcome significant barriers, has attained self- sufficiency and is a true example of the Dress for Success mission coming to life.
- Develop resiliency. I’m determined to not waste one drop of my past lessons. Along this journey, I had a lot of adversity and complex challenges that inspired me to provide opportunities for women going through disparities like me. I do this through my coaching company, The Vision Runner™️,️ where I operate as a Vision Coach & Life Strategist.
- Becoming Limitless! Seeing infinite possibilities led me down a road to maximize the reward of my frustrations. Many times, I didn’t have a safe space to express what I was going through. This resulted in me becoming an Intelligent Safe Space Creator and Facilitator™️ , specializing in constructing certified secured spaces that foster nonviolent communication, active listening, and reducing stigma around mental illness. In 2022 I was recognized and featured in Siti Girl Cincinnati and Movers & Makers virtual magazines.
- Speaking Up! As a motivational speaker and highly sought-after podcaster and radio personality, I share my powerful and transformative story of “leveling up” from difficult life transitions as the host of The Domonique Brand Show & Listen to The Vision Radio. I tackle subjects such as mastering your life pre- and post-divorce, mental health, single parenting, and entrepreneurship via my signature talk, “Secure Your Healing.” In 2022 I was featured on the SpeakupSIS Everyday Women Series and front cover of its debut magazine.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
My message is wrapped in my brand. The Domonique Brand is a lifestyle & personal development brand that creates businesses, products, and services that help women excel at the art of self-construction. My goal is to be an asset to women as they build a vision that includes constructing a better self that enables them to first be agents of their development and then of others.
The Vision Runner® is a visual management company that provides vision coaching services and programs that help women disconnect distractions and dismantle barriers to being their best selves. Our mission is to fuel, empower, and build every woman we meet by equipping them with the tools to navigate life transitions, relentlessly pursue their personal growth, and secure their ultimate vision for their lives.
Together, clients and I build an action plan outlining best practices that guide my clients confidently into the future of their dreams. We accomplish this by providing support as the client walks through identifying and unlearning cycles that keep them from progressing. The Vision Runner® specializes in helping women become the leader of their own lives, build confidence, and overcome insecurities, doubts, and fears.
I also founded EsteemU™️ , a 501c3 nonprofit whose mission is to raise awareness of the long- term effects of economic and financial abuse on divorced women’s mental health. We accomplish this by providing access to professional, emotional, and mental health programs that increases self-sufficiency, resilience, and quality of life. We are intelligent safe space creators and facilitators that specializes in constructing certified secured safe spaces within organizations that focus on nonviolent communication, active listening, and removing mental health stigma.
Through my organizations, we secure unsecured visions, define undefined identities, and power up powerless voices. My out-of-the-box, never-afraid, NON-cookie-cutter approach to life sets me apart from others. My passion to not only see women win but to also help them in any way I can will always be my life mission.
We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you.
I don’t believe in luck. I believe in “sowing and reaping.” I believe in hard work and dedication to a cause bigger than me. I believe in following your dreams. I can’t wait for luck because I am…. Domonique.
