We’re looking forward to introducing you to Dominique Thomas. Check out our conversation below.
Dominique, we’re thrilled to have you with us today. Before we jump into your intro and the heart of the interview, let’s start with a bit of an ice breaker: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
Thank you again for the opportunity to interview with Bold Journey. It truly is always a pleasure. The way I start my mornings has become such an important part of who I am and how I show up each day. The first 90 minutes are all about centering myself. As soon as I open my eyes and turn off my alarm, I immediately begin listing five things I’m grateful for. It helps me set my heart in the right place. Then I slip in my AirPods and listen to my daily devotional, followed by a chapter from my Bible app. After that, I get on my knees to pray. That’s my time to really talk to God and surrender my day to Him. Once I finish, I climb back into bed and either put on my “feel good” playlist or a motivational podcast, depending on what my spirit needs most. It’s my way of filling my cup before I pour into anyone else.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Dominique Thomas, and I’m the founder of We’ll & Fit Coaching. I’m a Certified Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, and Wellness Coach with over 14 years of experience helping people transform not just their bodies, but their entire lifestyles. What makes my brand unique is that I don’t just focus on workouts and meal plans. I focus on the whole person: their mindset, their habits, their relationship with themselves, and their ability to sustain wellness long term.
My journey hasn’t been a straight line. I’ve had to overcome my own challenges, and those experiences have shaped the way I connect with my clients. I understand what it feels like to start over, to push through obstacles, and to build discipline when motivation isn’t enough. That’s why transparency and authenticity are at the core of everything I do.
Right now, I’m most excited about my new book, Move. Encourage. Inspire., which shares my story and lessons I’ve learned along the way. I also continue to build a community where women can prioritize their health, faith, and personal growth in a supportive environment.
At the heart of it all, my mission is simple: to move, encourage, and inspire others to live naturally healthy lives and to remind them that they are capable of far more than they believe.
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What relationship most shaped how you see yourself?
I can’t really say that just one relationship defines how I see myself. Instead, it’s the combination of my relationship with God, my children, my close family and friends, and even a relationship I was in last year that has all shaped me into the woman I am today.
My relationship with God has grown so much over the years. I feel like I’m in constant communication with Him now. I’ll never forget the moment when a friend told me, “God is already pleased with you.” That truth shifted me. No matter what I’ve been through, God has always seen me as enough, and that alone gives me the confidence to show up every single day.
My children have molded me into a better person as well. While they see the “bells and whistles” of my accomplishments, at the end of the day, I am simply “Mommy.” They keep me grounded and love me in the purest way. Recently, they told me they’ll always know I do what I say I’ll do, that I’m a woman of my word. Through them, I see myself as a woman of honesty, integrity, loyalty, and love.
My close friends and family also play a big role. They constantly remind me of who I am and how far I’ve come. So many of them tell me, “You’re doing it,” whether I’m standing on my own or pushing through struggles. Their love and support have shown me my own resilience.
And lastly, there was a relationship I had last year that, though it didn’t last, left a lasting impact on me. Even after it ended, I carried forward the lessons he taught me, how to better manage my emotions, how to hold my heart above the pain I sometimes carry, and how to anchor myself in peace. He helped me see that the way I love is in abundance, and that love is a reflection of who I am. For that reason, I remain grateful. Even though the relationship ended, I cherish the role it played in my healing journey.
What have been the defining wounds of your life—and how have you healed them?
The defining wounds in my life came in the form of betrayal during my former marriage. While I share openly in my new book about the cheating, lies, and mental abuse I endured, what stands out to me the most isn’t what was done to me, it’s the way I betrayed myself.
I wasn’t brave enough at the time to walk away from something I already knew wasn’t for me. I stayed and put up with so much nonsense, trying to save something that could not be repaired. For months, I silenced my own voice and sacrificed my peace, convincing myself that maybe things would change.
It took time, but eventually I found the courage to say, No, this is not how I want my life to go. I realized I was capable of creating a life I loved on my own terms. Looking back, I sometimes regret not betting on myself sooner. But even through the pain, I can now see that God was working on my behalf the entire time, and He still is. For that, I am deeply grateful.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Is the public version of you the real you?
Absolutely! Who you see is who you get. I pride myself on being transparent and authentic because I believe that’s the best way to connect with people. Now, do I keep certain things private? Absolutely. While I share openly about my journey, my growth, and even my struggles, there are parts of my life that I choose to protect.
Things such as my health, my children’s health, my dating life, and the sacred moments I spend processing my emotions, healing, and re-centering myself will always remain private. Those are the areas that I hold close to my heart, not because I am hiding anything, but because they deserve a level of respect and care that can’t always be found in public spaces.
Being open doesn’t mean sharing everything. It means being honest and real in what I share. My hope is that people see that balance: I can be transparent, vulnerable, and relatable while still protecting the spaces that keep me grounded, healthy, and whole.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
When I am gone, I want my story to show others that you can use your gifts that God has given you to be impactful in His kingdom. I want my light to shine even after I am gone. I want to leave a lasting impression of honesty, integrity, loyalty, and love. Also, I hope that my community can hear me in the back of their heads, reminding them to NEVER MISS A MONDAY! Lol!
